I 'm sorry to report that the American race to the bottom continues. The above is not a satire, but rather a post by Trump on his social media platform and will no doubt find an eager and receptive audience.
Sadly, the deity does not come off well here. Perhaps a celestial defamation lawsuit is in order? I imagine the punitive damages would be severe.
How is that not satire? So warped. Unfortunately, I can imagine the awe-struck faces of his followers feeling like they have a special audience with God through Trump, and that's terrifying!
ReplyDeleteWithout doubt, this will win yet new converts to Trump's 'holy' cause, Marie.
Deletethought it was a brilliant parody until I read the rest of the post.

Thank you for the recommendation, Anon. I shall look for the book. There is no doubt in my mind that the U.S. is heading toward theocracy, something akin to what exists in Iran. I suspect the irony would be lost on most of the MAGA crowd.
DeleteI have long since gone blind to the madness of the right. How it subdued and submitted (to use Wrestling terms) previously sane conservative proponents of, shit policies but at least, democracy (a much smaller pool of people than I imagined). This is yesterday's news. We need to wake up and shake it off. It's coming here with Pee Pee. It is.
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed sad, Brian, that an increasing number of Canadians are embracing the unhinged mindset of Americans. PP has found his people and is cultivating them assiduously.
DeleteLife is so easy when you're convinced that God is on your side, Lorne. It's so easy to be wrong.
ReplyDeleteLord save us from those without doubt, Owen.
ReplyDeleteStephen Harper's moral certainty. I'm sure Skippy has less of it, but he's pandering to people who don't.
ReplyDeleteThe righteous shall lead the way, eh John?
