  • Not quite exactly like that, but the evangelicals only support the Zionist Jews in Israel (and encouraging Jews worldwide to make Aaliyah and settle there) because when Israel is fully controlled by Jews then Jesus returns and the rapture begins and all the Jews will go to hell and the Christians will be saved.

    That’s literally their belief. That’s why there’s Nazis seemingly supporting Jews. It’s not genuine support they’re just using them to make their crackpot religious beliefs come to fruition based on prophecies.









  • I think the right will revolt if pushed hard enough. A lot of trumps support isn’t genuine - it’s a lot of “reverse” lesser evil strategy. Most people I work with in a deep blue state (federally) voted for him. Of those, only two are actual trump supporters. The rest are mostly “apolitical” and don’t like him but saw him as less evil than Harris, who promised a continuation of much of the same failed policy as biden which was economically hurting my coworkers.

    I think one of my coworkers - straight, female, 30s, white, seemingly socially liberal - is a perfect microcosm into the average trump voter: Me: I’m surprised you voted for trump. Why? “my paycheck didn’t go as far under biden. I don’t like the guy but I’m struggling now more than ever.” Me: what about women’s reproductive rights? “I’m not worried, our state’s constitution protects it”Me: what would make you regret your vote? “if they went after the states right to abortion”

    This woman doesn’t hate minorities, doesn’t really care about immigration, is pro lgbtq, pro women’s rights. And she voted for trump because neoliberalism is bankrupting her. She’s not alone. The rabidly stupid base of trump supporters the media parades around because they act like a ridiculous cult are not the people who put trump in office. My coworker is the type who put trump in office. And if government services they or their loved ones rely on disappear or they’re kicked off of, there’s a real chance they might revolt.
