Religion somehow, someway made my two siblings susceptible to IQ45. I still can't quite wrap my mind around why evangelicals support him so strongly. It's bizarre. The religious stuff I can handle. I was raised in it as well and can more than hold my own, but the dripping hatred they exude since joining the Trump camp I really can't handle. Who knows. Maybe they'll awaken from the Trump stupor as well and all we'll have to argue about is religion. I can handle that.
