Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Oh yeah, pivoting to making him a religious prophet has been Plan B for a long time, and it will come back when he's out of office, even if he's being prosecuted. ESPECIALLY if he's being prosecuted. Having your prophet in prison offers a pseudo-martyrdom, without having to die.
During the Biden administration, Traitor-General Michael Flynn operated a traveling roadshow of conservative and religious speakers, called The Re-Awakening America Tour (wouldn't that make it WOKE?), and the overarching theme was that Trump is an actual religious icon.
One of the regular speakers was Lara Trump, whose speech claimed that she is in constant contact with God, that she SPEAKS directly with God himself, and God has told her that he has appointed Trump to be his chosen emissary to lead America into its Christian future. Trump didn't care much for Lara, until she started giving that speech. After that, he put her in charge of the RNC.
There is also the advantage that being a religious figure allows you to demand tithes, and there are no limits on religious contributions, unlike campaign funds. He can demand and accept any amount, from any country or corporation, and he doesn't even have to report it to the IRS. It's the perfect set-up for a conman and money launderer.
If Trump had lost to Harris, we'd be watching them elevate him to be equal to Jesus. If we manage to get him out of the White House, expect him to go full on religious whackjob. He'll think that Christians will demand his freedom, and even fight for it, and they probably will.
We could use a good religious uprising, and then we can crush those weirdos, too. Without MAGA or Religion fucking everything up, we might be able to have decent country.
