Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : There are expectations he will provide an intellectual vision and leadership for Trumpism after Trump.
51% : A Pew Research poll in April this year showed Trump leading Joe Biden by 55 per cent to 43 per cent among Catholics.
50% : Trump has amplified this alt-right Catholicism, interacting with its spokespeople and signing up several of them to the advisory board of Catholics for Trump.
49% : While Deneen articulates this regime change as a spiritual revolution, Vance is more forthright, stating "if I was giving [a second-term president Trump] one piece of advice, fire every single mid-level bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, replace them with our people".
41% : His advisers indicate this is a deliberate strategy to "bypass the bishops" - Trump was irked that he was not receiving the loyalty from mainstream Catholicism he believes he merits.
36% : They support government interventions to secure a nation united around values of faith, family and order.
20% : Fellow right-wing Catholic Steve Bannon is convinced, describing Vance as "the St Paul to Trump's Jesus - the zealous convert who spreads the gospel of Trumpism further than Trump himself".
