Trump's religious campaign

I was in a car I wasn't familiar with today, and turned on the radio.
I switched stations a couple of times and ended up hearing Trump's voice (AM radio).
It was a Christian radio station, and he was thanking the station for it's honesty and truth.

The announcer was thanking him back.

I've been noticing Trump attacking Biden for his religion.
Trump lied and said the Democratic Party removed "god" from the pledge of allegiance.
There were other things, too, that I can't recall right now.

But just now (after I got back from driving and hearing his lying voice on the radio), I noticed religious protest posts (saying things like protect our children) all over FB.

It's so unbelievable that these religious idiots think of Trump as anything but a slimy, lying, immoral, hate-filled piece of crap dying at the bottom of the ocean.

Anyway, he's going to rein in the religious right—and probably other "Christians," as well.

QAnon groups make up only 18 percent of those posting about #SaveOurChildren. But they accounted for nearly 70 percent of the total interactions on the hashtag in August, according to First Draft. On Instagram, QAnon-related accounts posting about #SaveOurChildren accounted for 75 percent of the interactions. Most of the top hashtags from #SaveOurChildren posts in August are QAnon-specific.

"The data suggests that a relatively small number of QAnon-related Facebook groups and Instagram accounts were able to amplify and co-opt #SaveOurChildren and its related language by creating a large and unprecedented flurry of posts and activity around the hashtag,” said Rory Smith, the research manager at First Draft who wrote the analysis.

Before QAnon adherents took over the #SaveTheChildren hashtag, QAnon followers invented the conspiracy theory that the furniture site Wayfair was trafficking missing children in overpriced shelves and pillows last month.
