Trump Energizing Evangelical Christianity with Messiah Narrative, Rebranding as Savior of the Jews

Based Trump is a messiah sent to save the Jews.

Freaking triggered snowflakes looking for a safe space for when the messiah of the Jews saves them from homophobic Palestinian infants.

The Guardian:

Donald Trump, now facing a tougher challenge in the US election after Joe Biden stepped down in favor of Kamala Harris, is increasingly leaning into religious extremism aimed at energizing a key section of his support base: socially conservative Christians.

Fears that Trump would be an authoritarian leader if elected seemed to be realized last week, when he told a group of Christian supporters they “would not have to vote” in four years if he becomes president.

I don’t even think he meant what they imply that means.

I think he meant that he would fix everything so hard that it wouldn’t even matter anymore.

But I don’t really understand the statement exactly, and I’m not trying to defend the messiah of the Jews.

“My theory would be that since Harris has entered the race, Trump has recognized that he’s on shakier ground,” said Matthew D Taylor, author of The Violent Take It by Force: The Christian Movement That Is Threatening Our Democracy.

“If you watched the RNC and saw the discourse there, [Republicans] really were quite confident that they were going to kind of have a cakewalk to victory in November.

“I think there’s, there’s more anxiety there now. I think Trump is dialing up religious dog whistles, and sometimes just straight up whistles to really galvanize and submit that religion’s religious support.”

Over the past couple of weeks, as Harris has posed a threat that Republicans apparently didn’t see coming, and Trump has been questioned over appointing JD Vance as his running mate, he has looked for the support of these religious groups.

The speech at Turning Point’s Believers’ Summit, a gathering of Christians and Republicans that had the stated aim of “ultimately turning our nation towards the Lord”, was the furthest Trump has gone yet in appealing to this Christian base.

Taylor said there is a distinction between Christians who merely support Trump and those – like the people at the Believers’ Summit – who have a “religious attachment” to the former president. Those people, who include an array of religious leaders, see Trump in religious terms and have attached “spiritual narratives” to him: one example being the comparison of Trump to King Cyrus, who, according to the Bible, liberated the Jews from Babylonian captivity, despite himself being a Persian ruler.

The real goal with Trump’s appeal to this crowd is about more than just winning individual votes, Taylor said.

“I think the more overt Christian appeals are maybe a little bit of desperation, but also it’s a tried and true method for them, of drumming up more and more support and the truth is the religious voters who have a religious attachment to Trump are not just voters – they’re force multipliers,” Taylor said.

“If somebody believes that it is God’s will for Donald Trump to be elected, and they believe that there are demonic and satanic forces pushing back against God’s will, and that they need to be active and pushing against [those things] to see Trump elected. That is a level of political fervor and ardency that is very, very valuable to a candidate, because those are people who are then talking to their friends, who are then mobilizing some of these groups.”

The assassination attempt, Taylor said, “added even more certainty for these folks that God wants Trump to be elected”.

At the Republican national convention, held days after the shooting, speaker after speaker leaned into this idea that God had been at work.

Yeah, that seems to have been the point of the supposed “assassination attempt,” which still has not really been explained at all.

Trump did a good job bringing abortion whores and faggots and other sickos together with these evangelical cult freaks.

Cool political bloc.
