When I hear the term 'leftist', the image that pops into my head is the stereotypical drug using, nose ring wearing, gender queer sjw type... the strawman that right wingers like to tear down. Black churches are filled with democrats, nobody is calling Grandma Winslow a leftist. Leftist is a stupid word. And just as stupid as it is to equate Democrat politics with all the above, it is to equate "christian" with sonatine's idea of "christian", which is Westboro Baptist Church, dusty road bible belt, hills have eyes yokels with shotguns dragging fags behind pickup trucks, n-word hating klansmen... yes those types tend to vote R, but the kind of "Christian" that is the political force that makes Republican presidents happen are just suburban white people who mortgage houses and have kids they want to put through college that earn 6 figures and write 5 figure checks to the government every fucking year. They do not want to pay more taxes. Nobody gives a fuck anything but that. It's black and white. "Do you want to pay more taxes? Yes or No"
they vote No
and also, they aren't really Christian, but they pretend to be because they are chickenshit conformists like their parents
