who was a very liberal peacenik who cared about feeding the hungry and healing the sick. That's why many liberal Christians like it.

Conservatives like the horrible punishments meted out in the old testament because it helps them justify being awful to others.

The complete opposite of Trump's personality.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. (1 Corinthians 13:4–7 NIV)

A lot has happened in 8 months, but Trump was angered when the Episcopal bishop preached compassion.

and embraced the teachings of 1-800 religious-hucksters,
and a lying, insulting pedo predator who cheats at golf.

Tragic.

Which entitles them to hate their neighbor, neglect the poor & sick, and demonize the stranger.
