Comment on Why do Republicans hate the poor so much?

All the most terrible christians I have ever had the displeasure of interacting with were Protestants
It is Evangelical Churches boosting fascist candidates in the US and my own country of Brazil.
If people want to convince me that Protestantism ISN’T authoritarian ultracapitalism in Church Clothes, they’ll have to show me something that stands stronger than the entirety of the past 10 years
Trump, Bolsonaro, all boosted by Protestants.
Actually protestants in italy ate the most progressive form of Christianity we have. The Valesian church for example accept same sex marriage, has had female priests since forever and has a very strong position on church-state separation and non proselytizing.
You just don’t know much about protestants and think they are all the same like Trump or Bolsonaro.

Like I said, Protestant churches come in many flavors. MANY flavors.
What you’re saying is like, “Every quadrilateral I’ve seen lately has four equal sides and four right angles, I think you’re wrong about them only needing four sides.”
Evangelicals are (generally) Protestants (although “Evangelical” isn’t really any sort of organized body but rather something people identify as), but not all Protestants identify as Evangelicals. Those who preach the Prosperity Gospel would profess to be Protestant or Evangelical, but not all Protestants or even all Evangelicals buy into Prosperity Gospel.
Again, the most progressive denominations of Christianity are Protestant. That said, so are the least progressive denominations. It’s a huge category.
