15. Of course they believe that.

They were told over and over again, and still believe that entire cities were burned to the ground by Black Lives Matter protesters. My father was seriously worried that if Trump won in 2020, Antifa was going to be rampaging in his neighborhood - and he lived in The Villages!

It doesn't help that lots of popular and influential Christian leaders have told their followers that we're in league with Satan and want to destroy Christianity. The IRS doesn't enforce the Johnson Amendment, so preachers had no fear of losing their tax-exempt status for urging their flocks to vote for Trump.
