I remember, early on after Escalator Day, when it was thought that he had no chance with the Christian Right. For obvious reasons.It's what they chose..... their free will, I suppose??
A cult of personality, or a cult of the leader,[1] is the result of an effort which is made to create an idealized and heroic image of a leader by a government, often through unquestioning flattery and praise. Historically, it has developed through techniques of mass media, propaganda, the big lie, fake news, spectacle, the arts, patriotism, and government-organized demonstrations and rallies. A cult of personality is similar to apotheosis, except that it is established by modern social engineering techniques, usually by the state or the party in one-party states and dominant-party states. A cult of personality often accompanies the leader of a totalitarian or authoritarian countries. It can also be seen in some monarchies, theocracies, and failed democracies.
Then there was that awkward period in which it was clear he'd stick around in the race, and we saw excuses being made to snuggle up to him. We saw a few of the bigger names in the Christian Right start to cross that bridge. Clumsily.
Now, with the astonishing fusion of QAnon into the movement, they just don't give a shit, and by the way, fuck you.
Very, very, very informative. We're learning a lot right now about their "faith".
