The question is obvious. Why are so many Republican donors and MAGA folks not receptive to the mountains of damning evidence against Trump? It can only be two things: One, unbelievable ignorance and mental instability, or a real reason that is right before our eyes, but we choose not to see it. I'm no genius analyst on this issue, but I would place my bet, of what I could afford to lose, that the evil snake of religion is driving it all. A white Christian theocracy is the admitted mountain top for the entire MAGA crowd and the leadership of the far right religious community. They have written, in the clearest language, that this is the most important achievement bar none. They are willing to do ANYTHING possible to take advantage of what they perceive to be possibly a last ditch opportunity to save America and humanity by making us all bow down to their God. And when they actually, crazily, believe that a lying, treasonous, criminal was sent by God to lead them to their wildest fantasy, nothing else matters more than getting Trump elected. He is seen as the lynchpin to all their dreams. Trump must win.

Now consider what we know about Republicans in office, State and Federal. Is there a one of them, just one, that isn't an over-the-cliff religious fanatic? The Georgia Supreme Court are religious wackos, ands State governments across the country put in place insane laws straight out of their bible study class syllabus. Our Federal House is rank with religious zealots, and the worst of them are causing all the problems. The Senate isn't far behind. And then our exalted Supreme Court, driven by religious dogma, and a messianic duty to drive the bus of religious lunacy straight into every home, every school, every library, every place where they tell us the devil lurks to take America to a secular hell. Isn't that enough evidence? America is caught in a giant religious frenzy of zombies for God. And they'll give their last nickel if they think it will instate theocracy in America.

They should change the name from Republican National Committee to the Pay Trump's Lawyers Fund.

“MAGA are basically Trump nerds.”

That statement sums the situation up beautifully. It’s just like the gatherings of sci-fi nerds who love cosplay and conventions bringing together other sci-fi nerds, dressed up in Chewbacca costumes (Star Wars nerds) and Mr Spock uniforms with false Vulcan ears (Star Trek nerds). Trump rallies bring out traveling MAGA nerds who attend rally after rally, sporting their red MAGA caps and MAGA t shirts. Publicly worshiping the Trump menace is part of their religion, along with victimhood, racism, christian nationalism and hatred of everyone not both white and christian.
