The other day, during an address to a Turning Point conference, Trump implored,Christians, get out to vote. Right wing trolls pushed the same horseshit claims of low turnout (again, we’re talking about the in-person and TV audience for a Turning Point conference!) Turning Point was also allegedly used to launder speaking fees to Don Jr and his girlfriend. To the extent that Trump needs lots of bodies to be somewhere, Charlie Kirk is a key part of that process. The point is, Trump’s audience of Christian nationalists do view taking over government in apocalyptic terms.
