4. I agree fundamentalism is the issue but I don't think they're forcing their followers to support him.

I occasionally watch a local Southern Baptist preacher rant and rave at his flock on Sunday morning (his program comes on after Face the Nation) and these people are completely brainwashed. They need someone to tell them what to think and believe and he's more than willing to fill their heads full of lies and intolerance about minorities, lgbt people and non-Christians. I can totally see why Jimmy Carter told the Southern Baptists to get bent years ago (believe it or not they still hate him). Although I have noticed that there are very few young people who attend so that's a good sign.
