    Christianity is the religon that the Trump cult members are recruited from

    The religious indoctrination of children prepares them to be unquestioning adults who worship whoever can sound like their pastor.

      The religious indoctrination of children prepares them to be unquestioning adults.

      The children are being indoctrinated by their families and the right-wing media their families consume. They’re being indoctrinated by a school system that’s being gutted and defanged so they can’t help but fail to bite into and digest the hard truths about this nation’s history. This nation didn’t lose to brimstone evangelists and holiday “Christians” joining a hivemind to prop up an Antichrist. It lost to civil servants (and those that pay them) that poisoned their constituents so they could lay claim to lordship.

      I’m going to need to see numbers and polls before I believe Trump’s purported religiousity is what’s pulling even a signficant percentage of his voting bloc. More than his “good business sense”, “straight shootin”, and noted disdain for the rights of minorities.

      And that’s not circling back to any of the other stuff I wrote in my first comment, about the separation of church and state.
