Is this the same “god” that demands rich people give all their wealth the poor and needy, and that their followers do everything in their power to provide for the needs and well-being of others?

I think you’re confused it’s the god that wants poor people to give everything they have to the rich people.
I forgot. They worship Ayn Rand and Supply-Side Jesus, don’t they?
I think these days Ayn Rand is too far left and Jesus is a useless hippie long hair communist.
"godless" isn't a negative in every person's eyes.
“Godless” says the unrepentant walking embodiment of all seven deadly sins.
They can't just call anyone they don't like a communist
The GOP has been doing that since the 50s and it has worked. Why should they stop now.
The US has been doing that longer than you've been alive.
They sure can, and sadly the red scare made it so just uttering the word "communist" acts like a sleeper agent wake word
If only they actually were
Speaking as a godless communist: 😂
Theres really very little difference between the policy aims of republicans and DNC centrists. They should really get along like peas and carrots.
Man I wish Democrats were as cool as Trump makes them sound
I wish democrats were actually godless communist.
Guy who rapes and bombs kids calls someone godless.
Average American Christian tbh
We're finally starting to get the left we deserve instead of the one pulled center by an opposition giving cover to rapists, pedophiles, spousal abusers and murderers.
In a country where a huge amount of people thought Biden was a communist a party like that might go over like a lead balloon.
Not if they successfully rebrand communism. People that are triggered by that word don't have any clue it's definition
They’ve been poisoning that well longer than America has been around.
Well, fuck. I can't argue that. Still, though, I applaud those still putting up a fight
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah but now Americans are actually directly being affected by the fascist idiots that ripped the mask off early.
At this point a decent number of them are starting to wonder if the opposite side won't be as bad. And that's all that's necessary to start righting the ship, if people are actually willing to step up and not just let the same octogenarian power brokers keep running everything.
We went from Trump being elected a second time, to a dozen Democratic Socialists being elected and districts flipping 30+ points in just 2 years.
Eventually people start to wonder why the rain is yellow and tastes like piss.
The right has always called anything that went against their agenda communism. The word is meaningless by their context. We can’t change how they distort the truth. It’s their only game plan. We can only show them that what we’re doing helps the most people regardless of how they mischaracterize it. People are sick of platitudes they want to see results.
Sounds a lot better to me than 'christian capitalists' .
Christian capitalists? You mean the people who worship the antichrist pedo-fuhrer, who is the embodiment of the seven deadly sins?

Any god that favors Trump, is a shitty one that only deserves rejection.
Let's see he's got Nurgle, Tzeentch, khorne, slaanesh. So yeah
Mostly Nurgle and Slannesh. Those fucking Mar-A-Lago faces and hollow Ozempic eyes are Druchii as fuck.
I live in a country that was occupied by the Soviet Russia, yet people here don’t talk as much about communists as Americans. This obsession is fascinating.
Reporters need to start asking him his favourite Bible verse since he's so devout
We can't all be as godly as a 4 time divorced, cheating, criminal child rapist 😢
Jesus fucking christ, talk about a throwback. Now they are doing 1950's style Red Scare bullshit?
The Don's worldview never advanced past the 50s it seems
It still works, so yes.
Its a distraction from Epstein and people screaming at him that he's a pedophile.
Sideshow, or rather symptom of the wider problem of wealth disparity, a pay to play legal and political system, and the Victorian class system returning as Thomas Picketty predicted.

Well, I happen to like the godless communist ones. I'm cool with the godded communists, too, tbh.
Honestly even at face value a "godless communist" sounds pretty great right now.
I acknowledge that communism is not without its problems, but the US can afford to head in that direction for a few years.

Remember that time he called mamdani and evil communist terrorist Muslim jihadist and the worst thing that can happen to New York. Then he won, met Trump and then Trump said he’ll be great for New York and is a nice guy.
Almost like the guy has no actual morals or ideals or anything really. And is in fact just evil himself.
“They will close your churches in this country. They go communist, and they’re trying to. They will kill your people, and that’s what they’re about. They want to end religion,” he said.
Nothing scares Americans like the threat of the godless, freedom hating communists coming to burn down your church and kill your family. It's effective. They wouldn't keep doing it if it didn't work.
AFAICT, it's the xtians that are closing down churches, due to lack of interest.
The nones are ~30%. Adherents to xtianity are way down. It's simple numbers not really any Grand Liberal Conspiracy, FFS.

Funny how the right always associates Christians with capitalism. Capitalism being a system that relies on hurting and exploiting one group to enrich another. Literally what their greatest teacher Christ preached against. While Communism - a system that puts emphasis on taking care of all people over personal wealth/power is always spoke of as godless.

Says the godless adulterer criminal pedophile thief warmonger-in-chief. At least the godless communists care more about the people of this country than what they can squeeze out of the people of this country .
McCarthyism, so hot right now!
"JD" "Vance" is trying to bring back Nixon, too. The conservatives are nothing if not big fans of the goldie oldies.
Hey, that's me!
Wasn't Iran the greatest threat to the US since its founding? Or fentanyl? Or immigrants from Mexico? Or trans women in sports? Or paper straws?

It’s an existential threat to him, oligarchy and the billionaire class.
Bring it the fuxk on
Man I wish more politicians were godless. As it stands, atheists and "nones" are still grossly under represented at all levels, even relative to the number that exist in the county.
Average citizens won't necessarily call themselves atheist, but even if you include agnostics and "nones" and other unaffiliated people, it's somewhere around 30%. In Congress, it's four people (which is better than last Congress when it was just mother fucking Kristen Sinema.). It's worse than pretty much every other religious categorization.
Here's an article on it: https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2025/01/02/faith-on-the-hill-2025/
Letting the government do anything good for you and your community, is the Republicans' definition of communism and socialism. According to Republicans in Congress and the Trump admin and the Supreme Court, the role of the federal government is to subsidize billionaires and trillionaires, undertake vanity DC projects that are utter failures, start pointless wars they can't finish, make everything unaffordable, tax Americans through tariffs, pardon criminals only in exchange for ~~bribes~~ gratuities, and send goon squads to harass immigrants and dissenters.
Under these terms, who wouldn't want communism and socialism?
