i’d guess your typical voters are the stupid ones, the politicians are the “satanic” ones.
altho satanic doesn’t really describe it. you’ve got candidates like huckabee, who are socially conservative, christian socialists. or people like my brother in law and my cousin, who are strong christians, but think that gov’t should be a strict totalitarian rule.
I have a great link that repudiates socialism based on biblical values:

It would be interesting to see what your relatives say about this, if they can discuss it rationally.
Let me know how it works out.
The politicians are virtually all “satanic”, but don’t fool yourself. A good many of the “typical voters” are, too. Some really give credence to communism. I’ve heard it spoken by these Joe Schmoes.
