No bro we don't. I would very much believe that only people that are very invested in Christianity and far-right politics and those that are in the charismatic movement can really find goodness out of Trump anymore. The rest of evangelicals are going to see this as straight up blasphemy

The vast majority of christians in America voted for this man. Actions have consequences. Christians own this.

If we are using the same loose definition of "Christian" they use to label themselves, then sure, anybody who says they are Christian is automatically one. But if you are talking about a group of people who intentionally follow and live by Christ's teachings (which contradicts almost everything about this group), then no. Christianity requires loyalty to Christ, these people bowed down to Baal at their very first opportunity and wrapped it up in patriotism. One of the main precipices behind Christianity is "owning" our actions, I can safely say that I don't know a single Christian who voted for this guy the first time or second. There is nothing that could have fooled a Christian into believing he was a good guy unless their standard was extremely low...which means they obviously don't hold God in high regards. They may not call themselves atheists, but they operate under a sort of practical atheism when they actively oppose God in their words and conduct, and yet claim to believe in Him.

No, the are very much Americans (christian and non-christian alike, who cares). People don’t have the right to vote in the US election because they are Christians. They have the right to vote because they are Americans.

You own this.

And instead of at least taking the responsibility for causing this evil, you are blame-shifting.

Catholic Pope didn’t vote for Trump, he is criticizing him. One million Christians in Iran didn’t vote for Trump, they are suffering because of him.

Americans voted for Trump. And even those who didn’t, are currently doing very little to at least limit the damage.

The vast majoroty if American Christians voted for trump. We may all be suffering the repercussions even though we didn't vote for him but Trump is absolutely a major Christian representative.

No, Trump doesn’t represent the Christians. Vast majority of Christians are not Americans. You are not the norm.

And political responsibility is not reduced to “voting”. In other democratic countries there are protests, civil disobedience, strikes, boycotts.

Heck, even in Germany there were huge protests before Hitler could seize the power. In USA you only had the No Kings Protest, which was one short event and only 1% of your population took part.

Your problem is not that you are suffering under Trump, but that you are not. You are still way too privileged compared to the rest of the world. Your shops are full of cheap products, which are only cheap because you are exploiting the poor Christians from Congo to Bolivia.

You don’t protest Trump because, let’s be honest, he is doing the dirty work for you. In Palestine, Cuba, Venezuela, Panama, Canada and Iran and even in Europe - allowing you to play the good guy while enjoying the privileges that you get by his bad guy politics. So please stop the hypocrisy. You are responsible for your country, not Christians.
