What totally confuses me is how any Christian can support the envy/covetousness and theft of the Democrats and other leftists. They elevate government and politicians to status of gods. They say that they will solve everybody’s problems and meet everybody’s needs. They claim to have the ability to control weather. They say trust us and we will create heaven on earth.

I don’t agree with their thinking but I can understand their rationale for supporting Democrats. It is not MORAL but ECONOMIC.
Black Christians ( and I know a lot of them ) support Democrats BECAUSE they believe that their policies are the best way to help the poor and downtrodden.
They want a regular “safety net” (READ: Free) for healthcare, food and housing for the poor and they cite the Old Testament and New Testament commands to help the poor among us as their reasons.
They do not trust personal charity to be the most effective means of achieving it. They prefer a SURE supply of funds for these needs which only the government, with its taxing and printing power can supply.
That’s how I understand those Christians who vote Democrat ( the best proponent of this is Jim Wallis, Founder of the Sojourners Magazine ),
It is the puffed up sin of Pride -- the same sin that makes radical environmentalists feel morally superior to those with larger "carbon footprints.
Yes, how can a God-fearing Christian of any stripe vote for hate mongering, baby killing Sodomites?
