Neoconservative (Nazi) Mind Control was used by Bush
The best past example would be the way the Nazi's converged different social mindset biases into one solid construct. What they did was they turned the Nazi poltical party, German Nationalsm, Race and Religion into one single concept / mindset. That meant, to question something about one level of social group was to question everything. For example, if you questioned the Nazi party itself it meant, in the minds of those who had been indoctrinated / brainwashed, that you were also questioning / attacking the Race and the Religion and the Nation and so on. Of course Hitler, the leader (ruler actually) was the de facto overlord of each, so it's no surprised he basically had people of every social class ready to lick off his boots.
It turns out that George W. Bush did that same exact thing by converging American Nationalism, "Conservatism", and "Christianity" into one single mindset in the physical brains of his followers (memories, thoguht patterns, mindsets, etc are generally physical constructs of neuron networks in the brain). The Race issue could also be argued, but that's completely "implicit" and practically irrelevent in comparison to what the Nazi's did. Anyone who's tried to tell a staunch Religious Right follower -the truth about Dubya- has surely experienced first hand.
God (if there even is such a thing) isnt involved in human politics / affairs.
If it is, then we need to fire its ass as the world is a wreck, it always has been, and we aitn seen nothing yet.

And God wants him to build a wall.
I've read more of the New Testament more than I've wanted to, but I still respect it enough not to bastardized it like that.
Sure it's open to interpretation, but not for gain.
At least try to be honest about it.

Didn't God deport Adam and Eve from his garden and seal up the entrance so they could not cross back in and eat from the tree of life? Hmmm....guess God agrees that walls may be necessary.

What do you call, "The wall is immoral?"

And Jesus washed the feet of prostitutes....
Guess God wants us to go out and start washing some feet.
You can frame anything how you'd like, but any of us that know the book as a whole will spot someone weaponizing a religion to further their agenda.

Interesting walk back from (paraphrased) "God deported Adam and Eve, guess he supports walls".

You really spliced my post. It was a question?
guess God agrees that walls may be necessary.
I also included my take on that event from Genesis. Jesus did not change the Old testament. The one GOD he promotes is the same GOD from Genesis.

I don't know what you're trying to ask to be honest.

"What do you call, "The wall is immoral?"" As in it would be a sin to build the wall.
Or don't you see that as a religious argument?
