Elsewhere yesterday, I shared a piece I wrote last year about "wars and rumors of wars." As if to make for me the point I made here yesterday regarding Trump idolization/worship, someone responded, literally inserting Trump into Revelation, intimating the following:

"The four horsemen road overhead with Trump’s first 3 1/2 years until he gave his throne to the two false witnesses (Fauci & Berk) who unleashed plague variants every time they wished to continue lockdowns, whenever they pleased for 3 1/2 years

The second horsemen road over while Trump was making war on a beast virus that ‘was not’ and Congress was making war on him with two impeachments"

Another "Amen!" from me.

Thank you for all you do.

The Weekend at Bernie's metaphor couldn't be more apropos. That said, not being one for the tu quoque fallacy, I *have* seen idolization of Trump even to the extent of putting him on a level with Jesus himself, positing him as our political savior, and even applying messianic scripture to him. I wrote about the phenomenon last year, dubbing it TSS (Trump Savior Syndrome), the extreme devotional counterpoint to TDS.

Yup. Spot on Michael, as usual.

I run into the same stuff. Answer: "It's the policies, stupid." Along with the economy, of course, although even with Trump I'm afraid that'll get worse before it gets better.

and he’s got the money (and the guts) to fight

The hideous theatrics at the 2008 Democrat convention when the "Lightbringer" (my GOD I HATE that man) would have made Leni Reifenstahl blush. How fitting then the revolting, blood red from Pedo Pete shaking his fists at the sky and threatening the lives and security of more than half the country.

I knew when he spoke at the 2004 convention he was going to trouble us for the rest of his days.

This is a "party" that takes itself and its demands for power VERY seriously.

Meanwhile, Trump supporters have pictures of him in profile in the back windows of their cars. There is no "idolatry" here. There is genuine, to the hilt support, there is enthusiasm, there are people drawing parallels with the story of Christ, but they do not conflate political vengeance or electoral success with spiritual salvation in any real way.

He's a damn site better than BHO or H too. Trump hired a lot of good people. Too bad he didn't fire the DOJ.

He is not of us, but he is for us.

Here in 2024, I still believe that. SO DO I !!

I enthusiastically supported Trump the first time, relieved to finally have someone besides a politician as president. The fact that he can send people into a blind rage by saying water is wet was a bonus. I'd never really liked him before but gave him a chance. Our lives improved with him in office, gas was affordable and there weren't empty spots on the grocery shelves. In return we also got Take the guns first, due process second and operation warp speed among other disappointment and back stabbing.

I sat out 2020 because nobody represented me and watched Slo Xi Den steal the election. We all know how that's going. I've been seriously expecting to be nuked because of the bullshit the DC cabal is responsible for. Even growing up doing fallout drills at school the expectation of nuclear war wasn't as high as now. Putin must be a very patient man, he's far from stupid and has to be sick of the MIC trying to provoke him with their coke addled puppet Zelensky.

I still enjoy watching Trump trigger people and think the lawfare waged against him is criminal, duplicitous and unconstitutional. Especially when Uncle Bozie's nephew has classified documents in his garage, is a confirmed pedophile and can't string a sentence together without lies and mauling the English language. But every time I consider giving Trump another chance he does something stupid like proposing total immunity for cops or bragging about the jab. Cops kick your door in and waste your family because they were at the wrong place oh well, they are immune from prosecution. Suffer from Bell's Palsy because of the jab? Big Pharma is immune from being held accountable.

Again nobody is representing me or anyone like me so I'm sitting this one out too. Besides that the left has already stolen one election, why wouldn't they do it again? They fucking bragged about it the last time and the response was strongly worded letters of condemnation. The divorce is inevitable, all we can do is prepare for it.

Uncle Bozie's nephew will be reinstalled as president, unless he goes total Dark Brandon and his handlers have him suspend the...the uh... you know...the thing...uh...NOT A JOKE!!!
