POTUS Shield, a group of prominent evangelicals, gathered to pray for President Trump and it got pretty strange. Witches and warlocks? Is this Harry Potter now? It was definitely interesting when Trump said "I am the storm."

Videos like this prove that Trumpism very much is a religion and provides excellent insight into why Trump supporters are so committed.

Thoughts?

It's a cult. Many of them deeply believe with a passion God made him president and any criticism of him means it's a criticism of God himself. Many of his supporters would die for him. It's straight up ISIS, North Korea, China.

The irony Trump doesn't give a crap about those blue collar people in rural America.

Statism--which includes liberalism, progressivism, conservatism, fascism, socialism, communism, Obamaism, Bernieism, Hillaryism, Trumpism, and all other forms of authoritarianism--is a religion.

None of them promote liberty.

There's something about obedience to blind authority that gives me the tingles. All kneel to the altar of the god president Trump. Amen.

President Obama is lord's anointed sent to help the poor

Sting says Obama ‘sent from God’ to fix ‘mess’

Barack Obama: 'He's been sent by God'

Is Barack Obama the Messiah?

ALL bowing down at the feet of a President is cult-like behavior.

You make a good point here. I think that explains one reason Trump supporters take any criticism of Trump so harshly and so personally. Most people I know could have a rational conversation about Obama and Hillary and could criticize them where they deserved criticism. Not so with Trump supporters. Criticizing Trump in any way might as well be blasphemy and is not tolerated.

Interesting point.

I suppose it is somewhat like a religion in that you're supposed to unquestionably take things on faith, and turn off your rational mind.
