How the trump administration co opts pop culture and religion for political gain?

The Trump administration used pop culture and religion like a fun game to help them win more people over.

Imagine you're playing a big board game with your friends, and you want to be the winner. You might use your favorite toys or characters from your favorite shows to make everyone on your team cheer for you. That's kind of what the Trump administration did, they used celebrities, like actors or singers, and religious leaders, like ministers or priests, to get more people excited about their ideas.

They invited famous people who are liked by many kids and grown-ups to speak at events or post messages online. It was like having a superhero join your team, everyone wanted to be on the same side as that hero!

They also talked a lot about religion, especially Christianity. They visited churches, had religious leaders with them during big speeches, and used holy symbols in their events. It was like saying, "We're all part of this big team, we believe in the same things!"

By using these fun tools from pop culture and religion, they made more people want to be on their side, just like how you'd want to be on your favorite superhero's team!
