Whew. This says it all. Whoever you are, you’ve nailed it.[/quote]

People are tribal.  As more an Americans identify less with a religious identity, they replace their tribalism with a political identity.  [/quote]

And what happens when religious identity and positions are intertwined with politicians and policy? ie the Evangelicals [/quote]

What about it? The point is the amount of people with strong religious identity is declining. Secular religion is the new wave.[/quote]

Secular religion? Like worshipping a politician or political party? [/quote]

Not necessarily, though it could be. Fervent, bordering on religiously zealous, adherence to a cause, belief or person.

To take it out of a political context, the increase in celebrity stan culture is an example. BTS Army, Swifties, Sussex Squad, BeyHive etc.[/quote]

Yup.

Trump is a religion for his hardcore MAGA followers. They speak about him as if he's the messiah and a prophet. It's very similar to fervent religious adherents. [/quote]

Religion?  Then we have DEI, Climate Change and Woke.  You can't even see it, can you?[/quote]

These examples are two sides of the same coin. Same thing, but one side blindly idolizes Trump, the other blindly follows DEI/social justice/equity nonsense. Blind belief in these competing ideologies gives them a sense of belonging, direction, and purpose that would have previously been filled by religion.[/quote]

Even average people that couldn't even describe the meaning of DEI know that Trump is a criminal.[/quote]

Yes, average people love sitting through those useless DEI trainings at work...[/quote]

Given the random harassment and attacks of American Jews because of what is happening in the middle east, or because of the right wing indoctrination of SOROS SOROS SOROS and Jewish Space Lasers, it seems clear we still need those trainings.[/quote]
