New Research Suggests That Belief in Demons May Help Explain Christian Support of Trump

…that Trump’s enemies are possessed by demons, while the Trump campaign has promoted the idea of “prayer warriors” fighting the forces of Satan. Not surprisingly, many Christian leaders promised that the January 6 insurrection would be a reckoning with the “demonic influence” that “stole” the election of 2020, and there’s strong evidence that “figures within the Trump White House were strategizing with” the prayer warriors of the New Apostolic Refo…

Maybe after a man with a long gun killed 49 people in a queer club in Orlando, Florida six years ago. Maybe Congress could have acted then to make it more difficult to buy a weapon that can easily kill so many people. But they didn’t. And now five more people are dead and twenty-five more injured.
