Trump vs The Priest…

Cat’s Lives

Well-known member
Though you could argue that politics has been in the sewer for a while. And that there may be deeper depths plumbed…

The attack of a President on a priest calling for mercy for vulnerable men, women and children has punched a hole in my spirit.

Every contextual angle you could add, Trump is performative, he’s a man child, church vs state, evaporates in the words she spoke and the words with which he has responded.

I’m not religious and would likely not be the first to see religions expanded or handed any special privilege - but I do respect the right of people who choose to worship.

The hatred, which I already knew existed in Trump and the far right, has hit me like a tonne of bricks. The attacks that woman is facing online is a barrage of anti-humanity by the vilest of people. I have no doubt she will face physical and in-person retribution.

I’m fairly well versed in politics and have worried about the rise of the far right for a while. I think it’s hard to escape now. We’re past the event horizon. The hatred and opprobrium of the mob is the new currency and reason and compassion will become a social and political debt.

I see no other outcome. Any kind of reasonable point of view will be wiped out by this tsunami and we’ll see more far right Governments across Europe. Perhaps this will reset the national consciousness and we’ll come out of the other side, in a couple of decades, with a healthy respect of compassion, and decency, and liberalism…and perhaps democracy.

But those couple of decades will be torture if your face doesn’t fit, or you don’t make the top x% cut off. I wish this would be confined to four years…but I fear the genie is goose stepping out of the bottle.
 
Remember when he was begging Christians for votes? I bet a lot of good people were sucked in and are now regretting their choices. The man and the people behind him are lunatics and psychopaths running the asylum.

The sad thing is.. the choices are so limited.

No way on gods green earth earth is Trump the best that the US can offer up.. Biden was shocking too.

We’re no different btw.. we’re definitely on the same path.
 
That's how it goes with cults. No objective or conventional sense of morality, only the interests of the cult leader. So right and wrong are replaced by pro or anti Trump.
 
Some brightspark decided to release her address, so that they can send her good will messages, I really fear that the nutjobs that support Trump might do the opposite. I saw saw a thing yesterday, have you ever ever seen Trump say something actually intelligent regarding anything? He should be in jail.
 
Unreal how folks are just accepting all the total bullshyt.

How does anyone in their right mind let Elon musk off with seig hailing? at a presidential inauguration no less.

unreal
How does any cult of personality excuse their leader’s words and actions? I think the Americans are more predisposed to it due to their religious and political indoctrination practically from birth as well as a deep mistrust of the state since the days of McCarthyism. As you said earlier, we’re on the same path with many falling for the same propaganda techniques of trust nobody. Believe one conspiracy and it’s easier to believe the next.
 
Thankfully the trumps, putins and other criminals of this world are well in their later years, we won’t have to put up with them for much longer. 🤞

It doesn’t.. how can a country that prides itself on democracy.. have such a shyt one? At least we have an excuse.. we’ve still got the monarchy and all of the underlying institutions.

The greatest nation on earth.. but they put some crack pot reality show meds in as president.

They won WW2 didn’t they? Isn’t that what all the movies say? Yet they’ve got a South African billionaire doing Nazi salutes..

Freedom of speech.. another foundation of the great United States of America..
Well.. unless you criticise Musk or Trump on twitter.. and don’t expect to criticise them on facebook either.

But freedom for politicians to say and do what they want.

Land of the free? Home of the slaves.

Trump has got he family lined up to take over.. and Russia is never short of a nutjob.

Maybe they’ll borrow a Trump?
 
Yet 18 per cent in the UK wanted him to win the election - and no doubt a few on here too - some of whom absolutely adore him

Reform got 14 per cent in the UK election
ANY subject on Facebook gets turned into slagging off Starmer/Labour

Polls have them neck and neck

This isn’t going away - the complacency shown will only let them grow

The difference between real Christian belief and the American version is like night and day…
 
"American Christian" is God, very closely followed by guns, $$$$$ and sex.

And ultimately reading between the lines in the Bible to suit whatever narrative they push against whoever they fancy......
