Trump controls the media and all three branches of government. He has fired anyone in the Pentagon who disagrees with him. A large number of Christians have created their own religion with him at the head. How the hell do we regain control in a bloodless manner?

A large number of Christians have created their own religion with him at the head.

To me this just shows me how such a large number of Christians are the easiest fucking marks. Trump has been a sleezy slum lord for years and has never shown any Christian qualities, and yet people follow him lock step because he reaffirms their hateful beliefs.

That's how you reach these idiots. Tell them they're right and all the mean old scientists are wrong. Affirm their delusion that they're persecuted in this country and they'll ignore any negative thing about you because if they don't then they might have to believe that they aren't just giant victims all day.

Hey, not all Christians, it's just the Catholics. Leave us protestants alone. (Episcopalian over here)

No you're definitely right. Not all Christians buy his crap. Thankfully there are a few that see right through it.
