What is utterly fascinating and also truly weird regarding the right-wing in the US is that they deeply believe that there is a God that supports them, and the Trump has been especially choose by this God to be his chosen one. They appear to view this supposed supernatural vote as confirmation that they hold the high moral ground. What naturally flows from this is a belief that political opponents, or in fact anybody who dares to question this narrative, is promoting dark nefarious satanic forces.
The consequence of this modality is that they have placed themselves beyond reason and debate. Criticism, of policy, even when evidence based, is deemed to be a personal attack. Fact is dismissed as myth, and myth is embraced as fact.
I use this weekly posting to throw a spotlight upon the prevailing insanity so that we can mock and laugh at it. No satire or exaggeration is required, their own words are wholly sufficient.
What Weird things popped up during the last 7 days?
The Cult Of Trump continues to spout delusional bullshit …
- Kat Kerr: Paula White’s Prayer Unleashed ‘Warring Angels’ for Trump… “The protesters were being bombarded by the hosts of heaven because the demonic was literally driving them; I could see it infecting them and inflaming them to scream out against what was [going on at the rally]. It didn’t matter because the hosts of Heaven were pulling down strongholds over these people because of the prayer that Paula prayed.” …
- (When your supposedly “demonic” opponents have facts and evidence of your corruption and incompetence, then you are on the wrong side)
- And also Kat Kerr again, at a speaking event last weekend, Kat Kerr led the congregation in declaring that Trump will win the 2020 election by a landslide …
- (right over a cliff)
- Right-wing pastor Mark Burns claims that he has been called by God to “show the world that [President Trump] is not a racist.” …
- (That’s not been going all that well for him so far).
- Steven Rogers, a member of President Trump’s 2020 Advisory Board, says that America is “being healed by the hand of God” through the president, who “knows that he is accountable to God Almighty.” …
- (his tongue is now bright orange after licking Trumps ass so much)
- ‘Anointed’ Trump Reaffirms His Promises to Religious Right Activists at ‘Road to Majority’ …
- Ralph Reed proclaims that there has never been a political leader that the Religious Right has “loved more than Donald J. Trump.”
- Bill Mitchell: Donald Trump ‘Has Been Given to Us by God’
- Lance Wallnau: ‘Jezebel Witchcraft’ Is Poisoning the Minds of Americans Against Trump …
- (No “witchcraft” required, his actual words and actions are wholly sufficient)
Just to point out how far these folks are from “normal”, this also happened this last week …
The 100% always wrong “prophet” tries to gain some leverage …
- ‘Firefighter Prophet’ Mark Taylor Says That Prophets Should Be Advising Trump … “President Trump should not be taking advice from evangelical leaders but rather should be speaking directly to “the prophets” …
- (Yes indeed, for this guy the crazy religious nuts whispering in Trumps ears are not crazy enough, he wants it all taken up to the next level of delusional)
Homophobia on steroids via angry religious bigots …
- Peter LaBarbera: Obergefell Was One of Supreme Court’s Most ‘Wicked’ Rulings …
- (the Obergefell v. Hodges, effectively legalized same-sex marriages in the United States, this is what he deems to be “wicked”).
- Don Boys continues his anti-gay crusade against Pete Buttigieg: … “He needs to inform us how his abnormal lifestyle may affect our nation if he is elected … Since homosexuals live shorter lives because of illegal drugs, abusive sexual practices, etc., will Pete assure the voters that he will not participate in any sexual practice that might limit his ability to serve his term if elected?”
- David Lane warns that …. “the goal of militant LGBT drumbeaters is unquestionably political, with their behavior representing acts of rebellion against a sovereign God, leading to anarchy. Electing and passing into law homosexual ‘values’ is their primary objective, in order to impose them on public and private education, the government and America’s churches.”
- Scott Lively declares that …. “America has been pushed inexorably by the leftist elites through the five stages of homofascism until today celebration of all things LGBT is the norm, forced participation in ‘gay’ culture is increasing rapidly, and punishment of dissenters is a virtual mandate of social justice in the minds of the millennials. God help us!”
Hating Hillary Clinton is still a popular hobby amongst this delusional demographic …
- Big League Politics’ Patrick Howley Says ‘It’s Very Clear’ That Hillary Clinton Is a Satanist …
- (fact Check: She is actually a devout Methodist).
- Dave Daubenmire confesses that he goes to bed every night expecting the government to raid his home and drag him away because of his attacks on Hillary Clinton.
- (His paranoia goes all the way up to 11)
Ridiculous conspiracies claims are also still popular …
- Paul McGuire: Mind Control Won The Gulf War … “The American military, using mind-control technology, attached an invisible rider on the AM frequency … that all these extremist Muslims would be listening to” …
- (I have visions of this guy literally wearing a tin foil hat to protect himself from mind control)
- Josh Bernstein insists that he is not a conspiracy theorist, even as he raises the possibility that the CIA shot down an American military drone in order to start a war with Iran.
- (As is traditional with all such conspiracy theories, his evidence for this is exactly zero).
Outrage is expressed regarding utterly daft stuff …
- Rodney Howard-Browne is outraged that some candidates spoke Spanish during the Democratic presidential debate.
- Kevin Swanson warns Christian parents against allowing their children to watch the new “Toy Story 4” movie.
