https://www.rawstory.com/god-made-trump-video/'Trump promoted a video that flat-out declared that "God gave us Trump" as His personal representative to lead the United States of America...the video declared that God needed Trump to "fight the Marxists" in America...The video then purported to quote God as saying, "I need somebody with arms strong enough to wrestle the Deep State and yet gentle enough to deliver his own grandchild."
Elsewhere in the video, the narrator declared that "God had to have somebody willing to go into the den of vipers, call out the fake news with their tongues as sharp as serpents, the poison of vipers is on their lips... so God made Trump."'
My words: Watch the video at your own risk. I did not.

(11,744 posts)"We are strong, but our enemy surrounds us and oppresses us" "We are perfect and destined to rule, but our enemy is clever and deceitful".
Classic "strongman/victim" dichotomy. It isn't logical at all. We need to stop thinking about it as a logical construct. It is meant clearly and specifically to arouse the emotions of pride, fear, and anger. It is meant to pull people in based on a shared identity, a glorious past and future, to have them shut themselves off from the "evil outside world" and to arouse fear, anger, and prepare them for violence.

(2,840 posts)off the "evil outside world." We'd all be so much better off. They sure don't accept the old teaching of "my kingdom is not of this world."
I hit all the major churches as a kid through young adult, and a lot of the smaller charismatic ones, too. My grandmother was a traveling preacher. We played music at the churches, as well. Not one of them ever talked about taking on worldly power... that was about the biggest taboo that could be had... even moreso than sex.
ETTD... and I think the evangelical/charismatic churches may just discover that abbreviation holds for them, as well. The millions of people who have dropped off the Southern Baptist roles is incredible. And young people are not joining... they're opting out of religion for spirituality, according to the latest PRRS (geez... I hope that's the right acronym for that churchy poll).
If *T took out those churches, it would be fine by me. Let them go back to being the small building communities they once were. Or out of the religion business altogether.
And once we finally get a handle and can start really moving legislative changes along which have to be made... such that this maga crap never happens again... let's start revisiting that Tax Free status they enjoy so much. With as much politicking as has been done, and as much public money thrown at churches and church schools... as well as private schools... I think we need to start clawing back some of those dollars from all their political rallies -- Sundays and all. JMO.

TWO words that should begin EVERY discussion of TFG. TRAITOR and RAPIST.
The end.
Sick of all of this other bullshit and blather.
I was the head skunk at every party this Holiday, and I don't care.
I interrupted every discussion with the two magic words, and I think that every Democrat or Liberal pundit or lawyer should begin every discussion with- Donald J. Trump is a Traitor and a Rapist.... now I'll take your question.

(2,752 posts)There are at least 500 children still missing who were separated from their parents at the border, in spite of all the Biden administration has done to reunite parents and children who were parted. I read at least one news report of at least one planeload full of girls on a red-eye flight to Miami. Of course the red-eye flights are cheaper. But Miami is an international trafficking hub. Then there was the news crew in New York that got wind of the arrival of a group of children at a shelter late one day. They weren't allowed close and the children were removed somewhere else pretty rapidly. Always made me wonder. So much secrecy and hiding. They were secretive with many of the adults too, perhaps because they were keeping them in office buildings as the numbers escalated and finding space became an issue.

(8,806 posts)Watching WW2 in Color and Apocalypse WW2 on Smithsonian. All the leaders of those monsters played the God card.
Interestingly the Emperor of Japan was deemed their God on Earth. And was worshipped as such.
He did not Govern, just rode the wave and lived the life of worship, and his generals ran the country. And God anointed them all. And all the citizen cultist gleefully died for them all, from Japan to Germany to Italy.
They all went down in flames as did millions in the cults before defeat. And we have propaganda like German did, (actually whole networks with talking heads like Hannity and Tuckums and Bannon AND Churches). Maybe we will luck out and they will poison themselves to avoid consequences. But damn no need to kill 6 daughters for your shit. Do we believe the world will come here to take out our God cult leader, hell bent on owning the world, while millions die to rid the world of him? Leaving a flattened country. Will the Good Guys drop two big bombs on us to end the reign of another God in Charge walking the earth?

(10,839 posts)It is pure sacrilege for anyone who takes religion seriously. To compare any man to God is delusional but to compare this man to God is blasphemy without parallel.
The vid is compilation of lies and distortions. It also dings Melania with 'lunching with the ladies' while Don the Grifter works his heart out for the country, then shows her nearly tripping on their way to the Presidential Helicopter.
Got a clear feeling, wifey-poo is on Trump's 'bad' list which belies this nonsense that she's going to make her mark in the 2024 election. Unless that's the Mark of the Devil she's aiming for.
The whole thing was creepy as Hell.
