They should run as Republicans, the fucking slimes.
Literally poison to the party, the complete opposite of the change inside the party people are looking for.
Please don't cost me my rights
Like ultimately I can stand with them if they worship the Jesus who welcomed eunuchs and prostitutes, and there's something positive if they can see the good in socially progressive issues. Otherwise, if they're just going to say "fuck the queers and women, but not the poor and immigrants" I'd rather they change the republican party.
If you were duped by that guy, you were either not paying attention or just really stupid. Not the kind I want inserting themselves into decision making. Fuck all the way off, please.
Keep religious types out of the Democratic party. They only bring their problematic views and conservative bullshit with them. The party already has enough problems of their own with turncoats, Republican pandering, and kowtowing to rich lobbyists.
I forget which republican it was in the 80s that tried raising the alarm about courting the religious right. The essence of what they said was that you couldn't negotiate or compromise with someone who thinks they have god on their side.
Edit to add (thank you PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone):
Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.

I just never really understood anyone that could sit there and listen to what the cons and Republicans say and do and what their aims are and then think any of that lines up with red letter stuff from "the" bible.
But I'm thinking a lot of conservative xtians are not really readers, despite all their talk of "the" bible.
A lot of them have bought into prosperity gospel where your bak account is the measure of your faith in god.
Easy. Dems being taken over by the enemy. Enjoy voting!
I hope their faith guides them but does not control nor blind them.
Fuck religion.
Too little too late white men.
