HUH? Addled Trump Urges His Cult Followers to Vote AND to Not Vote as He Aims to End Democracy

Posted by on July 27, 2024 at 12:41 pm. 1 Comments :

The 2024 presidential election has been an unprecedented and confounding campaign of starkly contrasting candidates ever since Donald Trump threw his red MAGA cap into the ring. His presence at any affair will always test the limits of lunacy, and this race is no exception. And the divisions just became even more apparent with President Biden passing the torch to Vice-President Kamala Harris.

Donald Trump, Mocking Disability

There are unique difficulties encountered when running against someone whose chief skills are lying and pandering to meathead cult disciples who are eager to be lied to. In this environment a sociopathic narcissist can fake a populist agenda that appeals to the lower rung racists and intellectual deficients of society. Which is exactly what Trump has managed to do. MAGA devotees openly admit that Trump is not only their political, but also their spiritual guiding star.

SEE THIS: IT’S A CULT! Poll Shows Republicans Trust Only Criminal Messiah Trump to Tell Them the Truth

With that in mind, it is understandable, albeit frightening, how thoroughly entranced the Trump cultists are. It’s a mass delusional community that can’t recognize even the most flagrant falsehoods and hypocrisies. A couple of recent Trump rallies have provided a chilling example of that blind adoration with respect to his advice on participatory democracy. Note the overt contradictions in the quotes below…

[June 22] “I want the steal stopped. Because we don’t need the votes. We have the votes. We have more votes than we need. What we need – I tell these guys, I tell the RNC, I tell Michael {Whatley], I tell Lara [Trump}, I don’t care, We have all the votes.”

[July 26] “Christians, get out and vote, just this time. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what, it will be fixed. It will be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians. I’m [???] Christian. I love you. Get out – you gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not gonna have to vote.”

So in the first quote Trump is unburdening his believers from the bother of voting because he insists that he already has more than enough votes to beat Harris. How he “knows” that is a mystery. But even if he had some rational reasoning, it would still be preposterous to discourage your supporters from going to the polls.

However, Trump threw another curveball with the additional comments he made imploring his faithful to vote. That’s right. The same people he previously said that he doesn’t need. In this statement Trump not only reverses course saying that he does need them, but that if they comply this time, they won’t ever have to do it again. Which is his way of assuring them that his victory this year will be a permanent one that results in his ascension to dictator/messiah.

It’s also notable how he refers to the the people whose votes he is now soliciting as “my beautiful Christians.” Compare that to how he refers to Jewish voters when he insults them saying that “Any Jewish person who votes for Kamala, or a Democrat, should immediately have their head examined.” So in Trump’s mind, Christians are “beautiful,” but Jews are psychotic.

You have to wonder what Trump’s cult worshippers are going to do in November. His advice in both of the quotes above is blatantly anti-democratic and anti-American. It is, however, pro-demagogue and advocates for capitulating to crackpot potentates.

So will Trump’s flock abstain from voting because they aren’t needed? Or will they vote with the hope of electing a tyrant? It’s too soon to tell. But it isn’t too soon to declare them all deplorables who can’t think for themselves so they surrender their free will to an aspiring authoritarian, and they abandon their principles to a convicted felon, financial fraudster, and adjudicated rapist. And between now and election day they will pray that Trump tells them in less confusing language what they should do.

Trump Spokesmodel Tells Fox News that ‘the Left is Godless’ in Post-Shooting Play for – Unity?

Posted by on July 16, 2024 at 1:20 pm. 4 Comments :

Republicans have spent years proclaiming themselves to be the party of Jesus. They regard their people and their policies as the divine product of pure Christian conviction. And therefore, whatever they do and say is sanctioned by god and elevated from merely the political to the pious.

Flaming Trump

The fulfillment of that feeble faithfulness has finally been achieved with the descent of Donald Trump to the Earthly realm. His MAGA cult disciples revere him as a messenger from heaven, despite his alignment with a place much farther down. They believe that he was sent to slay their foes (i.e. Blacks, gays, and all manner of liberals). The MAGAtists see him that way because he sees himself that way, and who are they to disagree? They will obediently comply and bequeath unto him their funds to purchase his Trump-branded bible and cover his legal expenses incurred from his communion with porn stars and committing fraud. And then there’s this…

SEE THIS: Immaculate Birther: Donald Trump Says He Doesn’t Have To Ask God For Forgiveness

In the days that followed the shooting in Pennsylvania that resulted in Trump’s “Earlobe Stigmata,” many of Trump’s devotees have testified on television that he is the beneficiary of divine intervention by virtue of his having survived. They apparently believe that the Trump fan who died deserved it, so god forsook him. And on Tuesday morning, the preachers on Fox News visited with Trump’s Deputy Director of Communications (aka Propaganda), Caroline Sunshine, to glory in the light of the Don. Trump’s Sunshine engaged in the following exchange with Fox’s Harris Faulkner…

Faulkner: People are praying for him. People have tapped into that. How does the left come against that? What are they gonna do?
Sunshine: I think the left is godless. And I don’t feel like it’s hard to say that. I don’t say that from a place of malice. I say that as a woman of deep faith myself.[…]

The MAGA movement is full of people that love our country, but love god. What president Trump survived is divine intervention. […] It’s good to remember that good does defeat evil.”

Harris is correct that people have been praying for Trump. Including President Biden, Kamala Harris, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and many more of the Democrats who offered their prayers, but who Faulkner never mentioned, and who Sunshine believes are evil.

Sunshine claims that her accusation that “the left is godless” comes from being “a woman of deep faith.” That is an explicitly anti-Christian attitude. She might want to refer to Matthew 7, that warns “Judge not, that ye be not judged.” And despite her denial, she is speaking purely with malice. There is simply no other way to describe it. Particularly when she elaborates by implying that Democrats are “evil.”

It’s also notable that these malicious comments come so soon after many Americans of all political persuasions have expressed their desire to turn down the harsh rhetoric and seek to unite the country in its common goals. Both Biden and Trump have publicly promised to do so. But only Biden has kept that promise. Trump, on the other hand, has bizarrely defined “unity” as giving him the freedom to commit crimes at will. and his MAGAtists have gone full bore into blaming Biden and Democrats for the violence that Trump has incited for years.

The phony piety of pseudo-religious Republicans has long registered abnormally high on the hypocrisy scale. But now, with Trump’s resurrection from near – er, make that ear – death, it is completely off the charts. Their adoption of Trump as messiah is complete. And they will proselytize that blasphemy from now until November 5th, and probably longer. Especially if he loses. That’s what cults do.

Trump Sends His Easter Greetings to ‘Those Many People that I Completely and Totally Despise’

Posted by on March 31, 2024 at 1:30 pm. 5 Comments :

One of the best indicators of the malignant narcissism of Donald Trump is his consistent practice of making any and every holiday an opportunity to exalt himself. He does it on Christmas, and New Year’s, and Thanksgiving, and even on the Fourth of July.

Click here to Tweet this article

Flaming Trump

Of course, Trump can’t let any day go by without grasping for attention by lavishing praise on himself and/or scorn on his enemies. Buy he’s even more consumed with his own glorification on holidays that are observed by others. Heaven forbid that any day of remembrance be wasted remembering someone other than Trump.

FOR INSTANCE: Trump’s Craven Christmas Prayer for Presidential Immunity and an End to Yuletide Witch Hunts

On this Easter Sunday Trump has once again demonstrated his messianic delusions in a post on his floundering social media scam, Truth Social. As usual, it was a long, rambling, tirade that threw in every pet peeve that he has been harboring for years. And all of it wrapped up in what he regards as a holiday greeting. He began…

“HAPPY EASTER TO ALL, INCLUDING CROOKED AND CORRUPT PROSECUTORS AND JUDGES THAT ARE DOING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO INTERFERE WITH THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 2024, AND PUT ME IN PRISON, INCLUDING THOSE MANY PEOPLE THAT I COMPLETELY & TOTALLY DESPISE BECAUSE THEY WANT TO DESTROY AMERICA, A NOW FAILING NATION…”

Let’s pause to take a breath here. This is another example of Trump making everything about himself. Notice that Trump did not address his Easter greeting to any observant Christians who are celebrating the resurrection of their savior. True to form, Trump is filled with anger and hatred, resulting in his message being directed solely to those upon whom he seeks those famously Christ-like traits of retribution and revenge. And naturally, he denigrates America simply because its citizens have not embraced him as their deity.

Trump went on to single out as “SICK” and “EVIL” special prosecutor Jack Smith, Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis, and New York D.A. Alvin Bragg. In his haste to post his contemptuous screed he forget to include New York Attorney General, Letitia James. But he didn’t leave out President Biden in a reference to “CROOKED JOE’S DOJ THUGS.”

This post came after more than 70 other posts on Easter morning. So even though his Easter greeting was mired in malice, it still didn’t have any priority over dozens of other posts such as his attack on Judge Merchan’s daughter, and his link to an article (in the Moonie Washington Times) comparing him to Christ titled “The Crucifixion of Donald Trump.”

What’s more, Trump posted comments lambasting Biden for a couple of phony outrages that were being spread by right-wing media. Such as…

  • The White House Easter Egg contest that restricted the use of religious symbols on the eggs. Never mind that those rules have been in effect for 45 years, including during the Trump years.
  • The wingnut uproar over the declaration of “Transgender Day of Visibility.” Once again, that was an event that has been recognized for since 2010, including while Trump occupied the White House.

And yet, the glassy-eyed disciples of the Trump cult remain transfixed by the rapist and blasphemous bible salesman with 88 felony charges pending, as their divine, albeit autocratic, redeemer. And Happy Easter to all those who continue to pledge their devotion and intention to follow Trump, straight into the pits of Hades if he so demands.

Rev. Trump is Peddling His ‘God Bless the USA Bible’ to Pay His Judgments for Fraud and Rape

Posted by on March 26, 2024 at 1:19 pm. 3 Comments :

The messianic delusions of Donald Trump have been evident in many of his frequent declarations of divine infallibility, moral perfection, and insistence that only he is capable of saving mankind (see “Related Stories” below). Which is all the more bizarre coming from a pathological liar, who has five children from three wives, all of whom he cheated on; has been found civilly liable for sexual assault; never attends church and can’t cite a single Bible verse; and brags about grabbing women by their genitals.

Donald Trump Messiah

With that record of a lifelong devotion to sacrilege, Trump is launching a new venture aimed at relieving the burdens of his recent legal tribulations, including at least 88 felony charges ranging from threatening election officials, to stealing classified documents, to inciting an insurrection, and civil judgments totaling more than half a billion dollars that he has no visible means of paying.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Lawyer on Fox News Refuses to Rule Out Getting Russia to Pay His $454 Million Judgment

Trump’s latest grifting operation is a televangelist-style promotion of a Bible that is being pitched as “the only Bible endorsed by President Trump!” Someone needs to explain exactly what a Trump endorsement of a Bible means. Is it extra holy? Does it have Trump’s mugshot on the cover? Have all references to Jesus been replaced by Trump?

The Trump-branded Bible is a value added product that includes copies of secular political documents such as the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence. Trump, of course, is getting a piece of God’s action in the same manner that he sold his superhero NFT cards and gaudy golden sneakers. You know, just like Jesus did.

The company selling the bibles is CIC Ventures LLC (likely stands for Commander-in-Chief) was established in Palm Beach, Florida, in 2021. The address given for the company is that of the Trump International Golf Club.

Trump posted a video on his failing Truth Social scam that is a tribute to the best tradition of American Snake Oil salesmen. In the video Trump decrees that “We must make America pray again.” Notice that this is not a suggestion that Americans pray, but a command to “make” them pray. And just to confirm his intention, Trump ordered his cult followers to commence proselytizing, saying that “I think you all should get a copy of ‘God Bless the USA Bible’ now and help spread our Christian values.” Then he elaborated…

“Religion and Christianity are the biggest things missing from this country, and I truly believe that we need to bring them back and we have to bring them back fast. That’s why our country is going haywire. We’ve lost religion in our country. All Americans need a Bible in their home and I have many, it’s my favorite book.” […]

“Christians are under siege, we must protect content that is pro-God. We love God and we have to protect anything that is pro-God. We must defend God in the public square and not allow the media or the left-wing groups to silence, censor, or discriminate against us. We have to bring Christianity back into our lives.”

Trump’s insistence that “All Americans need a Bible in their home” is blatantly contrary to the constitutional protection of religious freedom. He is essentially mandating state recognition of Christianity. And he underscores his anti-Americanism with ultimatums dictating what he calls being “pro-God,” but which surely excludes any belief that is not explicitly pro-Jesus.

Trump’s greed and blasphemous perversions are insulting to both Christians and non-Christians, as well as to American patriots who revere the Constitution. And they come from someone who is notoriously irreligious, and openly hostile to both the religious and political beliefs that he is pretending to advocate.

Trump recently said that Jews who vote for Democrats must hate their religion. And he has said the same thing about Christians. But what he really means is that anyone who votes against him is a heretic who hates his messianic movement. And the only path to salvation is buying his blessed merchandise and paying homage to him. Sadly, there are lost souls who have embraced this sick spirituality. Just there have been in cults from the past.

Rev. Trump Found the Winning Campaign Message for 2024: Saving Christian Programs on AM Radio

Posted by on February 23, 2024 at 1:34 pm. 1 Comments :

There is a perverse irony, and holy hypocrisy, in the embrace of Donald Trump by people who profess to be Christian. They could not have settled for a less representative spokesman for a community of faith that allegedly reveres universal love, forgiveness, and moral rectitude.

Click here to Tweet this article

Donald Trump Messiah

Trump is a serial adulterer who has cheated on all three of his wives. He is a pathological bearer of false witness (aka liar). He exudes greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, pride, and sloth. In short, Trump is the antithesis of Christian piety. He has even explicitly referred to himself as a messianic incarnation of Christ.

SEE THIS: Trump Says ‘I Am the Chosen One’ After Tweeting that He’s ‘The Second Coming of God’

On Thursday Trump spoke at a convention of the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB), an association of Christian media professionals. And his address was replete with the sort of self-exaltation that he is well known for. However, he also waded into bizarre, dystopian tales of “Big Media” and “left-wing pressure groups” telling the televangelists what to say.

“They want you to say what they want you, what they want to have you say. And we’re not gonna let that happen. You’re going to say as you want and you’re going to believe, and you’re going to believe in God. You’re gonna believe in God because God is here and God is watching. God is watching. And God probably can’t believe what he’s seeing.”

First of all, anyone listening to this garbled mess would conclude that Trump is mentally unfit to serve tables at Appleby’s. But setting aside the cognitively fractured state of his rhetoric, Trump is fear mongering about censorship of Christian media that doesn’t exist. He then went on to offer himself as their savior, saying that…

“I will protect the content that is pro-God. We’re going to protect pro-God context and content. To that end, at the request of the NRB, I will do my part to protect AM radio in our cars. You know, we like to listen to AM radio. Because you know what we’re listening to.”

So Trump is apparently going to decide for everyone what “pro-God” content is. And he is planning to force private companies to distribute those Trump-approved sermons on media that is fading in popularity.

In Trump’s America auto manufactures won’t be allowed to decide what features to include in their cars. Maybe he will demand that they install 8-track players, or subsidize Christian channels on subscription radio services such as SiriusXM. He surely isn’t going to display the same fervor for Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, or any other brand of religiosity in media.

Trump’s speech to the NRB also included some ridiculous – in a frightening way – comments. Such as his bragging about overturning Roe vs Wade, and that “everybody on both sides” agrees with that Supreme Court decision. Does he, or his cult followers, actually believe that? He also lied that Democrats are in favor of abortion “even after birth.” And he promised to get rid of the Department of Education, because he “loves the poorly educated.”

For the most part this was Trump’s standard stump speech, complete with the tedious references to his multiple indictments, which he regards as akin to crucifixon. But this spiel was littered with more verbal glitches, incoherent wandering, and slurred words, as his mental cognition deteriorates.

To that downward spiraling, Trump added his new advocacy for an authoritarian imposition of Christian AM radio in every car. All of which sounds like a great campaign strategy. So long as he is running for Commander-in-Chief of Ward 7, with Nurse Ratched as his VP.

Self-Appointed Pseudo Messiah Trump Decrees that ‘Nobody Else’ But Him Can Keep Israel Safe

Posted by on October 10, 2023 at 5:38 pm. 9 Comments :

While the world is watching with anguish and dread the ongoing assault on Israel by Hamas terrorists, the leader of the Republican Party is behaving in his typically infantile manner as he exalts himself and maligns anyone who he regards as insufficiently worshipful.

Click here to Tweet this article

Flaming Trump

In the immediate aftermath of the savage attacks on innocent civilians, including children, Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican confederates sought to shift responsibility from the perpetrators of the inhumane brutality, to President Biden. They have engaged in a flagrantly dishonest and disgusting campaign to “Blame America First” in an effort to gain some paltry political advantage.

SEE THIS: Trump’s ‘Blame America First’ MAGA GOP Aims Their Fire at Biden Rather than Hamas Terrorists

True to form, Trump keeps making matters worse with every comment in the media or post on his pitifully failing social media scam, Truth Social. Case in point, on Tuesday Trump posted his declaration that…

“I KEPT ISRAEL SAFE! NOBODY ELSE WILL, NOBODY ELSE CAN, AND I KNOW ALL OF THE PLAYERS!!!”

This is just the latest expression by Trump of his perception of himself as a holy figure with powers greater than mere mortals. He has previously declared that he alone can “bring peace to the World!” He also recently boasted that he is “stand[ing] up to the evil and demonic forces that want to destroy our country.” Now he is Israel’s savior and he claims to “know all the players.” Really? Even those in Hamas? All of which is consistent with the delusions of someone who once proclaimed to reporters that “I am the chosen one.”

These are the mad ravings of a wannabe messiah who yearns for the sort of devotion that is showered onto cult leaders. And when he isn’t elevating himself to sainthood, he is condemning his perceived enemies as heathens from the depths of hell.

More often than not, that disparagement is aimed at President Biden. Trump is now lying to his disciples that Biden used “American taxpayer dollars [to] fund these attacks” in Israel. He asserted what he falsely called “Biden’s ineptitude, weakness, and incompetence [that] has led to this horrible attack.” And like every bad thing that ever happens, he insists that it “WOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED IF I WERE PRESIDENT.”

Trump is also fomenting imaginary fears that “The same people that raided Israel are pouring into our once beautiful USA.” So Trump is now claiming, without and proof whatsoever, that Hamas is “pouring into” the U.S. And all of this is at the behest of “his BOSS, Barack Hussein Obama!”

For additional evidence of Trump’s nightmarish hallucinatory dementia – not that any more evidence is necessary – Trump also posted a harangue aimed at some of his fellow Republicans who have dared to withhold their pledge of blind loyalty to him. He posted a comment whining that…

“The problem with so many in our Party, they go after the people who are on their side, rather than the Radical Left Democrats.”

This was in response to a report that a few of his challengers are gathering at a summit in Utah. What makes this hysterically absurd is that that same post began with Trump saying…

“I understand Candidates that are losing by 57 to 70 Points are getting together with RINO Paul RINO, Mitt “The Loser” Romney, Bill “No Guts or Talent” Barr, and some broken political ‘investors'”

Needless to say, no one more viciously attacks Republicans that Trump. This comment displays it in a single post. However, he has previously called the GOP minority leader in the Senate “Old Crow” Mitch McConnell, and his wife “Coco Chow.” During the January 6th insurrection, he blasted Kevin McCarthy saying, “I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are.” He viciously attacks his Republican challengers in the GOP presidential primary with childish nicknames such as “Ron DeSanctimonious,” “Sloppy Chris Christie,” “Bird Brain” Nikki Haley,” and “Liddle'” Mike Pence.” And he even threatened those he deems “weak” Republicans, saying that “we will put them all in jail where they belong.”

Well, that’s actually not a bad idea. However, we should start with those who already have multiple pending criminal indictments, such as Donald Trump.

Wannabe Messiah Trump Claims to Be Standing Up to the ‘Demonic Forces’ Destroying Our Country

Posted by on September 16, 2023 at 11:51 am. 5 Comments :

How did America get to be so lucky as to have its own personal savior fighting a solitary battle against the armies of Satan who are seeking to annihilate all traces of goodness and light from a nation of blind believers? It surely is a blessing that the prospect of a dystopian future has been foiled due to the divine deeds of the deified Donald Trump.

Donald Trump Messiah

That’s how Trump has been presenting himself and his mission ever since he descended from the heavens on a golden escalator. He views the country as being in a downward spiral that only he can prevent. America is, in his diseased mind, a hell-hole wherein its suffering citizens are too scared to venture from their besieged abodes into a world of terror and pain.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Fear Mongering Lies About ‘Streets Drenched in Blood’ Reach New Depths of Depravity

Coming to the rescue is Dear Leader Trump, who has been anointed by god to confront the evil that has enveloped the nation. And it’s a role that he takes on with pride in order to free his people from perdition and servitude. He told his cult followers at the “Pray Vote Stand” summit sponsored by the ultra-rightist Family Research Council that…

“I wanted to, and had to, stand up to the communists, the Marxists, and the atheists, and the evil and demonic forces that want to destroy our country. They’re destroying our country. I took their fire and I did it gladly. I’m protecting the people in this room, I’m protecting the people of this nation. And I have to tell you it’s not easy. But it’s something that’s such an honor to be doing.”

If anyone is a “demonic force” that is trying to “destroy our country” maybe it’s the guy who was impeached twice and is currently awaiting trial on four criminal indictments with 91 felony counts, including conspiring to overthrow the government and undermine democracy. And it’s hard to argue that you are “gladly” taking fire, when all you ever do is whine and lie and unleash hostile assaults on dedicated public servants in law enforcement, the Justice Department, the judiciary, the media, and any politician that doesn’t kiss your…let’s say ring.

As an example of Trump’s commitment to battling evil, consider his outburst on Friday at the same summit wherein he attacked special counsel Jack Smith saying that…

“He is a deranged individual and he wants to take away my First Amendment rights. They went to court to get an order that I can’t speak.”

What Trump is referring to is the special counsel’s request that the court instruct Trump to refrain from threatening and intimidating persons connected to his indictments. The motion asserted that…

“Like his previous public disinformation campaign regarding the 2020 presidential election, the defendant’s recent extrajudicial statements are intended to undermine public confidence in an institution [and] intimidate individuals — the Court, the jury pool, witnesses, and prosecutors. […] The defendant knows that when he publicly attacks individuals and institutions, he inspires others to perpetrate threats and harassment against his targets.”

It’s notable that Trump’s attack on Smith came after the special counsel’s motion. So in effect, Trump has bolstered the argument that his comments should be constrained. Also, contrary to his pathetic yelping and delusions of victimhood, Trump’s First Amendment rights are not being infringed. The Constitution doesn’t protect threats and intimidation, especially against court officers, witnesses, and potential jurors.

However, when you regard yourself as a holy warrior and disciple of god, anything you say and do is within the realm of divinity. And that is how Trump sees himself and his messianic mission. Or at least that’s how he wants his tiny klan of glassy-eyed disciples to see him. And sadly, too many of them do

IT’S A CULT! Poll Shows Republicans Trust Only Criminal Messiah Trump to Tell Them the Truth

Posted by on August 20, 2023 at 12:22 pm. 5 Comments :

The devotion of Republicans to their Dear Leader Donald Trump is astonishingly steadfast. He is leading his challengers in the primary for the GOP presidential nomination by substantial margins, despite his having been indicted a historic four times with a total of 91 felony counts.

Click here to Tweet this article

Donald Trump Messiah

Clearly Republican voters do not regard respect for the law or the Constitution as requirements for public service. To the contrary, their dismissal of Trump’s criminality appears to be an extra incentive to cast their votes for him. They cling ever tighter to Trump, even as he himself seems to be descending into an abyss of psychological trauma, paranoia, and fear.

SEE THIS: UPDATE on Donald Trump’s Deteriorating Mental State

The first rule of a cult is to believe only what the cult leader tells you, and that everyone else is lying. Trump has made that explicit admonition himself in order to keep his followers in line, saying that saying that “what you’re seeing and what you’re reading is not what’s happening.” Now, a new poll by CBS News confirms that the glassy-eyed Trump disciples have an allegiance to him that transcends all other influencers in their lives…

“Right now, the Republican Party would easily re-nominate Donald Trump for 2024. And it’s not close. The former president now holds his largest lead over his rivals. […] Trump’s voters hold him as a source of true information, even more so than other sources, including conservative media figures, religious leaders, and even their own friends and family.”

This is a level of trust generally reserved for prophets and messengers of God. But the trust that Trump’s followers have for him surpasses that of the people who are most often held in the highest esteem. Some of this absence of faith is explainable. A certain percentage of people will cease to believe their own spouses, parents, and siblings, because they may not be Trump supporters, and may even be (gasp) Democrats. Similarly, traditional conservatives can’t be trusted because some of them have recognized that Trump is a fraud and a loser and have disavowed him.

Perhaps the most surprising finding in this poll is how far down the list religious leaders have fallen. There is little of the sort of ideological treason among them that is attributable to family and pundits. Indeed, their motives are generally regarded as without political baggage.

So the only explanation is that pastors and priests, et al, are competition for Trump, who must be revered and worshipped above all others. It’s the same reason that wars are fought over differences of spiritual affiliations. And that is precisely what makes Trump – and his mesmerized minions – so intractable and, ultimately, dangerous.

Fox News Unleashes Lie-Riddled Attack on AOC for Criticizing Right-Wing Jesus’ Super Bowl Ad

Posted by on February 13, 2023 at 12:16 pm. NO Comments :

The Republican Party’s obsession with whatever the heck they think “wokeness” is has proven that nothing in American society will be exempt from that focus group contrived crackpottery. And just to drive the point home, Super Bowl Sunday was their latest example of the pandemic spread of the woke virus.

Pray for Fox News

It was impossible to watch ten minutes of any right-wing media without encountering some version of this demented mindset. It infected their perception of the national anthem, that was paired with an honorary performance of what’s known as the Black national anthem, “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” It also infected reviews of Rihanna’s halftime show that some wingnuts described as “Satanic.” It also infected their analysis of the teams, whose quarterbacks, for some reason, had to be identified as Christians. While it has nothing to do with football, it is integral to the right’s perspective on pretty much everything. So long as it serves their political purpose, until it doesn’t.

RELATED: Loyalty? Trump Blames His Evangelical Cult Followers for His Own Failures and Electoral Fiascos

On Monday morning the Fox News quarterbacking began when Fox’s media correspondent, Joe Concha, was interviewed by Sandra Smith. The segment was introduced by Smith highlighting a tweet posted by Democratic representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez:

“The progressive lawmaker tweeted ‘Something tells me Jesus would ‘not’ spend millions of dollars on Super Bowl ads to make fascism look benign.’ Some Twitter users baffled by the comment, one asking ‘Are you serious,’ and another saying ‘It’s a unifying message so I’m not surprised you don’t approve.’ A final thought from you on that, Joe.”

Before we get to Concha’s reply, let’s observe that AOC is actually correct. Jesus was not an advocate of massive PR campaigns to promote his philosophy. To the contrary, he worked with small groups (of 12) and discouraged uprisings on the part of his followers. Furthermore, the “baffled” Twitter user who questioned AOC’s seriousness, Eric Owens, was actually a former writer for Tucker Carlson’s Daily Caller. So in response to that introduction, Concha said…

“So the congresswoman who has been in Congress for two terms that has yet to see one piece of sponsored or co-sponsored legislation passed, or even remotely taken seriously, the perpetually outraged Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is outraged over this ad? Wow! Shut the front door. Of course she is.

“If she isn’t complaining about something, then it isn’t a day ending in “y.” And for her, again, to invoke fascism, she has no idea what fascism means. And the good news is that the “He Gets Us” campaign was launched in March of last year. It plans to spend $2 billion over the next several years. So get used to seeing these ads. They certainly have the money to get the word out again.”

For starters, Concha is predictably wrong about AOC’s legislative record. The truth is that she was a co-sponsor of 31 bills that were passed into law. Given his inability to offer accurate analyses, it’s Concha who should never be taken seriously. Nor should his immature insults aimed at AOC’s knowledge of fascism, or anything else, be regarded as reliable commentary.

Concha went on to gush about the “good news” that the Jesus ad campaign is well financed, because we all know how much Jesus loved money (see “root of all evil”) and it’s handlers (aka “changers”. What he failed to mention was the the financiers were notorious proponents of right-wing orthodoxy. They include the ultra-rightist Hobby Lobby CEO, Danny Green, and the virulently anti-LGBTQ, Alliance Defending Freedom, which the Southern Poverty Law Center has identified as a hate group. According to the SPLC the Alliance “claims that a “homosexual agenda” will destroy Christianity and society.” And that’s the “good news”?

Nevertheless, Fox News can be expected to advance their Christianist bias at every opportunity. Even when it is connected to something as unrelated to religion as the Super Bowl. And if, in the process, they can malign a Democrat who is exercising free speech, all the better.

Loyalty? Trump Blames His Evangelical Cult Followers for His Own Failures and Electoral Fiascos

Posted by on January 17, 2023 at 11:38 am. 11 Comments :

The unholy alliance between Donald Trump and the right-wing evangelical crusaders in America was always a marriage of political convenience. Trump, a profane, serial philandering, greedy, narcissistic, pathological liar, never really liked the religious chumps he suckered into backing him, and they never really liked him either.

Donald Trump Messiah

From the outset of his political pursuits, Trump sought to exploit the faith-based community. And they were more than willing to be exploited so long as he delivered on their political agenda. Their relationship endured even when Trump portrayed himself as on par with Christ’s divinity.

SO SAYETH: Trump Says ‘I Am the Chosen One’ After Tweeting that He’s ‘The Second Coming of God’

Well, just like Trump’s other marriages, this one was destined for a messy divorce. The signs of the breakout become more apparent on Monday when Trump called into the right-wing “Real America’s Voice” Internet show with Trump-fluffer, David Brody. Trump revealed that he was very upset with some evangelical leaders for being insufficiently worshipful of him after recent elections exposed his fading influence (video below)…

Brody: Your were the ultimate fighter, the ultimate counterpuncher for sure, and that makes me think of evangelicals, why they loved you twice in those elections. And when you announced your candidacy, at least as it stands now, some of these prominent evangelical leaders that backed you last time are not yet willing to commit – like Robert Jeffers is not, some others. It seems like many of them are waiting to see how the field takes shape before backing anyone. what is your message to them?

Trump: Well, I don’t really care. That’s a sign of disloyalty. There’s great disloyalty in the world of politics, and that’s a sign of disloyalty because nobody, as you know – and you would know better than anybody because you do such a great job – nobody has ever done more for right to life than Donald Trump. I put three Supreme Court justices who all voted [to overturn Roe v. Wade]. And they got something they’ve been fighting for for 64 years. Many, many years. Nobody thought they could win it. They won. Roe v Wade. They won, they finally won.

So Trump says that he doesn’t care that some evangelicals aren’t supporting him now. Sure he doesn’t. He doesn’t care so much that he is blaming them for Republican electoral losses. He was particularly disappointed that they didn’t repay him with their votes for his nomination of three anti-abortion Supreme Court justices. He went on to whine that…

Trump: I was a little disappointed because I thought they could have fought much harder during the election, the 2022 election. Because they won and a lot of them didn’t fight or weren’t really around to fight, and it did energize the Democrats. A lot of people fought for years to get it. They sort of, I don’t know, were protesting and doing what they could’ve done. But with all of that being said, there’s nobody that did more for the movement than I have. And that includes the movement of evangelicals and Christians and the movement very much of ‘right to life.

True to form, Trump is taking all the credit for the Supreme Court’s ruling against reproductive rights. And naturally, he insists that he’s done more than anyone for the cause. In reality, Trump was a pawn of the Republican right and evangelicals. He was put in a position to nominate anti-abortion justices by conservative, theocratic voters. Those justices were then confirmed by the GOP majority in the Senate. That was the plan long before Trump came along.

Trump is also predictably blaming his own failures on others when it’s clear that he was the primary reason that so many of the extremist candidates he endorsed in 2022 lost. Trump is also exhibiting his pattern of expecting complete loyalty to him despite his utter lack of loyalty to anyone else. He’s willing to throw everyone under the bus whenever he believes it benefits him, or if they weren’t bowing low enough. And in this case he’s expecting his cult followers to chose loyalty to him over their lord and savior – which, of course, he thinks he is.

As for the evangelicals, they are proving that to them it has always been about politics. When Trump is no longer helping them achieve their political goals, they ditch him. But when they found him useful, they ignored all of his blatantly sinful ways and his lifelong dismissal of any religion that didn’t worship him. Because, when all is said and done, these evangelicals are no more reverent than Trump.
