Im not religious anymore…

…but the Bible literally predicted this.

[–] Kookie215@lemmy.world 64 points 1 day ago (2 children)

As a former Christian, It's been SO hard keeping my non-faith while actively living at the same time as the Anti-Christ.

Dude REALLY wants to be the anti-Christ, and the "Christians" that put him in office want that too. They think they'll be rewarded for putting their fellow humans(& the planet) through hell, and bringing on the end-of-days sooner, rather than later.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 9 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

The Bible says there will be many antichrists. Anyone who contradicts Jesus' teachings, or misrepresents or misunderstands are antichrists. That would include misogynistic apostles. (1 John 2:18)

American Christians are pure evil but there’s a lot going on now that lines up with warnings issued in their book

If Obama had made a stupid meme dressed as the pope, "Christians" would have burned the White House to the ground, it would have literally started a war. Its absolutely INSANE to me how much this man gets away with. He's right, you really can do anything when you're rich.

It is white piece of human shit privilege.

[–] libra00@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Iono about the white part, Biden couldn't have pulled that off either.

[–] RonnyZittledong@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's really as simple as Trump hating the right people. He hates the same people that his voters hate and because of that he can get away with almost anything. Trump voters have been waiting a long time for a president that will openly and unapologetically spew hatred. They ignore the fact he is a narcissistic lying idiot who does not stand for almost anything religious people claim they care about.

I think with Biden they would have been pissed and took to the internet and Fox News about it, but the pure hatered for Obama was something that people are very easily forgetting these days. People legitimately believed he was the Anti-Christ and a Muslim. They would have actually rioted in the streets.

It must be embarrassing to be American.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 16 points 10 hours ago

It's way past that now.

[–] littlewonder@lemmy.world 12 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

It's the worst. Even on the state level. People in the state I'm from used to have a positive stereotype about them, so that I felt good about sharing where I grew up in conversation.

That state turned red and they've been legislating against anyone who isn't a white, straight, rich person. If people find out where I'm from, I have to do extra work to make sure people don't assume I'm a hateful idiot.

So that's what it's like, but on the international level now. I wish I had dual citizenship so I could at least travel internationally with a different passport (or relocate altogether). I know Americans have had a reputation of being rude or entitled abroad, but that's far better than people assuming I'm a Trump-loving, delusional, fascist.

So cringe to be american rn eeewwww and he was elected twice HAHAHAHAAHAHA embarrassing AF

He's distracting from the fact that he called for all Democrats to be removed from Congress. It's a smokescreen bc of how ludicrous it is.

As soon as the pope died I told my partner he would do this.

"Some say, not me, that I would be the best pope there ever was. I am the most wonderful christian man there is. The presidency has been very successful - just look at the polls! From today I declare myself POPE TRUMP!!! The DANGEROUS left will call me many nasty things, many bad things. They are deranged and nasty but I am now the pope and they will not do anything about it because they are WEAK. Some say Sleepy Joe Biden killed the pope, now I don't know if that is true, I don't think it is but it might be true, I don't know. KING POPE TRUMP 2028!!!"

Trump has said that although he was “confirmed at a Presbyterian church as a child, I now consider myself to be a non-denominational Christian.”

Uhhhh....he's not even Catholic? That's kinda a prerequisite for THE LEADER OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH!

He's completely trolling, right? I mean it's gotta be cover for something happening that he wants to distract people from. He can't be that stupid that to think he can actually be Pope......can he?

[–] i_dont_want_to@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 14 hours ago

He's no stranger to becoming leader of something while having no idea how it works.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 21 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

I don't think he's trolling, I think he's just that stupid.

[–] clutchtwopointzero@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago

I guess he was thinking covfefe while telling the social media specialist to post it

Trump, that's not how it works.

Just because you ordered Vance to assassinate that old man doesn't mean you're the Pope. Vance, as his slayer, is the Pope now, so you have to kill Vance.

Pretty sure this is now illegal in Texas

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

It's only illegal for Democrats. Republicans won't be prosecuted.

To be fair he is a molester

[–] Charlxmagne@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Again, this fully convinces me he definitely did NOT order the assassination of the pope.

What did it say that the president of the USA is non-stop pulling attention seeking stunts like your crazy aunt on Facebook? Guess it must be lonely being surrounded by sycophants.

[–] lenuup@reddthat.com 15 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (2 children)

Nah, he is just ~~gaslighting~~ overwhelming everyone. Tons of insane and insulting shit to occupy the media and people, so that he can pull all the stunts he he wants. Drowning everything in noise so that no one knows what to focus on anymore.

Don't get me wrong, he is batshit insane bud there is a certain method to his madness.

Edit: Looks like I was using 'gaslighting' incorrectly.

[–] cynar@lemmy.world 8 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

It's a terrifying mix of a Gish gallop (a stampede of lies and half truths, delivered so fast they can't be countered) and razzle dazzle (camouflage via a swarm of irrelevant or counter intuitive points).

It's terrifyingly effective, and very difficult to counter.

This guy reminds me of that movie Little Nicky where Satan’s son comes to earth and is preaching to a church congregation (while standing in a pizza? Am I remembering this accurately?).

He even paints his face orange like the devil lol

Edit: Here it is

[–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 10 points 1 day ago

Yes please take him as the Pope and remove him from the presidency.

[–] Breezy@lemmy.world 10 points 5 hours ago
[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 9 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Also, not news in my opinion. Sorry.

[–] quetzaldilla@lemmy.world 12 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Exactly.

It's all meant to make people outraged and distracted, and we all keep falling for it.

Please let's not entertain completely absurd shit like that.

Imagine every time your boomer aunt posted that same shit Trump does on her Facebook it ended up in the news-- it's clearly delusional and giving it attention gives it validity even if it is only criticisms.

I say we nominate him for Sainthood...

[–] aturtlesdream@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Okay, he can be the pope if it means he is no longer president. There is slightly less damage he can do that way!
