[QUOTE="Larniavc, post: 77622441, member: 378863"] I think it more the fig leaf (that) tyrants can drape themselves with to hide their shameful activities. That is to say that tyrants will often glom onto something that they know a sub section of society dislikes e.g. non whites, gays, immigrants, atheists etc and use that to get that sub section to 'hold their nose' and support the tyrants. So we see Mr Putin becomes rabidly anti gay because he knows many people will overlook his abhorrent actions if they can persecute (in this example) the gaywise. And we see Mr Trump shilling Bibles because many Christians will likewise 'hold their nose' and vote for him. We also see him claiming to be devout but unable to name a Bible verse her favours. So we see the fig leaf of the tyrant is what they hide behind and use as a shield for their shame. [/QUOTE]
