Christian Charismatics have tended to emphasize the priority of feelings over reason. They have now combined this with a commitment to an earthly charismatic leader, in the Weberian sense of leading by personal charisma. The result is that Charismatics have insufficient intellectual equipment to assess Trumpism and no willingness to criticize Trump. He just walks in and takes over. All the God-stuff goes right out the window. Phew! Btw: love the 95 theses joke!
