If I said "In my town we are Red Sox fans" does this mean I am saying literally every person in my town is a Red Sox fan?
It's a generality. Stop being a sensitive snowflake and send all of your money to me since the money is speaking for you and says you trust in God.
This is correct.Quote:

See you're doing it again. You're acting like he magically made you a Christian, because let's face it if he "made" you a Muslim you wouldn't be bitching right now. It's the Christian thing, right? You know I'm right.Quote:

Hey, when your president is a narcissistic oompa loompa who tried to sell luxury steaks through Sharper Image, he can say whatever he wants.Quote:

He didn't say that. He didn't even imply that. You are now looking for a reason to be outraged over something. Try just being happy for once.Quote:

He certainly promoted monotheism. And he did mean it literally. He sent this tweet deliberately, it wasn't just saying "god bless America" at the end of a speech. More than that though, we all know what he meant.
Just for the cheap seats: this is gaslighting. He says some shit, everyone knows what he means because of context, and his worshippers tell you, "oh no, he didnt say that. He was speaking lyrically and just meant something else"
That is gaslighting
