People found all of the memes of Trump with Jesus standing over him, hand on his shoulder (and similar) funny, if maybe a little weird.
But, it wasn't funny or silly. At all. It was a deliberate slow-burn propaganda campaign ... to lead to this very thing. Hell, he had hundreds of thousands of fake accts amplifying those memes. For a reason.
It's horrendous how much we keep underestimating his few abilities--and propaganda is absolutely one of his strong suits.
