The Deep Racial Divide Between White and Black Evangelical ...

Yes, I certainly agree that there are major differences between black and white evangelicals. But nowhere is it suggested that they (black or white) are "low IQ" as guno described.

[Flash]

Yep -- angry, fearful, clueless white people.

While those meeting these characteristics voted for Trump, it is misleading to describe most Trump voters this way:

From Pew Research:

White college graduates: Trump 49% Clinton 45%. Obviously, many white Trump supporters were not "uneducated."

Trump's gains (compared to 2012) came from whites with no college degrees, especially in the Midwest. Where were these voters in 2012? They voted for Obama. The hypocrisy is that they were not clueless, low IQ, rural hicks when they voted for Obama, only when they switched to Trump. The white working class had long been a key element in the Democratic New Deal coalition since the depression. These were the "little people," "salt of the earth" "middle Americans" when they voted Democratic. Then, those full of hatred found their outlet in belittling those who voted for him.

"Obama-Trump voters … effectively accounted for more than two-thirds of the reason Clinton lost, according to Matt Canter, a senior vice president of the Democratic political firm Global Strategy Group. In his group’s analysis, about 70 percent of Clinton’s failure to reach Obama’s vote total in 2012 was because she lost these voters … His firm’s conclusion is shared broadly by other Democrats who have examined the data, including senior members of Clinton’s campaign and officials at the Democratic data and analytics firm Catalist."

[Again, I am not a Trump supporter. I am just describing some facts to correct ignorant stereotypes and what I see as real hatred and rage from both sides based on our political differences--very much like our attachment to sports teams] Maybe all this stress accounts for the recent decline in U. S. life expectancy.

Call it what you will.. They reject science and follow the Scofield heresy.

I have goono on ignore, but lemme guess, Muslims are waaaaaaay smarter than Christians. Do I win a prize?

[The Ugly Truth]

I'm glad we agree on this. Perhaps you can explain why so many Xtians -- especially the fundies -- support an immoral, thrice-divorced, adulterous, crooked, lying, cheating, pompous, cruel and non-Christian bullying pig like Trump?

Because we could not support Hillary. I'm surprised you even needed to ask this question. Trump isn't perfect, but Hillary makes him look like an eagle scout. Did you support Hillary? Because she is everything you claim Trump is, and even worse.

Muslims don't eat 'pork', which seems to be VERY important to guno, so 'No', you don't get a prize.
(Christians eat 'pork', so you're very close, try again later)

Christians do not reject science. They reject Darwinism, which is not science.

Evangelicals do reject science.

IQ has nothing to do with lack of knowledge in a particular area; otherwise, we could label those with any religious beliefs as low IQ.

[The Ugly Truth]

Evangelicals do reject science.

No. We don't. In fact, Christians are the ones who developed the scientific method. It is based on the belief in God and the universal laws He created, that allow for repeatable scientific experiments.

Evangelicals reject archaeology and geology.

[Flash]

Evangelicals reject archaeology and geology.

Many do not reject that science. Many simply belong to those religious denominations and are no more religious than the majority of us. Or, many of them see no conflict between science and religious beliefs. And, many accept evolution (as long it does not mean "we came from monkeys").

I supported Bernie.

You've been lied to about Hillary, and you deliberately chose to believe those lies in order to excuse your support for one of the most despicable ppl on this planet. Too bad there isn't a Heaven, Hell, or Pearly Gates. I'd sure love to watch you explain this to St. Peter when you all leave here.

No surprise of where trump followers fall into

The pork gobbling fundies, the lower IQ crowd

At the bottom

the southern baptists and other fundy loons

Assuming your premise to be true for a moment, they each have more common sense than a dozen Hillary voters.
