The senator said he has “a hard time understanding” why Trump’s legal issues don’t “seem to be moving the needle” with more voters.

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) called out the majority of Iowa Republican caucus voters who baselessly believe that President Joe Biden did not win the 2020 election legitimately.

“I think a lot of people in this country are out of touch with reality and will accept anything Donald Trump tells them,” Romney, who announced in September that he is not seeking reelection, told CNN journalist Manu Raju on Wednesday.

About 65% of Iowa caucusgoers said they believe former President Donald Trump’s lie that the 2020 election was “stolen” from him, according to entrance poll data.

      You have Mormons which to some within is like “alright I know this is probably not 100% accurate, but I like the culture” and then you have scientology… which I have yet to have anyone adequately explain, let alone defend… It’s like some sort of money cult that never died and has space demons… idk?

        Scientologys theology is a carelessly thrown together add-on to a self help program that involves what amounts to blackmail. From my take on cults the grounds for belief are less important than the social obligation cult members have to each other. It’s a hierarchy and people will put the bit in their mouth if they simply get to hold the reigns of another.
