Caswell Thomas Posted February 28, 2024 Report Posted February 28, 2024 Trump mania is very akin to what Evangelicals have heard since the Civil War in their Preachers, particularly those whose followers accompany them from town to town, state to state, seemingly to set up a Tent, pass around new Flyers, (and the "Donations hat"), and listen to the new Word of THEIR God...one who only approves of their very narrow slice of Christianity , the Preacher buying into their gullibility and raking in the bucks as long as he can get them to donate, deflecting all their questions on where exact my their money is going by inventing a Demon or Devil pertinent to that Congregation, setting up a continuing reason to keep funding that program, then moving on to the next town, and repeating it, eventually building a Community of New Believers...and a Cash Cow . So why do they stay and fight the imaginary Devil or Demon? Why...when they know it likely isn't break do they stay? Because its a CULT of Stupidity and in that Cult they see themselves faith Power to fix everything wrong with their dull lives, and blame their hereditary enemies. They see the head Preacher as their Messiah and see no wring in what they do, who they are, or why they do it. Any story at all they are told by their Messiah they will jump on the band wagon and wave their flags , drink a bunch of beer, then fall stupified into their bforeds, wake-up, work at their dull.lives, and then "come awake" again when the Messiah starts speaking again, and again they donate their cash, because even if they have the sense to know their lives will not improve under the Messiah , they will continue to follow the course and donate until n they are broke because the Messiah IS the ONLY thing in their lives that they can rally around for H O P E, abd because they are too embarrassed to just say NO MORE to the preacher and move on...because their lives are so dull , they have nothing else, not do their neighbor's. Old things they used to derive fun from...like bowling leagues, like football games between rival companies they do "every year", like Cheerleader events run by aged Song leaders of the local High School from the prior decade, still daydreaming of high school crushes in yellowed photos hanging in grimy walled bars where " everybody knows" hangs out and get drunk on Saturday nights with Preacher, Messiah and the Donations Collectors. This decade has seen the arrival of such a Messiah. His name is Trump. The Preacher is like Johnson , and the sheep of the Republican party are the followers. Quote

My apologies for the typos, they are not mine, this sites editors are apparently purely Trump followers who delight deliberately in rewriting and misspelling what you say if you don't praise their Messiah in the mistaken belief that by doing so they attack the credibility of what you say but instead are seen as the 3rd graders mentality they display by such actions.
