EXCERPT:

ALBERTA: “I mean, it’s not coincidental, actually, that we hear Trump more and more deploying that very rhetoric on the campaign trail, talking about how he will protect Christians, how he will protect the church, how Christians will have power with him in office. You know, what began as a transactional relationship, he was going to give them pulses they wanted and they were going to give him their votes, that was it, it’s turned into something else. And I think, even though he’s not one of them, I would argue that in some way, that is his superpower because he is able to fight fire with fire, he is able to sort of cast aside Christian virtue, he’s unbound from the biblical etiquette that they themselves hold dear. He’s willing to fight in ways that no good Christian would. And as crazy as that sounds, I think that that is his greatest appeal to these people."
