When Trump was running for president, I watched him court the Religious Right by appearing on their shows in interviews. Trump would say things like, "I read the Bible more than anybody," but when asked what his favorite passage was, said, "the New Testament." I'm a teacher and looked up from my grading and thought "you didn't read the book, did you?" I mean, come on, if you have to quote a verse, John 3:16. When asked if he asked God for forgiveness said no, because he hasn't done anything wrong.
Clinton appeared on a radio show or podcast with two black men and one black woman. The woman asked "what is something that you always keep in your purse?" Hillary said, "hot sauce" and you can see the black girl fall out laughing at here, aware of how pandering she sounded. The African American community were already at odds with her quotes of the past about super predators and bring them to heel. The protests would have been a great time for discussion and healing, but Clinton chose to simply quiet the voice.
I assumed that the Religious Right were kind of making a deal with the devil if we vote for Trump, he will put conservative Supreme Court justices to help illegalize abortion, etc.
But a Canadian talk show host would go to rallies, ask people what they thought of ghe "Grab her by the" comment. One woman said, "Didn't happen," When told it was on tape - fake news
While I don't expect anyone to be perfect, he was notorious for his racist comments towards most communities of color, was an expert in creating fear of some other, being divisive, all the while QAnon was claiming he was going to destroy a secret cabal and free us all as well as arrest people in human traficking rings kind of like Indiana Jones and Short Round, to the point that anything questionable he said or did was ignored and it bordered on worship like a cult leader.
What was the draw, exactly? He seemed to be running for president for his own gain and ego, but because people followed him so blindly, I understood what happens when the anti-Christ appears. Despite a number of red flags, all that needs to be done is to create z common enemy, say what you want to hear, and dangle a carrot from a stick.
And because this is how so many opposing him saw him, using critical thinking, many of us were left confused about how he had so much power over others.
