Authoritarian followers [View all]
I used to believe that with religious people, Jesus and the teachings of patience, tolerance, compassion, love, humility and understanding were paramount.
This election proved me wrong.
A true follower would not support someone who mocks the disabled, etc., etc., ad infinitum.
So it has become painfully clear these people are authoritarian followers first, followers of the teachings of Christ somewhere else down the line.
Every trump supporter I know is highly religious. So by definition you cannot reach them with logic.
Rest assured now that they have the reins of power, they will try to implement an authoritarian Christian theocracy at the state and federal level.
This is not a disagreement over conservative versus progressive ideologies... It is highly religious, very scared authoritarian followers (read Altemeyer: The Authoritarians) trying to impose their values on the rest of humanity.
