“But he tells it like it is and is a great businessman!”
or whatever…
And both of those statements are lies, lol
Their whole religion primed them from childhood to believe ridiculous lies.
This style of meme with loads of laughing emojis in the background is cringe
Kinda figured that was part of the joke - making fun of the boomer Facebook posts that it’s styled after.
Meme misses an important point about American Christians…especially the kind likely to support Trump. They yearn for the apocalypse. I grew up around these people. When I was 9 I was told a story about a fellow parishioner’s child who asked their parents, my dad’s friends, to stop the car on the interstate because she wanted to die to meet Jesus. Kid was like 6 or 7. This was told as a hopeful story…she loved Jesus so much she was ready to die at 6…isn’t that awesome?! I don’t know if the story was true, but the implications of it being a lie are almost worst…a child ready to die before their life started was being held up as a paragon of virtue to other children, presumably to entice similar behavior.
It’s the same reason they’re all so excited to shoot someone…everyone is ready to be the star of the action movie.
That’s why some are calling teaching religion to children child abuse. It can fuck up and damage people permanently being bombarded with all the bullshit from day one.
To be fair, the book of Revelations is considered apocryphal to most pre-KJV Christians.
Jesus did warn that people would pretend to be him, though. Don the liar certainly promotes himself as a modern Jesus in many blasphemous ways, and nationalist/conservative (i.e. stupid) “Christians” support that position.
