As if on cue, the Right has become as deranged and demented as the demon-obsessed Left, proving that the opposite of one bad thing is another equally bad thing.

Um, yeah, I told you so. Remember when I said that Pedogate is the revival of the 1980s Satanic Panic? Remember when I said the Left needs to fear Pedogate because the Right can and will use it as a thrust block in order to strengthen a failing, feeble Christianity? Remember when I said the best strategy for Leftists would be to re-open everything (this was in summer), back down from the classist People of Walmart crap and mask shaming, and to offer up a few celebrity scapegoats for sacrifice? Remember the multiple times I have said the Left acts like it wants its heads to decorate tall fenceposts in the next decade at the very latest?

The Left clearly did not listen to me and carried on with its anti-Trump hategasm. I suppose they thought engineering a win for Joe Biden would usher in the New Jerusalem, hence the parties in the street post-election night that drew a hundred plus times the participants as any Biden rally before or since. Nope, nothing fishy there, kindly ignore the woman in blond braids pulling boxes of ballots from under a table in the wee hours of election night. Please sweep the statistical impossibilities and massive reams of sworn affidavits under the big gaslighted carpet. Take your inconvenient truths about Hunter Biden and his 14 year old niece who he clearly groomed for many years prior. Never you mind reports that Hunter did creepy, blackmail-prone things to extremely young Chinese girls because he is a pathetic, overgrown, poor little rich boy who quickly becomes bored with his toys. Please ignore Zhi Jing Ping’s hand up Joe Biden’s pants, animating his every move as doctors swarm round, injecting Sleepy Joe with whatever serums they think will keep Beijing’s favorite puppet from drooling or visibly soiling his drawers on live television.

The Left asked for this and here it is: signed, sealed, and delivered.

Of course the Left aren’t the only ones who can act as if demons control the reins of their psyches. The only thing that keeps some Rightists from actually crowning Donald Trump God-Emperor is the nagging reservation that the Christian god might find it offensive. Look at any video featuring Tom Hanks, John Legend, or Chrissy Teigen and you’ll find multiple comments accusing them of pedophilia. Go to any video on Bitchute and you’ll find not only multiple comments featuring the vilest anti-Semitism uttered since Hitler’s Germany, you’ll find entire channels devoted to denying the Holocaust. The astral septic tank is real and toxic Christianity is about to make it a whole lot worse.

All of the unigod Piscean religions suffer an Achilles heel of intolerance. Islam, Judaism, and Christianity are fatally flawed. Just as none of them have achieved the total world domination they desire for the last 2000 years, all three will see diminishing returns as the Industrial Age sputters to a halt. Religions that do a better job of abiding by the limits of the Earth and aren’t so concerned about the end of the world will survive catabolic collapse. Keep in mind that Marxist, Socialist, and Communist movements share the Piscean flaw of fixating on the End Times instead of making the best out of the here and now.

The death throes of Christianity in particular have lasted for the last two hundred years. It kicked off with the Great Disappointment. Meanwhile, in 1840s Europe, peasant farmers, including plenty in Ireland, starved en masse. The horrors of Stalinism and Maoism were the convulsions of a dying aeon, last grasps at human onethink, one lifestyle to rule them all. Fast forward to the clown world of 2020, when Alex Jones screams about the New World Order as Mike Flynn and MyPillow dude bark about Yahweh’s divine lips brushing their ears.

Toxic Femininity vs. Toxic Masculinity

The Left is toxic femininity personified. Toxic femininity, like radioactive water, engulfs and poisons. Toxic femininity is marked by an inability and unwillingness to discriminate, whether that means pretending two biological genders aren’t the only choices we are granted or that anything said in disagreement is hate speech. The toxic feminine hate themselves and spend great amounts of money trying to escape from dealing with their self-hatred and cognitive dissonance. Toxic femininity papers over its own acidic hatred with positive platitudes, for instance the “Now that Biden is elected, it’s time to unite” schtick.

Contrarily, the toxic masculine love themselves in the worst way. They are proud. They assume they are God’s chosen and will invent all manner of delusional psychotic interludes with the "divine" in order to prove themselves right. They have the same persecution complex that the toxic feminine side indulges in, and they have no problem with hatred, they just don’t hate themselves. Their failure to discriminate is as legendary as what the girls dish out: just look at how they can ball up every celebrity, politician, and left-leaning individual into a great big Satanic cabal. One of the nit-picky reasons the Left gets into such a froth over Trump is his Biff Tannen arrogance. I remember how enraged I used to become at age 13 when I would see the popular girls in school sneering at everyone. I imagined they had perfect lives because they wore Guess? and Benetton clothes and seemed confident. Meanwhile I knew I was smarter than they were and just waiting to come into my looks, yet what tortured me endlessly was that secret confidence that granted them social superiority. Trump inspires similar ire and his enemies are arguably less mature than I was at age 13.

If Biden gets his cheat-win, and it certainly looks like he will get it, it will seal the doom of the Democratic party. If Democrats had any foresight, they would have let Trump win and regrouped for 2024. Trump was their only shot at keeping the fires of media outrage stoked. Biden is situated to become the focus of blame like an ant under a magnifying glass on a hot, sunny sidewalk. Their entire party is going to follow in his endangered footsteps, despite the fact Biden resembles a neocon warhawk (or at least he did before he confused his wife for his sister on a regular basis) and they enjoy creating autonomous methhead Neverlands in former business districts.  Orange Man Bad will rule the country from the sidelines, a martyr who golfs. Just as I don’t think Trump thought he would win back in 2016, I don’t think he will mind his early retirement in 2020, and his loved ones will certainly sigh in relief despite never being able to go back to a pre-Presidential life.

Biden > Trump and Lockdowns > Covid: Two Instances of the Cure Being Worse Than the Disease

The Left will be skating on ever-thinner ice as their TDS finds none of the usual outlets. Their cries of Orange Man ruining everything will be answered with inquiries and probes into Beijing Biden’s many compromises. If Biden is disposed of, the first female (half) black American President will have gotten there by way of disgrace. Harris will never be elected President. Harris’s presidency, if it happens, will be a sad, pockmarked milestone and not one that American women can be proud of. Harris, the original quid pro quo ho, was already a laughingstock when Tulsi Gabbard ripped her to shreds over her record of punishing parents of truants by sending those parents to jail.

An increasingly disenfranchised, insane Christian Right will find ready converts in the multitudes of formerly middle class people who have lost their jobs, homes, and bodily autonomy in the form of mandated vaccines. They’ll be all too ready to believe the hype about a New World Order that really ought to be dealt with lest their be a Great Reset along the lines of a conveniently depopulated Green New Deal. The demons of the Left will find easy prey in the suggestible, eager Right, who will be chomping at the bit to make a deal in order to get the revenge they crave.

Yeah, I skimmed through the video feed from the Jericho march. It was... really something. It makes me nervous to see so many people getting in front of microphones and declaring, with such certainty, that God has been talking to them. Sounds rather ghost-dance-ish, honestly.

IMO, regardless of what happens in DC, Evangelical Christianity in America has lost this round already, by going along with the COVID closings "til whenever". Because we're good people and we care, or something. Remember that famous Bible story where the Israelites defeated their enemies by displaying mass cowardice? Me neither.

There is that story, though, where Moses sends spies into the Promised Land, 11 out of 12 come back and say "Crap, the cities are big, the people are giants, they'll kill us all!" and then God sends them back to wander in the desert for 40 years until all the spineless wimps die off and the next generation can inherit the Promised Land.

Yeesh. It's heartening to see the handful of gym and restaurant owners engage in civil disobedience. So far, they get citations and licenses revoked, but when they take it to court, the state's case falls apart. The law is on the side of the business owners. And, I think it's very clear to the business owners that the threat is existential: if they stay closed, their business is done for, so they've got nothing to lose.

What's really depressing is that the churches, for the most part, can't see it. They think lockdowns will end, they'll open the doors back up, and everyone will come back. They're delusional. The longer people are away from church, the less likely they are to come back, ever. Church is all about habits, routine, ritual... for most people, take it away for six months or a year and most of them can't remember why they ever did it. And now they've got other things to do on a Sunday morning. A lot of churches are not coming back, after this. The ones with mortgage payments are probably already toast.

I'm lucky to be in FL, where we are not doing the lockdown polka anymore. But our bishop up in Atlanta is still sticking to GA rules about churchgoing, so we have to do all the masks-and-distancing theater at church still. After a year without going to confession, we finally talked to the priest (who is old and immune-compromised, so if anyone has a reason to follow the restrictions, it's him)-- like, hey, we know the bishop said we could do confession over the phone, but we just can't. Is there anyone in, like, a five-hour drive who's doing confessions in person? He basically said "screw it, come in for confession like normal people." (paraphrase). And so we did. It is nice that people are finally losing patience with this ridiculousness. The Metropolis' prohibition on coffee hour is also slipping. Nobody makes coffee of course, but more and more people are sort of lingering to chat after church, and cookies are starting to appear, magically, in the parish hall. Give it another six weeks, and it'll be everything but the coffee...

Far from over, IMO. I mean, I'm in FL, we're not locked down, masks are voluntary in most places... and I went to the post office today. Line all the way out the door, probably saw 40 people waiting to mail stuff (because Christmas), and I was one of four without masks. Even though the sign on the door simply said "masks recommended in our lobby" not required. Why are nine out of ten people so compliant??

Christmas shopping is deemed essential by the Canadian government, while protecting homeless people is not. It's baffling to me that getting a brand new TV is deemed essential, while homeless shelters are not. I volunteered for a homeless shelter, which is now closed because we can't do it with social distancing. And tonight it's going well below minus 15, and I'm willing to bet a lot of the people we work with are going to need to go the hospital.

The entire thing will end so badly....

That is insane! Are we really now so scared of covid that we think it's better to get frostbite?

Yep. I've had people tell me that this will save the homeless people's lives, because Covid would otherwise kill them; I had someone else ask how I thought this safe; I live on my own and would isolate if I thought it necessary....

This despite the findings at homeless shelters in Boston-- where a large percentage tested positive for covid antibodies, but none of them had been ill. Seems to indicate that they have very robust immune systems. I don't think that makes them frost-proof.

I'm fairly sure many have already frozen to death. As for the people benefiting, that's one of the saddest part of this: so many of them refuse to see it and insist they are suffering as much as a homeless person now freezing because shelters are shut down. I actually had a middle class former friend make that argument to me: because he wasn't able to drink coffee with his friends at work, he was suffering just as much as anyone else, so how dare I try to say he needed to factor in how these shutdown orders affected others...

Christianity is probably dead as a major force in American life, IMHO: the churches caved, and so will find most of their members have gone off to do other things when things reopen. What happens in January when Biden forces a national lockdown will probably seal the matter....

I wish I could argue with you, but it's exactly what I am seeing, too. Makes me sad.

I'd love to see it! But I suspect my parish will all be good little churchgoers and sit in their cars waiting for communion like the bishop has asked...

Which is a shame. There is an epic tale about an Orthodox parish up north, whose nice new priest excitedly went off to a conference advocating for modern ecumenism (unpopular among the lay faithful, to say the least), and returned to his parish ready to tell the congregation all about it... and found the locks had been changed in his absence. It has become a fable about the relationship between the laypeople and the church hierarchy: i.e. part of our job is to keep them in line!

I so want to see that in our parishes over the COVID nonsense.

We will be there for Christmas liturgy. In my fantasy world, everyone else will be there, too, we will quietly ignore the tape on the odd pews to make room, and we will celebrate the Nativity as it is meant to be celebrated.

I don't expect that, though.

I'm so afraid that you're right. I think our forbears, meeting by lamplight in the catacombs, risking arrest and the gulags... are probably deeply saddened by the state of Christendom in the modern West.

I don't think that's permanent: it's just that comfortable living makes us soft. Hard times seem immanent, and nothing builds robust churches like adversity. It'll be interesting to see what it takes to get out fat butts (metaphorically) back in shape.

Hi,

I have just watched this new interview with
Gen. Flynn.
He talks about what is happening in America.. and a lot more.

I hope you will watch it, too.

It is very good.

I think the scariest part is that it really looks like a polarity working. I don't know what effect to expect, but if it has one, it'll be really ugly, given both the intention and the fact that both emotions it uses, greed and wrath, or among the seven deadly sins for a good reason.....

The Religious Right has always been demon infested. Many believe that one should "contest with demons". There is only one result of such hubris.
