Yes they are incredibly stupid & many are beyond help, but we need to fracture his base support.

Southerners / rural tRupmers are SUPER sensitive to being perceived as, well, stupid.

If they begin to see him as a northern, urban New York guy who really sees them as stupid, many will sit out the election.

As for churches filling people's heads with bullshit, it just boggles my mind how women, especially, can buy into socio-political control mechanisms referred to as religion, with all of the major ones denegrating women. Didn't understand it as a very young child & it still boggles my mind.
