My in-laws are these kind of people. They voted for a lot of politicians, local and federal, because their church told them to because these politicians didn't support abortion. That's all they needed, no other policy or information required. If they questioned it they'd get ostracized from their church circle, so why bother.

If we chatted about these politicians. Typically they were not aware of the deeper topics and would genuinely be disturbed by them, but their responses always went back to, well I just can't vote for X they are pro-abortion and the church doesn't support that.

They need someone to tell them what to do and they cling to these groups because they have never been self sufficient.

Nothing like an imaginary problem/thought exercise used to manipulate voters. Think of the unborn babies! Of course, ignore all the actual living babies. God these people are so fucking stupid.

I was reading last night about the reversal of the EPA ruling on C02. They were using propaganda like the "religion of climate change".

That got my wheels spinning! Wait a minute. If it is a "religion" then don't you have to respect it!?

Truth is that could give a shit about your Magical Sky Daddy beliefs, they only care if it serves their purpose.
