The other day I was walking my dogs in the neighborhood and there was a house blasting an unusual and upsetting recording. It was tRump giving a speech which was clearly directed at religious folks. He was ranting about "vanquishing their enemies, including the "radical left." And there was religious music behind the speech, like a chorale singing "Glory Halleluiah," or similar inspirational music. WTF???? It made me nauseous. It was so upsetting that I think I now have PTSD.
I just have to ask, what is wrong with people? WHY do they venerate this monster??? He is clearly working openly to divide us. Seriously, I think I have PTSD.

(22,283 posts)Psychopathology now. He doesn't care if his statements have any relation to reality, only his making a splash, caring nothing for how he hurts people. We are among the most shallow, superficial cultures on this planet. Looks matter. Cars matter. Our souls are withering by starvation. That is why people listen to him. Their priorities are so warped, they can't recognize true values to compare his sham values to.
Also, read the Rolling Stones article someone posted, the end of the American era.

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on.
Glory, glory, Hallelujah! Glory, glory, Hallelujah!
Glory, glory, Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.
I have seen Him in the watch fires of a hundred circling camps
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps
His day is marching on.
Glory, glory, Hallelujah! Glory, glory, Hallelujah!
Glory, glory, Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.

(3,401 posts)which is probably wise because if they continue to fight for him and voice unwavering support for him, then that will accelerate the demise of organized religious institutions, similar to what the NRA is seeing now.
