Every day that Trump evades justice adds to the MAGAt belief that tfg is their new Messish

Not hyperbolic in the least.

Don't believe it? Watch this:

https://democraticunderground.com/1017768424

tl;dr: A shockingly significant number of MAGAts truly believe that tfg is the "Son of Man," annointed (and protected!) by God, that America is the "New Israel," and that tfg will precipitate Armageddon. These folks so badly want Armageddon to happen, even if it's a self-fulfilling prophecy!

They think tfg is under divine protection, which is why he never faces any consequences. And they aren't bothered by his low character, because they think it just amplifies their God's ability to use even the basest of vessels.

It's crazy. But honestly, no more crazy than most other religions.

Seems to me that the Book of Revelations (and some Ezekiel) are directly responsible for most of the wanton destruction of this planet and it's inhabitants. Convincing people that it's OK if the Earth is destroyed because God will build a better one, just encourages really bad behavior.

It wasn’t some spontaneous thing the crowd did!

Donald Trump asked rally attendees to pledge their support to him, and photos of the event compared the scene to Nazi Germany. He was seen pre rally telling his ppl what to tell the crowd to do and when.

It won't bring Jesus back or transfigure them out of their socks, but that won't help the rest of us trying to live here on planet Earth.

Indictment? Trial? Conviction? Incarceration?

Sorry but none of that is going to do it. The deluded will continue to be marks.
