Trump isn’t long for this world. The American empire is starting to crack. Huge swaths of white protestant Americans are fully on board with Christian nationalism. Distrust of science and education is fully mainstream with christianized new age woo woo and antivax shit only growing in popularity. Climate change will only worsen, and more disasters will happen. The aforementioned huge swaths of white protestants climate change denial is already a part of their core beliefs. We’re one charismatic sermon away from evangelicals deciding the USA is the holy land and incorporating Americas founding myths and “values” into a new version of the Bible. Basically Mormons 2. I could be wrong, that such a movement won’t be so widespread. But it’s gonna happen one way or another.
I really think a significant amount of the evangelical wild turn is tied to the perceived success of Donald and a prosperity gospel belief that success is vindicating. I don’t see these people sticking with this form of Christianity if the US starts facing undeniable humiliation.
Ah but you forget, if they are successful, it’s because god loves them, but if someone else isn’t successful, it’s because they’re an evil sinner, BUT if they aren’t successful, it’s because Satan is ruining things for them, probably via allowing minorities to exist.
Also if someone else is successful it might be because they are making deals with Satan.
1/3 of the US is going to pay $8/gallon at the pump, file bankruptcy for the family business tariffs destroyed, cheer on a gestapo being unkind to the foreigner (Leviticus 19:34 ), and personally watch Trump pilot the economy and empire straight into a ditch, and still say dumb shit like “God is punishing us because disney lesbians”.
it’s been over 100 years since the 7th day adventist prediction was wrong. don’t underestimate the ability of religious freaks to keep believing stupid shit even when their faces are rubbed in it.
Going to go door to door to get donations to fund a Jehovah’s witness protection program
Jehovah’s witness protection program
lmao
The Apocalypse has a genius touch where the Antichrist must come first and deceive people into thinking he is Christ before the Real Christ returns. It ensures anyone with two braincells avoids the title.
That’s not to say the prophecy won’t eventually be fulfilled by some evangelist.
If you wanna use it cynically, can’t you just say “yeah the last famous guy [Trump in this case] was the antichrist and that’s why things suck now, but I’m the real deal”?
People do that with people they don’t like all the time but it never actually sticks because the accused never claimed to be Christ. You don’t want to be the first person claiming to be Christ.
As funny as that is you know that’s not what I mean.
Recursively, Obama was the antichrist, so that’s why Trump was the real christ.It’s antichrists all the way down
What we need is an anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-Christ to push the dialectic forward
it’s more likely than you think 
I’ve always maintained the Mormons are the Word Bearers of the American Empire, but the question remains: who will be the Abaddon to Trump’s Horus?
isn’t trump already? all of the christofascist leaders i’m aware of seem to need to be some sort of messiah.
Doooom
DOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
Finally, the beast rises and we will receive our marks.
It’s gonna be Austin Butler from Eddington
What is that creepy demon face megachurch preacher guy doing these days? How old is he? I could see someone like that taking over the party.
Joel Olsteen? It is rumored he’s still drowning people in his baptism bath for getting too close to the vaults where he keeps his money.
I think he’s talking about Kenneth Copeland, who talks about demons all the time, but is, himself, a demon:
Ok well Joel Olsteen kinda looks like he could be his son, maybe they breed them in a vat somewhere.
Utah, its what happens to the mormons that cant hack it in the fbi
I mean Joel Osteen is also a probably a demon. I wonder if prosperity gospel just leaches out your life force the longer you do it.
Last night on my way home from work I met a stranger and we started talking about jobs and buildings and the climate, I was mentioning the petrodollar and how it was wavering, and she said “I think in the next 10 years we’re going to see political and lifestyle changes that are bigger than what we’ve seen in 100 years”.
People can feel the upheaval coming.
I think they’ll try that and they’ll fail because it’ll be too ugly and dorky to appeal even to Christo-fascists. I can’t prove this, it I think there’s a lot of dweebs like Vance who got into Catholicism and religion in general via Warhammer 40k. Their relationship to faith is purely an aesthetic one. I think whatever mega church bullshit they cook up will try to borrow from opulent catholic aesthetics, goldleaf and angels everywhere, but with lighter and more optimistic tone. Touches of art deco maybe.
It will fail because anything they construct in the real world will go over budget and dramatically under-deliver because it will be built by developers scamming contractors who were already scamming their subcontractors. The online space will lack any distinct visual identity because everyone involved will wanna insert their own little AI generated bullshit into it until it’s an eyesore visual mishmash. There is zero chance anyone involved in it will actually listen to what any gay Don Draper wannabe that they hire has to say about “visual language” and “brand identity”.
