People will die before they change their religious beliefs. Same is true about their political beliefs which are no longer just about politics. That answers lots of "whys?". A very devout religious person and a very devout political person will never listen to any opposition. If there were a better belief they would be believing it. So whether they worship a Political GOD or a Religious GOD makes no difference. They are obedient and faithful to both GODS. Their religious GOD and their political GOD. I get it. I don't want it but what are ya gonna do?
