VERY WORRYING ELECTION TRENDS FOR COUNTRY

The other day I was more bored than usual and decided to hang out in the grand room, I rarely ever visit that opulent place, despite the five star amenities and the ease for single seniors to find soul-mates from the fairer sex. It is the main hall in my senior living facility where most of the denizens are WASP's and many harbor a white supremacist paradigm all their life. They don't see themselves as racist or religious bigots at all.

Politics, religion and now elections are never topics that male residents are shy about and Trump support for radical Christianity and white nationalism has given them cover to normalize their belief in radical Christianity and white nationalism as the prescribed global political force that "God" has chosen to govern the world and rule over lesser humans.

I have given up trying to convince them that Jesus was not God and modern Euro-Christianity is largely a remake of Roman Pagan mythology. Many a time, I had to dodge punches but the warrior in me is never afraid.

But what I am afraid off is what they told me about voting and polls: Whites are telling pollsters what they want to hear but secretly they are going to vote for Trump again and not because they necessarily love his economic policies, but FOR ONE SINGLE ISSUE ONLY.
