It isn't wise to take the scriptures out of context to fit a personal political narrative. The Bible is clear that Jesus was speaking to the teachers of the law and the Pharisees. In fact, the chapter of Matthew 23 is about Jesus publicly rebuking the teachers of the law and the Pharisees.

Verse 33 in its proper context is quite different than quoting this one verse from the entire passage: "31 “Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers’ guilt. 33 Serpents, brood of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell? 34 Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city, 35 that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36 Assuredly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation." - Matthew 23:31-36, New King James Version
Yes,the law makers.

Matthew 22:18 KJV
[18] But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?

This verse has nothing to do with unbelievers, least of all the Democrats. Again, Jesus is rebuking the Pharisees who tried to trick Him.

Matthew 22:15-22

15 Then the Pharisees went and plotted how they might entangle Him in His talk. 16 And they sent to Him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are true, and teach the way of God in truth; nor do You care about anyone, for You do not regard the person of men. 17 Tell us, therefore, what do You think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”

18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test Me, you hypocrites? 19 Show Me the tax money.”

So they brought Him a denarius.

20 And He said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?”

21 They said to Him, “Caesar’s.”

And He said to them, “Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” 22 When they had heard these words, they marveled, and left Him and went their way.

How can people not see how bad Biden is as a human being and candidate? Like whoaa

If the moral character and behavior of the President is an important moral issue for evangelical Christians, then why are they supporting Trump?

It's rather disingenuous of them to pompously point a judgmental finger at Biden when they support a morally depraved man like Trump.

It seems like you're going down a rabbit hole because Heart2Soul and I have already addressed this. Heart2Soul said, "We should speak the truth in love without harsh words." I've addressed this several times with scriptures pertaining to taming your tongue and treating others the way you want to be treated. But I'll address the issue one more time by saying it this way... you can't be an obnoxious jerk to someone if you're trying to get them to turn to God. You can speak the truth of God until you're blue in the face, but if you're being a jerk, then you're wasting your time. I don't know anyone who would stick around and listen to a Christian lecture them about morality when the Christian is calling them nasty names.

I'm certainly not going to listen to another Christian preach at me if they're being an obnoxious jerk and calling me disparaging names. You can't call a Democrat a malicious name like baby murderer or a child of Satan if you want to convince them their position on abortion is morally wrong.

I want to be treated with brutal honestly at all times. Yet it may not be wise to do this to others since the tongue is driven by the deceitful heart. You may rebuke wrongly, or curse someone and discourage them. And surely you would be held accountable.

Precisely, this is why I didn’t vote, I’d be aligning myself with a hypocrite either way?

The democratic mindset is, if you are in disagreement which anything I say you ain’t christians.

I understand your sentiment. However, I feel that it is important for us to vote in the presidential election and in other elections. It is our right to vote as American citizens and womens' suffrage has been hard earned. I encourage my fellow Americans to vote and vote their conscience.

Perhaps that is true, but I've been told many times by Christian Trump supporters during the last five years that I'm not a Christian because I politically oppose Trump and I refuse to support him. In fact, it happened to me on this site. I've also been called a traitor and anti-American.

Do you see them both as morally depraved?

Much love!

In all honesty, Trump has done a lot of good for America. Joe Biden presidency would sell you out to China and turn you into a welfare state. I like Trump because he's anti-globalist, among other things.

Let me show you what is going to happen to the USA.

If Trump wins, ..if the election is not stolen... then Americans have 4 more years of existing in what is sort of like the America that use to be...

If Biden wins...... which is the Devil's plan.... here is what will happen next.
Biden will die in the first term, as he's a corpse already. He looks like he could die at any time...he's slightly senile........and Kamala will become President.
This is the Devil's plan.
If this happens, the USA is finished, as she is a devil, and will re-create the USA as a borderless illegal immigrant 3rd world housing development.
If you are an American, and you caused this by casting your vote for Socialism, then that is ON YOU.
You'll get to deal with it, and you will not be able to change what you caused = by casting your vote for the destruction of your country.

Remember what i told you today.

Yeah, Biden will probably commit "suicide". Then comes Amerika?

•Also have Suspect of Joes health condition, due to: past Brain tumors, surgeries, suspectiability of tumors reoccurring, occasions of inoperatibility.

• His blatenly obvious diminished speech ability,
• His blatenly obvious diminished recall ability,
• His blatenly obvious diminished inability to respond coherently, without being told what to say.
• His blatenly obvious diminished cognitive skills.

Agree. A win for Biden, would mean A Presidental seat handed to a Socialist Marxist...And a VP seat handed to Pelosi, herself also a Socialist Marxist.
And the US handed to the UN, already in waiting for Americas Vote For The already Plan, Decided, Tabled Global Plan.

Glory to God, He's got the whole World In His Hands,

Moral character is not a qualification or disqualification for the US Presidency.

Spiritually- I have NO issues with Trumps morality.
Politically- I have NO issues with Trumps morality.

As a human being, A GREAT deal of Americans and People of All Nations Have questionably moral character.

However the MAJORITY of All people are NOT famous...to have Their moral characteristics Discussed and Critized in the Media Headlines.

People favor Trump for Two Basic Things...
His Standing for God "and" Country...
People favor Trump for One Basic Point...
Accomplished Works for Country.

That Simple.

Glory to God,
