A third of conservatives think the rapture is nigh. They are helping the antichrist and wars in the middle east so christ comes back, angry jesus, and lays waste to everyone except them, drowning the world in lakes of blood and fire. Bringing them to heaven.
That is just the evangelicals too they have other religious extremists in the mix with crazy ideas, then all the nihlistic business dickheads that would sell poison gas to nazis to make a buck without moral qualm.
Those are their base though, the primary voters. In the general it is a great share of low information voters and people that trust the worst people.
We castigate them trusting the worst people, while ourselves trusting figures from their controlled opposition so if you want to cast blame look inward first, we knew what they were and chose to support doomed to fail strategies, trusting those ivy league suits controlling business and government to know what they were doing to stop republicans and their outright rejection of reality.
