I watched 60 Minutes tonight. One segment was about the Republicans in Maricopa County, Arizona, Phoenix and surrounding area. It was sobering. The Trump phenomema has little to do with jobs or the economy,; it is almost entirerly a movement based on faith, much like some huge church of Donald. It is totally faith based, impossible to penetrate with reason as any fact they don't want to hear is automatically lies or propaganda. It is sad and dangerous.
It also has the propensity to use the words Crhistianity and pattriotism as synonymous.

It would require trained professional deprogrammers to make a dent in their belief system.


A question: On the 60 minutes presentation, did they something akin to "We interiewed many many Republicams and they all, every one of them, think in the manner that we are showing."?

We know that many Republicans believe, or at least pretend to believe, that Trump won the lection in 2020, that Jan 6 was just a simple tourist event, and so on. But we also know that some people who have long voted Republican will at least not be voting for Trump, and some will be voting for Harris. Perhaps each and every R in Maricopa County county believes that the 2020 election was stolen. Or perhaps many but not all of them do. Did 60 minutes clarify this? Maybe time was too short, they would have needed 65 minites to discuss such details.
