8/24 Crazy Evangelical thinks Trump was 'raised up by God'.

How can people legitimately watch this garbage with a straight face? Honestly, watching the audience's reactions, faces, and clapping reminds me of a cult. It looks like a Scientology cultic meeting. These crazy fundamentalists think that God places people in positions of authority. They like to use the excuse of 'God's will' to justify anything really. It's sad. Yet, when Obama was in charge, they had a different tune. Did God not put Obama in a position of authority? Should he not have been considered to be chosen by God to rule? No. Of course not. Because Obama wasn't a nut job evangelical and didn't fit their ideology. So they flip flop on their views to fit their ideology. Trump has an (R) next to his name so he "has a right to rule." And this logic is so stupid. So, then Hitler was placed in power by the hand of God? Stalin? Kim Jong Un? What a great God to put them in power. But I guess they're justified because God put them in a position of authority. These people don't think. They don't critically think. They don't analyze or stay true to their ideals. But, I guess that happens when your whole belief system is based off of blind faith and book written 2000 years ago about a magical Jewish zombie carpenter.

    Not a cult. Not even really about religion. Right-wing authoritarian leaders...and their followers. https://theauthoritarians.org/donald-trump-and-authoritarian-followers/#more-21 This book is well worth your time to read. Its written by a retired professor who spent his career researching what you are asking about, and has written/helped write several books on the matter. It is helpful in explaining the last 20 years of our national politics, and why things are happening the way they are. What we are seeing is what happens when right-wing authoritarian leaders and followers mix....and with our current President what happens when authoritarian followers unite behind a narcissistic leader who toxically feeds upon that loyalty and adjulation.
