By “the other half” I mean the hard righties of the world, as in the maga cult and their predecessors. The evangelicals have been working for decades. They have tonsof alliances, broadcast stations, etc. and when the right idiot comes along, i.e. Bush Jr or Drumpf, they pounce. Those are the people I’m talking about, who actually think what you and I call evil dictators to them are actually great leaders, etc.
