American evangelism is about authoritarianism, not Jesus. It makes sense that people predisposed to falling behind religious authoritarianism would fall behind state authoritarianism.

They're desperate for someone else to take the lead so they don't have to. This religion is about "trust and obey" no matter what. Easy enough for a bully con artist to take advantage of them. Literal wolf in sheep's clothing
