Trump is a woo-believing anti-vaxxer who is definitely on the right and doesn’t base his bullshit on religion. You have all sorts of dipshit woo anti-vaxxers on the right. So it looks more like a special kind of stupid that transcends politics.

At any rate this is the religion group, so I think the point of the OP is to draw attention to the segment of this dipshittery that comes from religion.
