Americans come from a long line of fearful, foreboding theocrats that probably make up a majority of the population. And that is a problem. they demand that everyone bow down to their particular form of idiotic beliefs and that more so, these beliefs become the law of the land. Trump and the Republican party have worked hard to make sure their wishes come true, and have had only one thing to say: yes.
The probability that Trump himself is even remotely religious is small and if he is, he is at best the cafeteria-style believer if he thinks of it at all. It would seem that Trump and his followers would have to face the actual truth of the matter at some point, but Trump and his cohorts don’t worry about that because they can simply create “alternative-facts” and sell them with a little Jesus juice on the side.
This is all to say that the Republican-Christian-nationalistic machine is in full force. It eats the gullible and pisses out rightwing fanatics with a love of guns, god and greed.
There’s a rumbling in the background and if we put down our phones we can almost hear the chanting.
“Give up critical thinking for Christ!” is the mantra that they yell and that din that is getting louder and louder them on their way to the Whitehouse.
