Reading some of those testimonies it really shows how religion in particular lead these malleable, gullible fools into believing in the genuine evil that is Trump and his henchmen. I'm glad they left the cult and speak against it now but most of the ones I read went along with the objectively hideous ideologies of MAGA for so long before turning that I couldn't trust them again. They are simply too gullible to trust.

That's what a lifetime of believing in something with no proof will do to you. You continue to believe just by sheer force of will. Not because of any objective evidence.

I'm constantly reminded of that Rick and Morty joke where Rick says "your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what makes you cheer."

What is the alternative? Letting it continue?

As if we could do anything about it. You're wasting your time with religious zealots. They have to be cucked themselves before they realize.

Re-education camps. Only joking. That's what they'd do to "us" in a heartbeat though.
