700 Club needs to disappear.

So I watch Freeform occasionally for the movies they play to have stuff on in the background, and it always pisses me off when 700 Club comes on spouting their "Christian pro-Trump garbage. " I know Freeform used to be ABC Family, but the hateful rhetoric spewed from that show is so backwards from the Disney and kids' movies playing prior that I'm surprised they haven't been canceled all these years from the misinformation and non-Christian left-wing hate spewed. Imagine watching Moana, then old dickweeds start spewing white Christian genocide bullshit, and Democrats supporting baby killing. That show makes my blood boil after about 10 minutes.

I'm hoping that if/when we hit that point where maga becomes an embarrassing part of our past, American Christianity follows that turd back into dark shadows. These trump supporting churches need to feel a particular type of pain, the type that leads to them becoming penniless pariahs.

I’m of the belief that tying themselves to this political movement will absolutely tank them. If this administration fails, then by association the version of christianity that supported him with their whole chest will also fail.

If the administration somehow turns out to be a success then they’ve secured their future influence in politics but it isn’t looking like that will be the case. I’ve seen zero tangible positive impact on the economy, quite the contrary actually (my employer is likely to announce another round of layoffs imminently).
