Gangs are usually called "gangs" if they are perceived widely to be harmful to the public interest, or if they're members are widely considered to be dangerous. What, then, is Donald Trump if not a gangster, what are his followers and supporters if not gang members, and what exactly is the right wing Trump support evangelical christian community, if not a gang? For membership, one must not disagree, or disagree meaningfully, with the leader. One wears the proper hat, one embraces the accepted viewpoints. The Trump gang is very highly organized, and has a very devoted, but seemingly shrinking membership. What, for tat matter, is the christian religion, or rather than right wing evangelical portion of it, if it isn't a gang?

On the Christian right, only capitalism is permitted. On the secular left, capitalism and socialism both have a home. The American secular left is a diversified hodge podge of religions and political beliefs, while the right is a strictly enforce Christian right wing gang. And that is the difference. The Trump christian right is, quite simply, a gang.
