Trump Tells Non-Christians

At Rally To Identify Themselves

Some day maybe we will get our own armbands!

Donald Trump bragged about the support he received from Christian conservatives at an event in Iowa on Wednesday night, and even asked those backers to raise their hands.

Then he asked audience members who were not Christian to identify themselves.

“Raise your hand if you’re not a Christian conservative. I want to see this, right? Oh there’s a a couple people, that’s all right,” Trump said as he dismissively waved a hand. “I think we’ll keep them, right? Should we keep them in the room, yes? I think so.”

For now, I suppose. Since he doesn't have any power to do anything about us... yet.

early in the campaign when he equated Mexicans to rapists (my wife is Mex Am). It just keeps getting colder and colder.

Funny, I thought we won the second world war. How come our country still has so many nazis running around threatening us? Maybe they’ve been hiding under our prohibitions of criticizing religion and capitalism. Yeah, I think that’s i

According to the footnotes, members of minority religions were lumped in with the JHs, so we might be too, maybe with a letter "A" added for good old nazi efficiency.
