Did it surprise you that Gerald Ford won a landslide percentage of the Protestant vote, while Jimmy Carter won a landslide percentage of the Catholic vote?

Ford got about 55% of the Protestant vote.

Carter got about 55% of the Catholic vote.

Having established beyond a shadow of a doubt that Protestants who make up the overwhelming majority in this country aren't responsible for anything, it doesn't matter.

They're not responsible for who wins or loses elections. They just sit home rather than vote than whine about the Catholic minority rather than putting their own house in order.

The Catholic vote is in most elections a near total wash with the number of Catholics who vote one way nearly equaling the number who vote the opposite but somehow, that's all that matters, the few percentage point difference in how a minority of the population votes. Forget the majority who are Protestant, their votes don't even get counted, right?

The premise that a few percent of a minority who in total constitute less than 20% of the population is responsible for who wins and loses elections is absurd on the face of it unless someone is so stupid the honestly believe the other 80% of the people who vote don't have their votes counted.

Now, the 95% plus of Protestant black folks who vote democrat, that's another matter, one the Protestant folks carefully avoid dealing with and I've never heard of any major Protestant effort to remove that huge beam sticking out of the national Protestant eye socket. Even evangelizing fellow Protestant Methodists would be a start, but nope, those Methodists and their queer pastors marrying queers to one another don't matter because . . .
. . . . . we're supposed to all agree that Protestants aren't responsible for anything just because they're the overwhelming majority of votes cast in all national election.

As sad as the strong delusion of Protestantism has become, in many ways it's hilarious.
