I don't have that many conservative friends, but I hope my friends will pass this story along to conservatives and Christians who might have their eyes opened.
I think most of DT's supporters don't understand enough about North Korea. There is no place in the world that is worse for Christians.

[Chois] statements describing oppression, as well as his report of imprisonment for owning a Bible or practicing faith, align with everything we know about North Korea, Open Doors President David Curry told Fox News. Rated the worst place for the persecution of Christians, North Korea treats Christians horrendously and registers them as 'enemies of the state' for their faith.

Inmates, most of whom are serving life sentences, face harsh and often lethal conditions. According to the testimony of a former guard from Camp 22, prisoners live in bunkhouses with 100 people per room and some 30 percent show the markings of torture and beatings -- torn ears, gouged eyes and faces covered with scars.
Unfortunately, it is inexplicably easy to wind up in one of these camps. While someone can be sent to one of these camps for openly evangelizing, someone can just as easily be sent there for simply being in contact with a religious person, said King of the International Christian Concern.
Prisoners are forced to stand on their toes in tanks filled with water up to their noses for 24 hours, stripped and hanged upside-down while being beaten or given the infamous "pigeon torture -- where both hands are chained to a wall at a height of 2 feet, forcing them to crouch for hours at a time.
Tiny rations of watery corn porridge leave inmates on the brink of starvation, and many hunt rats, snakes and frogs for protein. Some even take the drastic measure of searching through animal dung for undigested seeds to eat. Beatings are handed out daily for offenses as simple as not bowing down in respect to the guards fast enough. Prisoners are used as practice targets during martial arts training. Guards routinely rape female inmates.

So why are US fungelicals slobbering all over Comrade Casino and his anti-christian BFFs? Whacky. Totally wacky. What the hell, they already vote against their own interests, might as well support someone who is out to destroy their religion. Guess they really don't care after all. Sad.

(6,834 posts)The evangelicals, most of which are fanatical Trump supporters, might get a touch of cognitive dissonance when they learn NK's state religion is atheism and all other religions are outlawed. And Christians are imprisoned and tortured because of their illegal faith.
