prices to reprint brochures or send emails to an already available email list.....it is all modelled after the grifter mega churches, the exact same cult of personality turned into a cash cow, preying on these bleeting sheeple that seek comfort for their religious and Fox News driven fears in being told comfortable lies, they are soothed by symbolic comrades in outrage in a hermetically sealed alternate reality.

In other words, useful idiots.
