The "cult" of Trump isn't really all in. They say shit like, "I'll kill my firstborn for Trump." Or "he can grab my 12 year old daughter anytime".

But they just say shit to blend in and not become a target for all the other liars, scum, Nazis and pedos they hang with. Some are true believers but not as many as you think. The rest may have one or two issues they love in Trump but not enough to suffer severe losses for him.

They just say crap to avoid being outed. I mean it's tough finding a friend circle that will help you out in a pickle. So, to get that support, they say crap to make others think they are true believers.

But hang with them and you'll hear them make snide remarks about Trump and wishy washy support for him. A few have actually confessed to me that they never voted for the pedo.

I live in the middle of the rural Bible belt red Trump country. And it ain't all it's cracked up to be.
