This is the operation of a cult on a massive scale. Imagine Rajneeshpuram or Jonestown at the scale of an entire nation. Nazi Germany was similar.

But think of it this way: Trump is not the proponent of a moral order--he is the accelerant that speeds up the decay of moral disorder into apocalyptic violence and destruction, thereby bringing about God's Final Judgement on America--from which White Evangelicals will be saved.

In this acceleration to the Final Judgement, sinners (feminists, urban Blacks, LGBTQ, Muslims) will be punished, while White Evangelicals will be vindicated as the Righteous, the Chosen.
