Holy shit his followers are cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs!

They really think if we get rid of 45 it will bring on Armageddon. This woman just told me I was evil and going against God & that God was not happy with my kind and that she and her kind would be plucked up and 'saved' and me and my evil kind would be left here and destroyed in Armageddon. Then she talked about how everyone is deserting poor brave 45 and he is trying to fight the evil all alone. What the heck is wrong with their brains? They are NUTS. I just told her " Lady he IS the evil and hung up.

Looney tunes they are. I have redneck relatives, but FWIW, they're not, at least, adding some weird religious interpretation to the whole thing....Gotta be thankful for small things.

shouldn't they WANT Armageddon/the Rapture to happen? Is she really saying she is not interested in being plucked up to heaven without even having to go through the pain of death?

In fact, if bringing on the Rapture means Trump supporters will be magically removed from Earth, I'd be more than willing to deal with the Four Horsemen. Sounds like win-win to me.

Thus in their beloved republican Draft Dodger-in-Chief, Comrade Casino, many republicans feel they are at long last being rewarded for holding fast to their shifty, sleazeball "values."

...I was "taken to the shed" today, too, by a friend of 30 years. He's been lashing out a bit at me in FB for my anti-trump memes and posts, taking them very personally and asking me why cant I just shut up and give Trump a chance? What about all the good stuff he's done, yada yada.... Then this morning he sent me a FB message saying he'd "reviewed" (??!!!!!) all my FB posts and all my Trump posts were negative, then a long rant about Trump shit I skipped through, ending with "Goodbye, my wife and I will pray for you"! What a cliche!

They're feeling stupid for having been duped, but rather than admit that voting for him was stupid, they're lashing out at us for pointing it out.

And whatever mental gymnastics they're using to connect Trump to God, and righteousness is.......well, it's beyond my ability to fathom!

It's not just Trump but senility seems to be setting in while they are in their early and mid 70's.

They think that liberals are attacking them personally, so they dig in their heels. It's about identity.
