I would like to ask if anyone on this site has confronted a faith believer who supports Trump. If so, was any argument offered or any defense made of such an incorrigible person? Was there any awareness that Trump marks a new nadir among political leaders vis-a-vis Christian principles?

I'm neither a 'faith believer' nor Republican, for that matter. I voted for him. I'm not a "Trump Supporter" as the term is understood (often misunderstood) by sycophants of either Left or Right fringes. Democrats and Republicans NEVER. repeat NEVER elect anyone. One migh think so to watch them strut after elections wherein their candidates win.

Both factions/parties have lunatic fringes and party loyals that are incapable of understanding, let alone asserting independent ideas. Accepting ideas and "facts" of others is the price of identity and admission. Fundamentalist Christians and Socialist blind sycophants function almost identically. Don't believe it? Try reasoning with any of them outside their doctrinal boundaries.

They're all, in my view, juvenile name-calling, tantrum throwing, non-reasoning cattle who stampede easily if they can't simply side-step reasoning or irrefutable facts.

It really is funny sometimes. Humor is kind of rooted in tragedy anyway.

We, the non-party affiliated portion of the electorate ALWAYS determine who will win an election. The only thing parties do is nominate the crappy candidates between whom we must choose. Since chosen ones, one and all, are adored as saints by their gushing, fawning herds anyone with anything critical and thought-based to say about the darlings will be savaged and demonized by the faithful' who worship them as tin gods and despise opponents as devils.

All too juvenile. I'm so thankful that our Constitution hasn't decayed yet to the point where either faction can capsize our 'ship of state' to port or starboard. Won't be long though. The only hope yet is that ignorant new voters will have a difficult time finding time to visit polling places while they thumb their phones.

I have confronted people online, not too much in person. I have found the ones online don't seem to care about how horrible of a person Trump is. He says the things they like to hear, and they think he will shift the Supreme Court far enough right that they will overturn Roe v Wade. So, in their mind he is the bomb. Most seem to lack any kind of normal human empathy and are oblivious to how toxic Trump is, so until they are directly affected by him in a profound way they will just keep bowing their heads. Heck even then they will convince themselves that whatever evil Trump has thrust on them is Obama's fault.
