the only effective way of ruling others is by force and fear of force, until habit and submissive culture are established. religion has been the tool of that second phase, and is some use in the first: 'gott mit uns' was popular among the germans in the first world war. arabs put it to good use, 'allahu akbar! carried them [ and many collaborators ] from spain to kazakhstan. but when a dim-witted sociopath with delusions of adequacy picks up a bible, he was certainly coached, and is being used by various people who like being near the top of usa society, and will stay there by any means possible. trump with a bible in hand was most likely to induce widespread laughter, but it was worth the risk to remind the riders of religion that trump was on their side. in any event, watching usa history unfold is a ceaseless wonder- so many ineffectual people are driving the nation into poverty that a man in uniform on a white horse must surely be putting his foot in the stirrup. who will it be?
