    Many Trump supporters would like to consider themselves to be “devoutly religious” (the way the treat others says otherwise, but that’s beside the point). People who are “devoutly religious” have a tendency to take things they are told as gospel (pun definitely intended), regardless of how utterly illogical and detached from reality it may be. If the “right” person comes along, 100% of what is said will be believed 100% of the time. It’s something that RepubliCons have taken advantage of for years, and it’s something that is second nature to con artists like Trump and that Nigerian prince that won’t stop sending me gods damned emails.

      Meh. So long as they say sorry to Magical Sky Mummy every Sunday, they can do whatever they fucking want to. Don’t look to the religious for examples of humanity and decency.
