While many are dissecting the 2024 USA GOP victories in the Executive and Legislative branches through a variety of lenses, one that clearly needs greater attention is the dynamic of contrasting narratives that had captured both Trump's supporters as well as his fierce opponents. Jason Blakely, in his seminal book Lost In Ideology, provides a set of analytical tools that help us understand, and perhaps better resolve, some of the inherent contradictions and incoherencies among voters across the political and religious spectrum. Using Blakely's central thesis this paper will focus on analyzing the major claims used to support or oppose Trump's candidacy to illustrate how ideology can function in religious-based political discourse.
