They see him as a 'King Cyrus,' and she traces the leaders' falling into line to support him back to a meeting with 1,000 of them in June 2016. The base were already falling into place by then because they agreed with his anti-immigrant rhetoric - as one Trump follower said, "Walls are Biblical." This was at the same time that Trump was retweeting white nationalists and they were calling him their "God-Emperor..."
One of the things that's resonated so far is something I already knew - Trump never apologizes, he doubles down. And his base absolutely thrives on that. It's been coming together for a while now, the idea that the religious right wants the power to bend the country to their religious beliefs. I didn't realize how strong the drive for that power was, and in Trump they found their strongman.
Looking forward to the coming chapters.
He does double down and it makes it all the more the pathetic, rather than funny. He even tried to claim that he "up-played" the Coronavirus after being on record for deliberately downplaying it...

He doesn't care. He knows he can lie and no one will do anything about it. The press wrings its hands, the GOP pretends it doesn't see, and the base cheers.
Of course he doesn't, he never did. It was only when the numbers went up that he was forced into a state of "non denial" and declaring a national emergency. It's bewildering how anybody can take this clown even remotely seriously, especially after his own admissions of deliberately downplaying the virus and wanting to do so.
:freak:
She's laid out the historical background of the religious right from the 70s to present, and how that led to the evangelical embrace of Trump as "God's strongman." It's about the power.
Of course you want nothing to do with the religious right because they make you feel guilty with their strong anti-abortion stance.
You like to be on the side which does everything in their power to make sure that all women have access to abortions on demand and tax-funded abortions.
:chuckle: I used to be part of the religious right and have friends and family in that category still, so I have plenty to do with the religious right in real life and feeling guilty isn't part of that experience.
I'm "on the side" of whoever can defeat Trump and get him out of office before he does any more damage.

Like the "damage" of presiding over a very low black unemployment rate before the China flu shutdown? Are you a racist?

OMG, I have to get back to the book, I just read her quote of Steve Bannon saying “the alt-right would be nowhere as a political movement without religious conservatives.”
