Dual threats
We raised the alarm yesterday both about Donald Trump’s Nazi-adjacent eliminationist rhetoric and his “concentration” on creating detention camps in a second term. We have also spread lots of pixels describing the New Apostolic Reformation that views Trump as an instrument of God.
Trump and Stephen Miller want to lock up and deport all immigrants not to their liking, and to eventually cut off paths to immigration for the same. That’s the political cleansing of America they seek. But the Seven Mountains people backing Trump want religious purification as well. They will dismiss any and all his personal, political, and criminal failings to advance that end.
All of them, they don’t want to govern, they want to rule.
There will be cracks on the road to Christian Dominion and local infighting, as Fred Clarkson details at Salon. Plus a healthy dose of wishcasting and Christian soldiers cosplay. But right now these people hold actual political power in the Speaker of the House.
Janine Melnitz : Yes, of course they’re serious…
Think they’re not serious? Remember Jan. 6? That was a small group of (for the most part) poorly organized political-religious zealots as well. The few who were better organized meant to overturn the presidential election and perhaps hang the vice president and House speaker.
Yes, they may be a small group of self-inflated cranks, but they are not kidding, as the video below reveals.
After that, a dose of constitutional principle.
