One of the things that has grieved me over the years – in 2015, I thought that surely the “grab em by the &&^&% “ comment would end his support among “Christians”
Then I thought it would be mocking the disabled.
Then maybe the disastrous Economy. The revelation that he stole labor from every single one of his contractors.
His racism, his hatred of women.
Then maybe I thought it would be the Epstein files.
Would raping children be enough to end the “Christian” support?
And the answer is no.
Hatred runs deep. Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Hannity, pulpits all over the country stoked the hatred and fear of the religious right, until there weren’t any values left.
Just hate.
Hatred of trans people, hatred of brown people, hatred of foreigners, hatred of Biden, hatred of Kamala, hate, hate, hate…
So it didn’t matter to his base, as long as he stoked their hatred.
And now, just like the Bible predicted, they are no longer able to judge good and evil. It’s demonic.
So now, DJT could come out and speak to the nation in pumps and full makeup wearing a negligee, and his base would cheer and call it skilled negotiation.
He could strip naked and make out with JD Vance while Caroline Leavett cheers and twirls her cross necklace in the name of Jesus and his base would cheer and call him bold.
He could curse an entire people and threaten them with annihilation, and his base would cheer. That’s right. He did that one, and they did.
And I used to think that no one would ever actually drop a nuclear bomb…but now I’m not sure at all.
Perhaps this is what the Bible means about it ending in fire.
And when the last of the bombs drop and the earth is annihilated and Jesus comes again, the religious right would clap and say, “At least he owned the libs.”
Hatred is strong. This isn’t natural.
