      It really makes no sense. How can a party that directly and loudly acts against a people - be supported by those people. Nuts.

        Unfortunately, it appears the threshold for “no one of my race will ever trust you people again” is approximately 400 years of constant slavery, brutality, and slaughter. Less than that, and you get a lot of “surely things are exaggerated” and “they won’t hurt me, I’m one of the good ones”.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    By contrast, levels of acceptance for Christian nationalism were significantly lower among other religious groups: 75% of Hispanic Catholics and 92% of American Jews don’t identify with these ideas.

    The survey found that among whites and Hispanics, but not among Black Americans, “holding Christian nationalist beliefs is strongly correlated with Republican Party identity and support for Trump.”

    Félix Córdova, who is Mexican, has been attending the H20 church where he feels “the presence of God.” He hopes to be able to participate in the November election after passing his citizenship exam.

    The Protestant reverend, who was born in Puerto Rico, said that the ideology’s undercurrent of racism and patriarchy can facilitate a marginalization of vulnerable groups or minorities, including immigrants.

    In their book “Taking Back America for God,” which delves into how this ideology is increasingly trying to win over conservative Latinos, Andrew Whitehead and Samuel L. Perry argue this is a line of thought that prevails among the followers of Trump.

    Ron DeSantis’ proposals, especially those aimed at restricting the discussion of gender identity and sexual orientation with younger children in public schools, but became disenchanted with the presidential hopeful when he displayed an anti-immigrant position.
