Trump wants a strong police presence so that the cops will protect his assets from the have-nots. The cops will gladly do his bidding because they like to oppress people. That's the way it is around the world and you see it in photos everyday in every country. It's a standard trope in Western movies.The same thing could be said about theism. Everybody wants it and that's the way it's been throughout history. Religion is the opium of the people. It been governments' favorite way of keeping the masses in check.

If you would fight against that with your last breath, why, using the same logic, would you lay down and support a president who will openly usher in fascism?

The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
