    That is a good sentence. And it's interesting that Trump's biggest sycophants are all evangelical Christianshttps://twitter.com/EdwardGLuce/status/1163421790523351050 …

    "He’s like a heat-seeking missile for Trump’s ass," is the best summary of Pompeo's obsequious relationship with Trump. Read @sbg1's excellent @NewYorker profile: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/08/26/mike-pompeo-the-secretary-of-trump …

        Who believe that a war in the Middle East will bring their salvation. Haven't read the article yet, but this belief makes me nervous.

        It's really just a suicide cult.

        Evangelicals are also frauds so it makes sense they would love the guy.

        How genuine is Pompeo et al.'s evangelicism? To my eyes (brought up in Canada's United Church) it has the flavour of performance.

        It’s tribalism, not nationalism, at the root of Trump’s support. The members of the tribe are white, they embrace some form of Christian fundamentalism, they live primarily in rural areas or towns or smaller cities, they are insular, and they are suspicious of “elites.”

        An "elite" being defined not as someone who's rich and powerful, but as someone who's had shawarma or pad thai at least once during the past 2 months.

        Maybe evangelicals are just looking for big, strong daddies to protect them from the dangerous world. Even pretend ones.

        This is one reason why I felt Breunig’s explanations of evangelical support for Trump are far too generous to evangelicals.
