I wonder why...well we know pukes a authoritarians who beat the same drum, whatever drum the Authority gives them...

So, I'm speculating here: I think so many of them being christofascists, they have weekly political instruction and rallying --for jeeezus, of course. Not to mention fellowship lifestyle, hanging together, carpooling to the polls if that's what their pastor tells them.

We don't have large demographics inspiring and supporting activism like that. Independent thinking has its downside.
