As deeply uncomfortable and horrified as it makes me, I think anyone who cares about the current state the USA is in needs to watch this. It’s a Times Radio documentary on American evangelical megachurches and their links to Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, and you won’t be surprised to read that I find it utterly obscene. What such ‘churches’ do in manipulating people, brainwashing them, even extorting a significant amount of their income from them, goes well beyond the comprehension of any rational person. What makes it even worse is that it is overtly political: these people believe with all their hearts that Trump was somehow ordained by ‘god’, and anyone opposing him is an evil demon. While the film does not give us any idea of just how widespread the cult it is depicting has become, leading me to hope that it is a small, fringe group, the fact that such absolute insanity exists at all in America is very, very frightening.
