"The idea that we can create paradise by increasing the killing is a very popular notion here in the rather backward and underdeveloped country of the United States. I mean 'backward and underdeveloped' in a moral sense. In an economic sense, the country holds vast wealth…."

"Trump, who has been directly mirroring German Nazis in his rhetoric and tactics, may very well win a national election by running on nothing but a promise of retributive bigoted mass killing, and I must conclude that this can only mean that, here in our morally underdeveloped nation, the idea of mass killing is very popular, mostly because it makes so many of us feel safe."

"Morally underdeveloped"? Come on, we have the highest rates of church attendance in the Western world!
I think there's an inverse relationship between Church attendance and morality.
I think there is a constellation of characteristics that include high church attendance rates and high teenage pregnancy rates and high support for conservatives and low educational achievement, etc.
