Thompson and his fundamentalist bible bangers demand obedience to a god to fix everything.  It is called a Theocracy and ruled the European world for centuries as the Holy Roman Empire.  Why bother with voting, elections, or government.  Just bring the Pope over from the Vatican to rule as he is the proclaimed messenger of god and its trinity.  Let the preachers, ministers, priests, monsignors, bishops, archbishop, cardinals decide all things for everyone.  Escaping the Holy Roman Empire was the one of the first reasons for the revolution.  The fundamentalist brethren of Thompson just voted in a pathological liar, an adulterer, a sexual predator, a business cheat, a non-taxpaying scofflaw, a hedonist, who has committed every sin found in the bibles, Koran, or any religious dogma.  How is it justified?  Because they believe in fairy tales and invisible beings created by other humans without any verifiable factual existence of any of it.  Theocray so preferable to any Democracy.
