Donald Trump faces four indictments, 91 criminal charges and hundreds of years of maximum prison time combined.
This is a former president who — according to the latest grand jury indictment in Fulton County, Georgia — participated in a “criminal enterprise.” Trump and 18 co-defendants are accused of trying “to unlawfully change the outcome of the election” in 2020. Among the 13 felony charges he faces is one count of violating the Georgia RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) Act and two counts of conspiracy to commit forgery.
Most of those charges are related to a fake elector scheme by the Trump campaign in which a slate of “alternate” electors in Georgia would cast electoral votes for Trump instead of Joe Biden. The president of the most powerful democracy in the world allegedly tried to steal an election.
We can’t say it often enough: This is serious. Americans cannot shrug this off or normalize it, no matter how many times Trump gets indicted. Yet it feels like business as usual. Not only is Trump favored to win the GOP presidential nomination, he’s also neck and neck with President Biden in the 2024 general election, according to a July poll by the New York Times/Siena Poll.
MORE THAN A CULT
Trump’s support cannot only be explained as the product of the cult-like power he has over his MAGA base, which accounts for roughly 40% of Republican voters who believe those indictments are nothing but a conspiracy against him.

Personal Opinion:
The USA is one of the countries where religion intersects very strongly with politics. His diehard supporters have elevated their support to a level of worship.
Anything he says is true and correct because He said it.
Anything he does is right and proper because He can do no wrong.
I grew up around Republican evangelicals.
I’m a little bit with the dude with the blog post who said that the evangelical Christians should have recognised Trump as obviously the Antichrist. Mr. Trump is practically a physical incarnation of all Seven Deadly Sins. And he’s got seven towers, speaks blasphemy, consorts with foreign sex workers, promises greatness, …

Dude literally lived at 666 park avenue. Christians are stupid
Edit: 5th avenue, thanks blankets

Oh yea my bad
😮I looked this up! It was Fifth ave, but your point still stands. That’s so overt!
But I believe his cultists think they are the seven Trumpets in Revelation.
His cultists are trumpets all right
No links needed. Everyone not in a cult sees all of that plain as day. You don’t even need to be religious to see it.

Objectivist Republicans have so coopted religion, using owned media to gaslight and brainwash an evolved Southern Strategy, so as to create a blind cult following.
It is a coup 20-40 years in the making.
