“I think there are things about the world that make feel like not shocked if the Antichrist was walking among us,” Vance added.

Oh, you're so close, J D

This is Peter Thiel's ideology, almost verbatim.

He's only VP because Thiel interceded for him...

Closer than most physically, but so far from realization.

Hasn’t that always been the endgame for White Christian Nationalists?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

i had an interesting conversation with someone who i had viewed as a mentor growing up. we both walked away wondering where we'd lost the other one. in summary we were talking about deepwater horizon, as it was current news at the time. they mentioned that the world had to basically be destroyed before jesus came back so why bother. i told them in the language of the cult we'd been raised together in that weren't we supposed to take care of the environment? (and everyone clapped i'm sure, we were blocking half an aisle in costco).

but like, if i could rip a bandaid and make everything as magical as they believe it will be, i'd go for it. just, shit ain't squeeze that way.

Why can't they do everyone a favor and pull a Heaven's Gate? At least those guys didn't want to make everyone suffer with them.

Religion should disqualify a person from anything above a janitor.

Let's not pretend he believes anything he says.

Upvoted but you really should take them at face value on the revelations talk. They're not fucking joking.

edit: JD might be lying (IMO he's not) but his audience believe it 100% and they're being stoked towards violence at the institutional level https://streamable.com/2yj2tj (Link valid until 41 hours after this post. Download and share plz)

When I say take them at face value, it's cuz we're talking about people who literally believe God will call them to genocide you. IYKYK

Look, I understand the concern.

But these guys are actually a death cult. Just like Nazis were. Maybe we should, you know, point out that the rapists are murderers too.

If you support bringing the end times, you are supporting the anti-christ according to their religion. Therefore they’re going to be the ones left behind and headed for however many thousand years in hell until their god hits the reset button. Idiots can't even keep themselves on any side of their own religion.

[–] Bwaz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

He doesn't get that if there is an end time where each gets what is deserved, he will be going directly to hell, no pass go, no collect anything.

Many Evangelical politicians - notably George Dubya Bush - have the same POV. To them the chance to be big players in God's Great Plan is like lighting the torch in the Eternity Olympics.

[–] TwodogsFighting 4 points 1 day ago

Does it fuck. They just spout this bullshit because it will pull voters.

I believe in the tooth fairy more than these arseholes believe in anything at all.

[–] Kintarian@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Bring it on. Rapture all these fuckers up so I don't have to listen to them anymore.

[–] bloviate@lemmus.org 4 points 1 day ago

This is bad, m'kay?

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 33 points 2 days ago (1 children)

We've known for years that these Nationalist Christians wanted to bring about the end times, they're just finally at the point where they can finally say it out loud and not have to tap dance around it.

Fucking Nat-Cs, always have to make the world worse so they can get to the end of their fairy tale (despite knowing that they'll be left behind because they are the most unchristian people of all)...

Like in the Bible? Because that's not real

You know that and I know that but a truly shocking number of ostensibly responsible adults ... don't

navelstaring americans think the destruction of their shithole is the end of times.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The evangelicals are more likely thinking of the middle east rather than US. Biblical prophecy notes Israel being attacked as the key point of kicking off the end times. This is why accelerationists push so hard for Israel to get embroiled in violent conflct. Even if it is a counter attack, still counts by the prohpecy.

In America, they would likely describe things as "on the mend" as they are getting their way.

Because MAGA hates this cunt, and he wants to run for president in 2028. He is going after a group even worse than MAGA - American faux Christians.

[–] DillDough@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You know most of maga supporters also used to hate Trump right? He was a Democrat and best friends with the Clintons and a big city fat cat, they do not care about anything except what helps them spread hate more easily.

[–] likebudda@reddthat.com 6 points 2 days ago

It's their governing style after all.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I mean we're a joke of a country. There's no way around that at this point.

The majority of voters voted for this.

What a uniquely embarrassing time to be an American. History will look down on us, as it should.

Is that not what the US is doing now? They will vote GOP if the candidate went live on international news performing the most vile act anyone can imagine. Because they are in their end game.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 4 points 1 day ago

Of course, Satan will promote him if he does.

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Fuck you, Roger Stone, for bringing these abominations to power.
