What the fuck is the context of that picture? Holy shit.
It's an evangelical ritual where they lay hands on someone and pray for them
Having know some evangelicals, it doesn't hold any huge significance. They'll lay hands on someone who has a broken arm to pray to God to heal it, so it's not like this is a huge honor. Still weird, but this isn't a sign of them idolizing him, especially compared to that golden goat statue with Trump's face on $100 bills. The goat is literal blasphemy, but "laying hands" is just how evangelicals normally act...
Neat, that's exactly the kind of information I was looking for. Thanks! ❤️
