These false Christians would support anyone no matter how terrible if they were promised control of the government and society.
Their support of Moore exposes really who they are. All they want is to control other people's lives they do not approve of. I would not take long for them make being gay illegal and even jailing them.
The problem is that the electorate does not take the threat of their radical ideology seriously enough. They are able to hide behind religion to advance their racist, bigoted and tyrannical agenda. The persecution complex is a way to blunt justified criticism and discrimination against their deadly policies.

(6,021 posts)similar mindsets between RW Christians and those who so willingly embraced Hitler and Stalin. Im sure there were a LOT of similarities. 1984 touches on a lot of related themes, in terms of accepting conflicting truths and presentation of an individual (Goldstein) or groups (Eurasia/Eastasia) to project hate toward. I think Orwell integrated a lot of what the Nazis did into that book.
