I Went to a Pro-Trump Christian Revival. It Completely Changed My Understanding of Jan. 6.
slate.com
A wild evangelical movement is storming swing states.

They’re gathering by the thousands. They’re growing fast. They believe that Democrats are possessed by demons—and that Donald Trump must be president again at any cost.

The reasoning was simple: Each of the Christians assembled would soon feel a call to become a poll watcher or to knock on doors or to organize their church—to take part in some act that would aid the Republican presidential candidate. And that act would keep them safe, the prophet said, because God would not call them home before they had completed the task He had given them.

    No, they aren’t growing. The psychopaths who invested large swaths of their lives in hypocrisy are realizing that they are the minority. They don’t even attend church, which has been dying for decades in the US.

      For a glorious moment (debatable), Trump made them feel like they weren’t alone with their shit thoughts anymore. And if the election in the United States isn’t a landslide against their stupidity then it will never click that they’re the minority.

        I know at least two who’d even take tRump losing in a landslide not as them actually being a minority. Mango Mussolini has put a lot of work into corroding faith in the electoral system such that they can believe that he won just like they can believe that Christ is coming back some day.
