In a way, Donald Trump is the perfect representative of the Republican Party. Though many of their leaders despise his crudeness, he is the embodiment of what they have stood for over the past fifty years: More for the rich, more power for the rich, tighter control of people’s private lives, less education for the average person, less health care for the average person, and a division of the bottom 90% among cultural/ethnic lines so they’re too busy fighting each other to notice they’re being robbed. As to religion — they have only power and wealth as their religion. Adherence to any particular brand of religion is purely utilitarian and flexible, depending on what will get them the most power and wealth.
