    Despot uses religious idiots as base to rise to power, then throws them under the bus once power is secured. Predictable, if the idiots would have studied history. Hard to feel sorry for them .I will spend my time feeling badly for the educated world that has to suffer living with them.

      How many of his supporters would have a minister (or whichever title) saying bad things about him though? Though guess Catholics probably vote Republican for the abortion stance and the Pope hasn’t been kind to ‘the Cheeto’s’ actions. I guess I answered for myself but leaving the comment.

      In the end I imagine it’s fewer than I’d like to hope. Just chisel at the sides of support until you have the fanatics and the rest wonder why their faces were eaten by leopards. Again the bit ‘first they came for the…’. We are all a ‘they’ unless you’re as fanatical as them, no matter how close your ideals may be.
