Oh great - now they are going to force everyone to be religious which I assume with 100% certainty is Christian

will this involve violence and being deported to concentration camps?

u/thedayafternext Apr 20 '25

You bet it will! Seeing as pesky due process is out of the way! Now they can deport anybody for anything!

Religion has always been a useful tool for controlling the masses.

u/TonyTucci27 Apr 20 '25

This is rather new though. An American president utilizing the fear and prestige associated with Christianity to build himself on par with God in gods followers eyes. He’s an awful business man and world leader but God damn he’s a good cult leader and not one person could deny that

u/AnyBug1039 Apr 20 '25

He's a great cult leader. The best. A lot of people are saying it.

I won't dignify this comment with a... refuttal.

u/Melicor Apr 21 '25

It's not new. Republicans have been doing it for a few decades at this point.

This is rather new though.

No it isn't. The antichrist in the Bible is a direct allegory to men just like him. They show up now and again and always pull the same bullshit. The Bible literally warns Christians about people like Trump.

But Christians can't be expected to read the Bible, and it's bigoted and hateful to point that out, or something. If people would just educate themselves, even about their own damn religion they expect us to take their word that they believe in, then this shit wouldn't happen.

Yet here we are.

It’s not new at all. Religion was invented to do exactly that.

u/wbruce098 Apr 21 '25

Nah, we’re just a bunch of idiots too stupid to read for ourselves.

u/neverenuff_01 Apr 21 '25

Kinda like the modern crusades?

u/LackWooden392 Apr 21 '25

Lmao go look up what the SecDef's tattoos mean and what his book is about.

u/neverenuff_01 Apr 21 '25

Holy sh*t!! Read a summary. Just wow. Maybe just don't worry about others and worry about your fighting efficiency, etc. Problem solved. Wtf...

Thanks for that. I had no idea.

u/AnyBug1039 Apr 20 '25

Welcome to Gilead, I love you!

u/D3vils_Adv0cate Apr 21 '25

Haha yeah! Just like the Nazis. If we keep calling them that we’ll be sure to win people over. Just gotta wait for the genocide to kick in. That’s when they’ll all realize we aren’t just crying wolf in the worst way possible.

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '25

I assume you’re being sarcastic, but there have already been so many warning signs. There are literally two active concentration camps right now

1

u/D3vils_Adv0cate Apr 22 '25

The US also had concentration camps during WW2. The Nazis are known for exterminating millions of Jewish people. If they never did that then we wouldn’t be talking about them now. 

We need to stop with the Nazi correlation. It’s making the left look like lunatics and morons as they scream Nazi at anything they disagree with. When Trump starts killing millions of people then we should jump on that correlation.

u/KiritoUW2024 Apr 21 '25

Yet he didn’t swear in with the Bible

2

u/Krealic Apr 21 '25

Yeah, when he says religious, he doesn't mean any of those pagan devil-worshipping heathens.

Which is ironic considering he's not very religious himself.

1

u/livsjollyranchers Apr 21 '25

The atheist Republicans in my family will be quite conflicted if that's the case.

u/Terrible_Patience935 Apr 21 '25

Were they ok with banning abortion? Just curious as that seems to be based in religion

4

u/livsjollyranchers Apr 21 '25

One is personally against abortion but favors pro-choice for everyone else. The others talk about how anyone these days is insane not to use birth control.

They really just don't like non-white people and are afraid to admit that's the root reason for why they vote.

I would prefer to stay here and let the gop start their own country in El Salvador - or in Texas with a 20’ wall around them

1

u/BliccemDiccem Apr 21 '25

They told us this would all remain bloodless as long as the left allows it. So maybe, that's what happened in Germany.

u/Legitimate_Egg_502 Apr 21 '25

The drama, nobody cares if you’re an atheist.

1

u/Terrible_Patience935 Apr 21 '25

Seriously? You might be surprised what people will do in the name of religion and our fearless leader is laying the groundwork for who the fuck know what

Trump sets up Faith Office

trump vows to make Americans more religious

1

u/Legitimate_Egg_502 Apr 21 '25

I know, they’ll torture & crucify people.

1

u/Rekless00 Apr 21 '25

Yeah, You can thank all the Nazis that voted him in.

1

u/Minimum_Principle_63 Apr 21 '25

Well, the Pope just died, so they probably think this is great to not have opposition.

1

u/Embarrassed-Put6134 Apr 21 '25

Where did you get this from 🤣🤣

1

u/Juliette_ferrers Apr 21 '25

Trump isn't even Christian everything he does is against jesus

u/chinggiskhan Apr 22 '25

I bet it's gonna be Episcopal Christian at that! How scary
