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.
