Re: Politics and the Church
I read a few days ago that many of Trump's followers are into conspiracy theories. Hey, everything is a conspiracy. Shadow powers -- like the shadow government -- are the ones actually pulling the real strings, behind the scenes/seeings. So says one ubiquitous conspiracy.
Trump has claimed numerous times "It's rigged." There you have it, those invisible people again -- mystical people seems -- by virtue of their existence in the unseen.
But the unseen does exist. As was revealed when the DNC emails were hacked (by scary Russia, surely). And they did reveal a conspiracy ... against "feeling the Burn" ol' Bernie. I think secretly they disliked him because they don't trust those that are authentic. Authentic scares them.
And turns out it is so. On the flaky dubious right we have another one that's popular precisely for not being PC, and is also authentic. That indeed is scary. Why? Because Trump is unpredictable, to say the least. We never know when he's just being sarcastic. He can even shoot of a nuke and say it was sarcasm, he says. Recently he said "I will never lie to you," and he apologized (for what we don't know). Is that more sarcasm? Will he tomorrow say that he was only joking? We don't know do we?
So I don't know. Are Christian supporters of Trump made gullible to such highfalutin -- in his case empty -- promises because they're primed by their belief system, that's full of them? After all, Satan, the prince and god of this world is, the quintessential conspirator, pulling all the strings that matter, behind the scenes/seeings.
Or might it be just because he's hard on Mooozlims (they even get kicked out of his rallies)?
And where's that religious right ... that's captured the spotlight in elections passed? It's like they've gone underground -- resorting perchance to conspiratorial strategies -- against abortion and same sex marriage, and the gay conspiracy to take over the world?
Trump has knocked all that out of whack, and akilter. But not just that. Ohio thinks there won't be another pubbie president. After Trump there might not be a GOP at all. Trump is not a Republican. He's supported the Clintons in the past, and is actually a democrat. But because he's managed to become the republican nominee the GOP has to hold their nose, swallow that bitter pill, and still endorse him. No wonder they're worried he might be the cause of them losing majority in the Senate. But it's not him. It's them. The pubbles are looking like they need their heads examined. Rubio even said recently he stood by his claim in the primaries that, Trump is a con man. But he still endorses him. That's just plain, and obvious to all, crazy. And the same goes for majority leader Mitch McConnell. And to think, it could all turn out to be one big sarcasm. Haha pubbies. The joke's on you ... and your whole party ... which is falling, more than seems, into smithereens.
And then we have lying Hillary. The Hildabeast. Hilla the Hun, as Bill calls her.
Can a Christian in all good conscience vote for any of this? If so, maybe not just they, but all of America, needs to have it's head's examined.
Sorry for that rant. I'm just a little worked up and conflicted about all of this. And ha. It's all sarcasm. Like this election.
