Thanks, Julie. That's the most succinct explanation I've heard of the otherwise totally baffling phenomenon of pro-Trump Christian zealots. As Mark put it, "both utterly insane and yet completely feasible".
Hillary Clinton's use of the phrase "basket of deplorables" was fully justified - and at the same time a tactical error. Similarly when Trump voters ask if we think they're stupid we can say yes, but a politician probably shouldn't.
