Evangelicals did sell their soul to the false prophet, didn’t they? From Cohen’s book: Trump held a meeting at Trump Tower with prominent evangelical leaders, where they laid their hands on him in prayer. Afterward, Trump said: “Can you believe that bulls--t? Can you believe people believe that bulls--t?”. The cosmic joke was that Trump convinced a vast swathe of working-class white folks in the Midwest that he cared about their well-being, Cohen writes

To be fair, he convinced the prosperity gospel propagandists. They, in turn, convinced their flock.

Not just hard right conservatives. Many overzealous religious groups truly believe that trump is pro life and god sent.

I think even they kinda know Trump doesn't care about their well being.

What they probably know is Trump has the raw megalomania and hateful rhetoric that appeals to a lot of the folk on the hard right. The religious right is an ever smaller group now and absolutely needs a coalition with the hard right lunatics to make an right wing governing party in today's day and age. But herding those crazy sheep might be too hard a pill to swallow openly for the evangelicals.

So theres Trump. just a convenient bridge.

Hi friends! I’m looking for resources to help me be successful in a “Functional Lead” role.

The role is in FinTech
I’m responsible for strategy, comms and key partnerships for a bank product. It reports through Customer Experience but touches product, Ops. marketing. It’s basically a Project Manager role but more nuanced.

Anyone out there in a role like this? Any books. videos or even best practices to share?
