Leftist Former Megachurch Youth Pastor Says Trump Supporters Can’t be ‘Good’ People

In yet another example of extreme Trump Derangement Syndrome, a former megachurch youth pastor named John Pavlovitz wrote an essay via Substack on August 2^nd, asserting that President Trump was “the very worst humanity has produced” and it’s impossible for anyone who supports him to be a “good person.”

The antithesis of Christianity

It’s small wonder that he’s a “former” pastor, as his sentiments are not Christian-like in the least. It’s also no surprise that this radical leftist has now turned into a progressive activist, following in the footsteps of communist Catholic priests, who one would think would suffer from cognitive dissonance since communists are typically atheists. Then again, we live in a world where Islamofascism is ascendant.

“We all tell ourselves a story, and in that story our cause is always just, our motives are always pure, our side is eternally the right one. We’ve all spent a lifetime learning how to defend ourselves against criticism, even when that criticism is justified. In the name of self-preservation, we can gaslight the world and even ourselves when necessary. The assumption of our goodness protects us from accountability for thoughts and words and actions that are neither noble nor decent nor redemptive,” the failed pastor claimed in his blog post.

Trump Derangement Syndrome on steroids

“I often hear people say, ‘He or she supports him but is a really good person,’” Pavlovitz wrote in his Substack post concerning Trump supporters. “I consider that an oxymoron. I believe aligning with him is fundamentally antithetical to anything good.”

Up is down… good is evil

He also laid out a whole list of things that “good people” don’t do – never mind the list is filled with lies and misrepresentations:

Good people don’t indiscriminately round up human beings, separate them from their families, and throw them into stifling dog kennels or ship them to foreign countries without due process.

Good people don’t terminate dedicated public servants, highly educated physicians and scientists, and revered generals, if they don’t like the information these people provide them.

Good people don’t prevent the release of the results of investigations into massive human trafficking and sexual assault rings.

Good people don’t employ and platform white supremacists and Nazis.

They don’t erase protections for the water and the air, for the elderly, the terminally ill, and for LGBTQ people.

They don’t vilify and violently attack peaceful protestors

They don’t take away healthcare from the sick and the poor.

They don’t gouge those in poverty while sheltering the wealthy.

They don’t abuse their social media platforms to bait world leaders and to taunt private citizens.

Good people don’t lie as easily as breathing, or make a mockery of a religion they have no interest in, or treat people of color and women as property, or disregard the systems and laws of this land because powerful and complicit enablers allow it.

Good people don’t prey upon the vulnerable, they don’t leverage their influence to bully dissenters, and they don’t harbor sexual predators.

According to Fox News, Pavlovitz used to be a youth pastor at an evangelical church in North Carolina. That’s hard to wrap your head around. What kind of church would employ such a rabidly hateful pastor? And yet he’s still peddling hate in front of various congregations with a special emphasis on reaching young people.

The immorality and degradation of progressive Christianity

Pavlovitz has been spewing venom about Trump since his election victory in 2016. His deranged essays have been mind-numbingly popular in progressive Christian circles (now, that’s an actual oxymoron). One so-called faith news outlet actually labeled him the “digital pastor of the resistance.”

Someone needs to read the Bible and seriously reacquaint themselves with the gospel. What Pavlovitz claimed in his post is the very opposite of what Trump has done. It’s classic Cloward and Piven – up is down, good is evil. It is deflective leftist propaganda.

Peddling Trump-hatred

“But this President is not a good human being, and there’s simply no way around this truth,” Pavlovitz wrote. “Objectively speaking, he is the very worst humanity has produced, a moral bottom-feeder without scruples or conscience or decency.”

“He is the vile personification of the Ugly American, which is why, as long as he is here and as long as he represents and holds power over this nation, we will be a dangerous place, a fractured mess, and a global embarrassment. He will ever be lowering the bar of our legacy in the world and poisoning the collective fates of hundreds of millions of people,” he added.

“Outside of those indoctrinated into his dwindling, sycophantic death cult, the entire world is in agreement on this. What is painfully obvious in these moments isn’t simply that the person alleging to lead this country is a terrible human being; it is that anyone left still defending him, applauding him, justifying him, celebrating him, probably is too,” the former pastor charged.

“At this point, the only reason left to support a man like this is that he reflects your hateful heart, that he shares your contempt of people of color, your hostility toward outsiders, your toxic misogyny, your ignorant bigotry, and your feelings of supremacy. He is a snarling, vicious, grotesque avatar who says the things you believe and hurts the people you want to hurt,” Pavlovitz sneered.

Hypocrisy on display – incitement on tap

What Pavlovitz accuses Trump of are the very things that progressives embody and promote so well. It is what they practice in reality while claiming that the president does it. It makes a mockery of “Thou Shalt Not Lie.”

He’s also not above inciting violence against Trump supporters:

Still supporting him is an act of violence against vulnerable people.
It is an affirmation of white supremacy.
It is a celebration of cruelty.
It is a reiteration of homophobia and transphobia and nationalism and anti-Semitism.
It is a ratification of domestic terrorism.
It is a blessing of bigotry.
It is an embracing of inhumanity.

[…]

The criminality and immorality of this president are so far beyond the pale, so beneath contempt, and so blatantly racist that they should not have a single defender. He should be universally condemned. Humanity should be in agreement in abhorring him.

And yet today (like so many other seemingly rock bottom days in the past decade), there will be millions of professed good people and Christian people, who will make excuses for him or debate his motives or diminish the damage.

They will double down and pump their chests and fly their truck flags.

Feel the contempt he has for Christians who support the president. His hatred for conservatives is palpable and obviously all-consuming.

This man, who pretends to be a voice for God and comes off as nothing less than a false prophet, is one of those who called for people to “cut off” Trump-supporting family members and friends, contending that anyone who voted for Trump is morally repugnant.

Claims of election-rigging

Unsurprisingly, Pavlovitz also claims that the 2024 election was rigged and that Kamala Harris was the rightful winner.

“She won. The Dems didn’t fight for her. It’s a disgrace,” he wrote on Bluesky back in March.

The Left has attempted to hijack and weaponize Christianity against Trump. Those who are actual Christians see through this type of political manipulation and find it disgusting.
