It seems like politics draws in a lot of flawed people generally, but Republicans have been electing an amazing number of absolutely horrible human beings. Gaetz, Green, Bobert, Cruz, Jordan, Santos… oh, and of course Trump. Lots more. Just really, really bad people.
Politicians often reflect the wishes of the people who vote them in. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that “only the threat of hell keeps people from doing bad things” Christians tend to vote republican.
I think at this point that ship has sailed - they don’t even believe themselves anymore, e.g. many don’t go to church. Certainly the Karens do not bother to “love one another”, or to feed the poor, give comfort to those in prison, take care of widows & orphans, care that the worker deserves their wages, etc. It is cultural at this point, less than religious.
But not entirely, bc in the last Presidential election “evangelical Christians” did have the single highest majority of people in it voting for Trump. So there’s that, though I am saying that it just seems a more complex mixture than only that.
When Republicans send its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.

Personality disorders vote for personality disorders
It doesn’t prevent many of them from doing bad things. They think they will be forgiven as long as they are believers.

Sadly, if you’re referring to Republican politicians, your version is more true than Trump’s original.
Problem with democracy is that the best aren’t necessarily elected in, the popular are.
Don’t forget Tuber. I feel like that mother fucker gets a pass even though Tuber is just as bad as the rest of them shit heads.
Oh, he’s horrible for sure. Like I said, many others including Johnson, Gosar, and Gohmert.
