I’ve never understood how the ‘religious right’ hypocrites can stomach the LYING, morally bankrupt, criminal conman, who brags about grabbing pussy, incited an Insurrection, stole Top Secret documents and tried to overturn an election, based on lies.

 

It’s a fascinating correlation, between religion and politics. 

I find it interesting how religious congregants taught to fully submit to the mysterious will of a single authority, according to an infallible Word, are so susceptible to the self-serving proclamations of a charismatic sociopath.

I’m not so sure it’s ignorance, or even willful ignorance. Whichever it is, those who would benefit from it have effectively cultivated, shaped, and exploited that ignorance for their own gain. 

Indeed, we might better call it an unwitting ignorance, an unwitting suffocation of one’s own brain cells with rightwing television and social media, while living inside a fact-resistant bubble.

And just like religion, they hang on to it for dear life. They belong to what is good and righteous. They’re never wrong about their beliefs or their faith in their deity— in this case, Trump. Those who disagree are evil and must be banished. 

Let us hope, for the good of our country and democracy, that we don’t see a resurrection of Donald Trump come November, voted in by the uninformed, misinformed minions who get their ‘news’ from a Republican propaganda outlet.
