“Christians, get out and vote, just this time,” Trump exclaimed to a cheering crowd in West Palm Beach, Fla.
“You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what, it will be fixed, it will be fine, you won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians” he added.
“I love you Christians. I’m a Christian. I love you, get out, you gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again, we’ll have it fixed so good you’re not going to have to vote,” Trump said.
It’s quite something to watch, coming from someone that lives in the UK. Sometimes I look at our political system (especially over recent years) and wonder “wtf are we doing?”, but then I think about the US and am immediately given a reality check. It makes us look normal.
I saw a documentary a while ago about how Trump is meticulously appealing to the Christian voting base - they view him as a heavenly figure and are actually beginning to class non-Trump voters and the Democrats as ‘demons’. He’s beyond a politician in their minds, I don’t think cult of personality quite cuts it any more, this is something different.
I don’t know if it’s something in the water over there or what, but they’ve gotta cut it out now.
You can just say cult. Like the Jonestown, Waco etc. kind. It’s ok, we’re all terrifyingly aware.
