    They don’t care about Trump, he is just a symbol. Trump getting elected legitimizes what Trump represents, and that is hate.

    Success in life means you have God’s (AKA karma/the universe/ect) approval. Becoming the president of the US is the ultimate sign of success and therefore also the ultimate sign of God’s approval.

    Having someone who openly and brazenly hates the same stuff you do get elected president is more than just a sign of approval, it is like a high five from Jesus and all the angels. That means that everything awful that Trump has done or is doing doesn’t turn them off of him, instead it’s just the opposite. His hate filled statements, his ties to Epstein, his obvious desire to fuck his own daughter… he is open and blatant about them, but he is still “winning”. And therefore, all of the awful shit he does, and has done, is something that his followers can attain for themselves.

      and this is why religion has to go. how the fuck this archaic thought process still dominates modern society is beyond me, but i cannot see a way out of this until religion is stomped into the ground by any means necessary. it is literally one of the top three roadblocks to a humane world.
