29. I think it's a mistake to group them all into one type

Yes I completely agree there are many that are not afraid of him and wanted to do these things forever. There are also a group that while they might not like a lot of what he does they are fine with it because certain things he's done, generally I think this group is centered around the evangelicals, Johnson is a perfect example. He's not afraid of him and a lot of what he does Johnson probably bugs him but he turns a blind eye because he thinks this is all God's plan. Then there is the group that is afraid of him, they don't like most of what's going on but they are too deep now and see no way out so they just go along with it.

This is why it's so important that we see people like MTG jumping ship. I don't care if she's being genuine in her reasons or not, it's a sign that even the ones deep in have realized that the end is coming. They know the first ones out survive, that doesn't mean the end is super close but it's on the horizon.
