There is a decent amount of fully brainwashed people out there who believe exactly what tiger blood was saying.
Why do you think trump started going after the religious crowd? Because he himself is religious? Or because they were an easy mark?
Trump did what no other mainstream politician has been willing to openly and purposely do, which is to publicly embrace the very worst, most fanatical and intellectually uninspired of the American voter base. Groups of people that formerly had been considered as outliers and had little power in terms of affecting the vote, have now been invited to the MAGA tent, where they can join many other radical, outlandish groups to form a much larger voting block that all of sudden does possess very real voting power.
Add to that the movement -- involving even many more moderate Republicans -- towards the Evangelical desire for Christian Nationalism, and you have a very dangerous recipe; a recipe that is extremely authoritarian and socially regressive in nature.
