    In the same way a butterfly devours the caterpillar in the chrysalis.

    If you find this interesting, I strongly commend to you a book called “Jesus and John Wayne” by Kristen Du Mez

    She explains and provide receipts on how the evangelical movement in the United States evolved, and was looking for a Trump before Trump showed up.

      That looks pretty interesting. I have a general idea of what’s happened since the 80s but I’m curious what she has to say about the decades prior.

    Evangelicals came into existence to defend segregation. Maga is just the new branding, they have always held those beliefs.

    It’s almost like stupid people can be led to anything if you just activate their fear and hatred.

    From They Thought They Were Free, The Germans 1933-45:

    But by and by the [Nazi] Party’s own spirit began by itself to fill up the emptiness of spirit in people’s lives. This was where the Church had failed. And people began to turn from the Church, which in spirit they had already left, to the Party. The Church blamed the Party for this, but in the beginning it was not the Party’s fault at all. The Church created this vacuum, and the Party, in the end, took advantage of it.

    [They] wanted Germany purified. They wanted it purified of the politicians, of all the politicians. They wanted a representative leader in place of unrepresentative representatives. And Hitler, the pure man, the antipolitician, was the man, untainted by “politics,” which was only a cloak for corruption.
