Can you break down the last sentence for a dumb guy?

Are you saying finding Religion would reform Trump supporters?
I’m saying 1) I find it comforting to believe that Trump will have to stand before God when he dies. No matter what injustice he and his ilk are able to get away with in this life there is final justice at the end. And 2) the only escape from that justice would be some kind of religious experience in this life that would cause them to fully repudiate everything they currently stand for.

If by religious you mean zealous adherents to a cult, ok. But nothing I’ve seen said or done by the Trumpism crowd bears even a passing resemblance to orthodox Christianity.

Thank you for explaining.

It's a nice thought there could be justice in this world but from my point of view that's very unlikely.

I find it comforting to believe that Trump will disappear from this world like everyone else, and then we'll pry his name off of everything that he thought was going to be his legacy.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Calling someone a free spirit doesn't mean I believe in souls.
