Easily shifts ground.

6. These are the fake Christians who worship the the tv con preacher men

Total morons who send their money, jewelry to those dirty creeps, watch them live like kings & convinced the cons are doing the "lauuuds" work. Don't confuse them with the rest of the Christian community (like people who mark all Muslims as Taliban.)

7. Remember that 'Jesus Camp' movie years ago

This is those people all grown up...

Brainwashing on brainwashing

8. They follow con men as part of their religious

So following Trump and believing cons was natural for them

9. Can't see why that is surprising, really...

10. It's a short hop from Evangelical Christianity to Q

IMHO
