Ruth Ben-Ghiat on Trump's blasphemous bible-peddling scam:
"The more his crimes come to light, the more he must surround himself with a halo of purity. It is one of the oldest authoritarian scams, and a mainstay of personality cults."
But these scams work only because there are large numbers of people willing to be scammed when strongmen promise that they can hurt their enemies.

"They co-opted the symbolism. So one of the most popular images of Hitler, which was a painting that became a postcard — a poster you then saw all over Germany, with him as a crusader knight and bearing the standard of the cross in battle against the heathens."
Heidi Siegmund Cuda adds,
"History is echoing so loudly in this moment it’s deafening. Nelson referred to the recent God Made Trump ad as 'heretical.'”

"Hitler … realized that the majority of Germans were practicing Christians. And he and his propagandist Joseph Goebbels understood that using him as a Christian symbol would be powerful among these people. And whereas, what he was actually doing ran as counter to the teachings of Christ as you can imagine."

"And as political animus toward the LGBTQ community intensifies ahead of the 2024 presidential election, many queer people say their pain is resurfacing."
Weaponized religion kills people. And lots of Christians at this time, especially in the US and especially among Republicans, have weaponized religion to attack the segment of the human community that is LGBTQ.
As millions of their fellow Christians and fellow citizens watch in silence.

"Experts say LGBTQ people — who represent more than 7% of the U.S. population, according to a 2023 Gallup poll — experience religious trauma at disproportionate rates and in unique ways. Very little research has been done in this field, but a 2022 study found that LGBTQ people who experience certain forms of religious trauma are at increased risk for suicidality, substance abuse, homelessness, anxiety and depression."
