QAnon

The unholy alliance between Donald Trump and the right-wing evangelical crusaders in America was always a marriage of political convenience. Trump, a profane, serial philandering, greedy, narcissistic, pathological liar, never really liked the religious chumps he suckered into backing him, and they never really liked him either.

The split in America is less about politics than—it is—politics becoming our lives. It is more about party alliances and tribal wars.
