Religious Right Thinks Its Entitled To Have US Theocracy. Will Doing Anything to Get It.

The embracing of Trump and other candidates who are immoral and even criminal reveals that the religious right believes it is completely entitled to have theocracy established in the US even against the will of the majority. They would even commit treason or push revolt or insurrection to get its way.

The radical Christian movement is really the enemy. They are much more dangerous than the terrorists because they are already hear in great numbers. And the churches a the seed bed of rebellion. They support Trump no matter how dangerous he is because he is more likely to advance all of their agenda than even any other GOPPER.

Taking America back or making America great again is really about having a white supremacist Bible based nation with all the laws to enforce religion.

have lost all acceptance of majority rule, which is a cornerstone of democracy, of course.

What they feel is right must be forced on others around them, regardless of realitys.

He is no more interested in religion than he is in raising chickens. It may serve his end to pretend he is, but that man is no more religious than I am.

He may be a useful idiot for the religious right, but I wouldn't count on them being able to bend him to their designs. He has shown himself stubbornly resistant to any kind of principled direction. He's like a balloon when you let the air out of it--flying wildly about the room in a completely haphazard fashion. He couldn't stick to their agenda and might even wind up bankrupting them (we can hope that he might, should the unthinkable happen and he gets elected to office).
