另外,很多支持者对拜登过去40多年从政生涯没有什么杰出表现表示嘲讽。在他们眼里,川普履行了他的承诺,做了很多别人不敢做的事情,比如疯狂退群。让我惊讶的是,很多人甚至把川普和上帝联系在了一起,觉得川普是上帝派来的(君权神授?!)其中一个很重要原因是川普的Pro life政策(反堕胎)并且对一男一女以外的婚姻的不认同。一些基督教徒不喜欢川普的性格,但对川普这些符合上帝在圣经中指导人间行为的方式表示认同。
下面这段文字很好地反映了一个支持者的内心世界。他觉得川普就是上帝派遣到美国来的,因为没有别的总统会支持同性恋等话题,并且反对堕胎。这位支持者觉得民主党在政期间什么都没做,类似的,很多川普支持者都对lockdown深恶痛绝,觉得生命虽可贵,自由价更高。
汇总一下,支持川普的原因大约有以下这些 (英文来自Facebook):
