conmen who are deliberately trying to scare them so that they will give money, volunteer, and vote so they gain/regain/retain power.

That Trump is anointed. That they are under attack by the Socialist (or Communist) Godless Left. That they will lose their country if they don't fight.

Oh, and those who have a disability or love someone who does, he really does not care about them...he thinks they should just die.
