So, what's sucking them in?

nativism, white nationalism and pro-authoritarianism, evidenced by strong admiration for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"For many of them, Putin becomes this sort of king-like figure in their narratives," she said. "They see themselves as oppressed by democracy because democracy is really diversity. And they look to Putin because democracy isn't really, as we see right now, an option [in Russia]."

Unchecked, these adherents could fundamentally alter the faith tradition in the United States. They also warn that these individuals are evangelizing hate in the name of Orthodoxy in ways that could attract more who share those views.

The REAL truth is....both of the forum idiots are OWNED.
-BOTH of them have no clue who their owner is.
-They are both card carrying narcissists.
^These are PROVED facts.

The American Evangelical is big on the false idol worship, so this is perfectly fitting. Hell, the white power church is taking hold here too.

I was right.

It makes sense.
Religious fundamentalists prefer autocratic rule and despise democracy and diversity.
They need a "strong leader"

"One of the reasons why propaganda tries to get you to hate government is because it's the one existing institution in which people can participate to some extent and constrain tyrannical unaccountable power." Noam Chomsky.

This is exactly what I am against. Saw it coming back in the 80's and then really pick up steam since the onset of the 00's. Nobody will force their shit down my throat. I dare anyone to try.

Freedom with their exception...
