>Because I don't want to just follow God no matter what.
Okay but christians do. Thats it. Thats all there is to it. Doesnt matter what you personally think. Thats why christians follow the political party that wants to enforce christian values.
Can someone explain to me why most Christians in America are loyal to the GOP...

Protestants are conservative because conservatives most closely support the views of Northwestern Europeans, the people who made almost all of modern civilization. Catholics are liberal and always have been. This would be the shitty white people, like the Irish and Italians, the people responsible for the West's decline.
And religion is a meme, for the most part. European Christians have more in common with European atheists than they do with Christian Africans. Most of the shit you think of when you think of Christians is really just white people shit.

When the Mediterranean world contacted those people they were literally at Africa level of development. They are where they are because another culture uplifted them.

religion has no bearing on race
protestantism is only 500 years old

Christian socialists are quite common in other countries, but the problem is not economic.
Anti-Christian groups chose the Democrats decades ago. Usually having to do with abortion, sexual revolution, child drag queens, etc.
As a result the Republicans never HAD to kiss Christian ass. They had nowhere else to go. However as corporate hegemony becomes increasingly antagonistic towards God, this relationship has deteriorated behind closed doors.
Fiscally Yang, socially Christian is a pretty good platform. You see younger gen loans that way pretty hard. A few very young Republicans are headed that way.

This right here. Pete Buttigeig's campaign was as popular as it was (was #1 in the polls for a while) for the same reason.

I dunno man, it doesn't make any sense to me, either. They pair up with the GOP when they double down on a few obscure passages from the old testament and ignore the rest of the fucking bible / the big picture.

This. So well phrased I have nothing to add.

This is sort of true, but it's disingenuous.
1. If you look at the great civilizations throughout history, when they were at their peak, on a map, something will jump out at you. It all began in the Middle East and then slowly radiates outward. Are Middle Easterners somehow superior to Mediterraneans and Indians, who are somehow superior to Europeans and East Asians, especially the English and Japanese? Would you say that? Even though, today, it's arguably the exact opposite? Isn't it more likely that the earlier a civilization became superior to the others is, to some non-insignificant degree, a result of simply human migration?
2. Greece and Rome were great for their time, but this was to a large extent the result of trade. Not a lot happened back then, truth be told, but all of these civilizations on the Mediterranean or even in India and China, could trade whatever unique technology or ideas they had with each other. This trade made all of them seem a lot more advanced than if they had been isolated, which many parts of the world were.
3. In 1000 BC, the least developed European civilization was more developed than the average African or American civilization. In 0 AD, Europe and Asia were pretty much indistinguishable, in terms of their average, least and most developed civilizations. This was before Rome invaded Britain.
4. There's nothing about Northwestern Europe's development that indicates it's thanks to Greco-Romans. If they had the key to enlightenment, why didn't they use it themselves? Why didn't the Arab world use it? Rome conquered Northwestern Europe, built some roads and shared some neat ideas for 400 years, then left, the economy collapsed, Germanic tribes took over, the language became German and Scandinavians and the Danish began cutting the map up into little pieces. 1100 years later, there was a massive technological boom - because of the Romans?
5. So what? The guy who taught Elvis guitar isn't owed royalties.
