much like the Christian Coalition ... self-interested identity politics in churches dressed up as driven by "faith"

As you know all too perfectly well, in the US churches are also social clubs. Nobody is talking "faith in God" here - just "faith in vote".

Though, I must add, for over half a century Mexican opposition was sustained, mainly, by the popular local Catholic belief that God likes free elections.  Not a bad faith to have, I should say.

Having "faith in our votes" isn't something people normally say, it doesn't even make any have any meaning as a phrase.  It's pretty obvious they are trying to play on people's religious loyalites by using that word.

Not if you come from a Mexican context. I mean, President Ruiz Cortinez used to call opposition supporters "los místicos de voto"("the vote mystics" in a direct translation - though, like in English, it also sounds quite similar to "devote mystics"). And he was right: those people believed, pretty much literally, that God loved voting.

If worst comes to worst, he blows up the whole world and we're all dead.

Well, yep. If he comes to power, this is the most likely outcome of the next 4 years.

At least that takes care of the over population lie the left is always going on about.

This seems about right

A key thing to remember is that nuclear war doesn't mean the immediate end of the world: most people will actually survive the initial nuclear strike and live a life of suffering and slowly be killed off by disease as society unravels in which the living will envy the dead:

Oh no not if Trump is elected.  He'll find a way to kill us all.

But not before doing some torturing.

Yep, some of us will be dying a slow death: envying those dying fast.

You finally admitted it which was my point all along.

Admitted what? That most people would not believe that Trump election means nuclear holocaust? I had admitted it before I was aware of your existence. Nobody believing it does not make it not true, though.

And? Dying slightly later is no fun.

I don't know if you're serious but you're fun to post with and I enjoy your company. 

And your company, most certainly, is not at all enjoyable.
