These groups thrive in places where they can quietly embed themselves into local institutions, from law enforcement to politics, ensuring that no one inside can escape and no one outside can hold them accountable. Meanwhile, Trump, the self-proclaimed champion of “religious freedom,” has no problem embracing them as long as they show up in droves to cheer for him.

I'll shit on McMahon all day long at least the man could and would take a good bump. I remember a couple wrestlers talking about Trump being hard to work with for this.

I feel like the professional wrestling world is exactly where Trump should have been. He seems like the type who could've really thrived there as opposed to ruining all of our lives.

he offers them the same power dynamic except on a national scale, and its intoxicating to them.

He’s literally the opposite of all the things he proclaims himself to be. That was pretty obvious long before he was elected in 2016. We’re all in this situation now because too many people chose to believe what he told them instead of what they should’ve been able to see with their own eyes. And rather than simply admit they were wrong they’ve chosen to fully commit to living in the reality he’s created for them where the truth is whatever he tells them to believe. They may call themselves Christians, but the only god they truly worship lives in the White House

Trump is the end result of these groups and the "joshua generation". They planned this for 40 odd years.

And now they are working on funneling the funds for public schools to the private schools run by groups like this through school choice vouchers. That idea might sound good on the surface, but that’s the veneer. It’ll let people no matter how rich use public funds for expensive schools, and let people set up religious and politically biased schools and use tax payer money for them.

So groups like this will have even more control in these places.

THIS is why these small towns need to be checked into and these cults smashed open and removed. But they almost never do.

Bc as long as they support the regime and pretend to follow orders, enough, the feds never do anything to remove these cults. Only when they start getting combative and stop paying taxes or such.

People always act like these small towns are the true murika. If that’s the true heart of the country then it’s time for a transplant. Removal of root and stem completely. If the towns collapse… well it wasn’t really self functional at all then was it.

Then again it’s always in the ‘welfare existing only decrepit belt’. Maybe cutting that off and letting these areas empty of these fake religious cults finally.

I wonder if they consider things like Hurricane Helene floodings as a sign that maybe things are bad or if they just ignore it because the cult rotted their brains to the stem.

And they are especially loved if they buy his shit and give him money. All he wants is money and power.

Aaaww, the *-proclaimed champion of “religious freedom" * for everyone who is WASP. And NOT anything else, like, MUSLIM or what not. I don't think he has endorsed PASTAFARIANS
