Well if you read the bible, God elects them ;)

Romans 13:1

"Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God."

No, among many Republican Christians, it was "Let his days be few; may another take his place of leadership" (Psalms 109:8) when during the administration of former President Barack Obama.

I never heard this verse when Obama was allegedly the antichrist.

We also saw burning effigies of Obama, birther nonsense, and comparing him and his wife to apes.

To address the sarcastic original post lol...

Lesser-of-two-evils logic, Identity politics, tribalism, and for a sizable portion of one party, clinging to the idea of using government to enforce their religious beliefs (while ignoring almost every other issue).

I think that about sums it up :)
