There Is a Real Sense That the Apocalypse Is Coming: ex-evangelical tracks the rise of white Christian nationalism, looks ahead to where movement goes

Why are you walking around the streets at night, in a bad part of town? I used to walk around downtown Toronto late at night, but if I had to go east of Yonge Street, I took transit through Moss Park.

Clearly this was simply an example. White nationalists aren’t rioting and aren’t causing any significant issues except in the heads of the far-left. What is causing problems are criminals being able to walk the streets and not being arrested by bleeding heart leftists.
 
The coming Apocalypse will be in 9/8 time :eusa_whistle:

With the guards of Magog, swarming around
The Pied Piper takes his children underground
Dragons coming out of the sea
Shimmering silver head of wisdom looking at me
He brings down the fire from the skies
You can tell he's doing well by the look in human eyes
Better not compromise, it won't be easy

666 is no longer below
He's getting out the marrow in your backbone
And the seventh trumpet's blowing
Sweet rock and roll
Gonna blow right down inside your soul
Pythagoras with the looking glass reflects the full moon
In blood, he's writing the lyrics of a brand-new tune

:evil:

The left always needs their boogeymen….Plus, they worship the state, believing in God diminishes that, so they can’t have that.
 
Trump is what i call a "reluctant" white nationalist, a seemingly earnest and in some ways sensible outlier in a sea of virulent racists—which isn’t to say that Trump wasn’t racist, merely that he wasn’t so unambiguous about it. Also, you didn’t need to wince your way through a conversation littered with racial slurs when talking to him, which set him apart from many of his fellow white nationalists. One could argue that this made him all the more dangerous—an ostensible voice of reason covering up an insidious form of white supremacy—but it also made him easier to talk to, and yes, i've talked to Trump at Mar-A-Lago numerous times, my friends!

George Bush killed Iraqis and caused the deaths of American soldiers in vain because god told him
Oh yeah that’s it…Bush was just sitting in the oval one day and decided to spin the big globe and stop it with his finger on Iraq, so that why we went to war? Idiot.
 
I think it is easy to write people off as irrational or unhinged when they engage in conspiracy theories, but if we ask what conspiracy theories do in the context of the religious right, we arrive at a kind of power analysis.

This is a group that is used to having an enormous amount of privilege and influence over American politics, culture and economics, and over the last 60 years, they have increasingly felt as if that power has been slipping away. In my mind, conspiracy theories are a very effective way to mobilize one’s community and to leverage what is actually real and true in the public square, even if you don’t have the evidence or data to back it up. For the religious right, conspiracy is a reaction to not having unilateral decision-making power over what is accepted as true and unreal in the American public square. In many senses, conspiracy is a revenge fantasy — it’s an expression of resentment that says, “We are the ones who decide what is fact, we’re the ones who decide what is real, and we are going to push that vision on the public square even if you continue to tell us that there is no actual evidentiary basis for it.”

We’ve never lived in more demonic times. If we don’t stand for Jesus and his laws, Jesus won’t stand for us when it comes time to be judged.

See, exactly what I mean…Trump lives in your head…Get out, do something productive…Sitting around making yourself angry watching a speech is NOT what I’d call a “party”…..

i for example am going to my sons house later for his 31st birthday party with him and his friends… All lefties as you can imagine, and we will have a great time…music, drinks, a little smoke, and I’ll bet you not one sarcastic r v w fight the whole night….You know why? Because there’s more to life.
 
Only cult Christian ones .

Only George Michael had Faith.

Or, St George , as we call him .
Ha, I know you’re trying to insult while being funny….fell flat, get some better.
 
The feeling of loss is at times understandable—it is difficult to travel through the hollows of West Virginia without a palpable feeling of being in a part of the world whose time has come and gone—but in the minds of those who joined the ranks of the far right, it had festered into a warped ideology of white entitlement and hatred. Of course, white nationalism exists on a spectrum, and although there are certainly those who will happily expound on their hatred for anything black or brown, there are also those who claim that the white race is not inherently better than others, merely that it is their race and that they should be allowed to take pride in it.

I think you’re wasting you’re time….I don’t believe Trump will be the nominee

The ubermensch Christians have always fought for Christ.
