Facebook Exchange On Bad Religion, Opioid Carnage And Armageddon Cheerleading

If Jesus is "looking down" and considers Trump a normal human being -- in any sense of the word -- Jesus is not my guy.
It is at least ironic that white, "conservative" "Christians" find His Despicability not only normal but laudable -- indeed, in their collective derangement, Trump is considered a cure-all "messiah."
And the crazier the guy gets, the more certain they become of his divine ordination.

Debate Viewers Struggle with Concept of President Without Glaring Personality Disorder
In interviews across the country, Americans said that they were having difficulty imagining a President who does not display flagrant signs of malignant narcissism, impulse-control deficit, or rampant paranoia.

  • Robert Hudson Alan - I think real reason they support him is that they think the worse he gets, the closer they are to the End of Days ... which is what they are really after.
    • Alan Archibald I think you're right Robert about the eschatological dreams of white Christian conservatives.

      The Heartland's unabated opioid carnage reveals legions of desparate white people killing themselves with startling ferocity. 

      I know "times are tough" in rural America. 

      But I do not see life in The Heartland getting any easier. 

      Clearly, white people will not return to the rigors of labor-intensive agricultural life. And new jobs -- for better or worse -- are increasingly concentrated in The Information Economy where opportunity abounds but only if people relinquish their "once upon a time" industrial dreams to learn new, intellectually-engaged skills.

      The core issue is not so much that a hugely disproportionate number of rural, white conservatives are uneducated people, but that they refuse to become educated.

      And so, loathe to surrender the advantages of white privilege, these desparate heartlanders neither migrate to communities where opportunities are available (as uneducated, non-English-speaking latinos do)... nor will they learn new skills appropriate to The Information Economy.

      Instead, they "bet it all" on The Second Coming, which -- in the view of many (if not most) Christian conservatives -- requires catastrophic Armageddon to evoke the messiah's next visit when, supposedly, he will "put things right" again.
