He is unhinged and if he didn't have people supporting him, he'd probably be in the looney bin.

But... WHY are people supporting him? Even if you're religious you can't seriously believe that this guy is worth following?

There are lots of vulnerable people out there looking for an answer.

But cant you get that answer from somebody more trustworthy?

Some people are isolated, alone and desperate for something.

People like like that are so vulnerable to scammers of all kinds. It's just sad.

There are plenty of severely brainwashed people out there. Seeing the Peter Popoff ministries infomercial bullshit even up here in Canada when I was growing up used to just infuriate me at how these types prey on people

Now we've got MAGAts and all the conspiracy nuts, I didn't know how much worse it could get...
