Religion

...it is what they are used to, the disconcodance, the non-comportment with what they know is good, true and right, they see it as a test, it strengthens their resolve to prove their "faith", mostly to themselves so as to alay their own gnawing inner doubt.

It is the same reason why so many express outward evengical rhetoric and action, even when decency would require a good person to keep their own religious counsel silently to themselves.

I understand.

They doubt, they fear, they act out and grasp at anything no matter how vile to quell the doubt and hide the fear.

They call themselves sheep.

They flock to Trump.
