Sadly Perilous Days for USA: Safe to say US life has become a bizarre mirage compared to the more wholesome America of just a few decades ago, which may even be an understatement. So much so, that famed journalist Hunter S. Thompson’s famous quote must apply: "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro". And leftists are pros at taking illogical and contrafactual positions on the most indefensible positions. And yes, in many ways, as the Left falls back into annoying and well trodden memes to brood and crab, profound change is afoot.
MAGA Maneuvers: Trump’s voracious MAGA legion now explores new territory to apply their fragile, yet sinewy majority for increasingly strategic, Star Trek 3-level chess moves. This unnerving pattern drives feeble minded foes to the very edge of insanity -- were they not encamped there already. Now consider some of the creative plays by Trump. His recent decisions to blow up Iran’s nuclear manufacturing which most declared successful; Trump’s strategy for seeking foreign investments, landing 20 $Trillion into USA, so far, and his landing a cease-fire between Hamas & Israel, and luring Dems to demand an Epstein core-fact dump now entangling Democrats only, and his feigned fear of Epstein which now increasingly entangles the Clintons, etc -- all look genius, etc.
Why Marxists Hate Christianity?!! First, Marx stated God was a hoax. So, we are hated because the Christian West defaults towards faith, is highly successful, and fights to keep its own identity. Observe Rodney Stark’s analysis: How Christianity Led to Freedom, Capitalism, and the Success of the West --
Moreover the medieval Christian faith in reason and progress was constantly reinforced by actual progress, by technical and organizational innovations, many of them fostered by Christianity. See Dominion: How the Christian Revolution Remade the World: Holland, Tom. Holland argues the miracle of Western Europe was a Christian accomplishment.
Political Religion: Discussing cultural implosions, consider Linda Raeder’s book, “Political Religion and the Death of God.” This book lays out the history, purpose and means of achieving the permanent power of progressivism over its political foes. Briefly: Within the history of the West is found the counter-development of philosophical ideals of astounding presumption which then are employed waging war against the Christian religion that founded the West. Be prepared for the weird! But fake Political Religion is the highest level of human deception.
The madman jumped into their midst and pierced them with his eyes. “Whither is God?” he cried; “I will tell you … God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him.” — Friedrich Nietzsche The Gay Science §125
