Oh you gotta read left to right, top down
Less than you think, I have a very specially curated algorithm on Pinterest and just post them here. I know it ruins the magic of thinking I make them but I’ve always tried to be up front that I don’t make these, I don’t want to steal credit from someone else’s genius.

1·5 days agoI find it more likely Trump lied in the first place about stopping wars, rather than other people egging him on

1·5 days agoJust to clarify, you’re asking if Trump wants to stop the wars but Congress is keeping them going?

1·6 days agoSo he lied or, like that other person said, the rest of the government stopped him.
Maybe I’m more jaded but I assume all politicians lie, will say things to get elected, or at the very least don’t fulfill all the promises they make.

1·6 days agoSo if Obama, in your opinion, is only definitively worse on immigrants than trump, and everything else is a tie/debatable or worse, then why are you bringing him up? Why not Biden? Why Obama out of nowhere if, by your own admission right now, Trump is worse?

Progressive Politics@lemmy.world•Why the American Evangelical Right is fixated on kick starting the Rapture (and why the new Atheist Right is helping them.)
28·7 days agoI feel like you didn’t quite cover the motivation and reasoning, so I’ll try to throw this in here with my limited scope of knowledge.
So the goal for these people is specifically the Rapture. For them, it’s a get out of death free card. They genuinely think that if the rapture happens, they can skip the unpleasantness of dying and go right up to heaven in perfect heaven bodies, and can gleefully watch bad people burn and suffer on Earth.
Their problem, as they see it, is that it only is supposed to happen right before the apocalypse, and that no one knows when that’s supposed to happen exactly. But there’s signs for when it’s supposed to kick off, like the Jews rebuilding the temple and sacrificing a bull on it or something.
That’s a big reason why they pushed for Israel to be founded, because they want that big sign to finally happen.
So for years evangelicals pushed for their congregations to get jobs in politics and get as much political power as possible, so they could stack the deck as much as possible to get governments to jump start the end of the world. That’d why so many politicians talk about God and Christian values, because for the politician it’s an important voting block to appeal to if they want elected, or they are a plant from these churches.
They don’t care about the future of the planet, because to them it doesn’t matter anyway, it’s all going to be burned up. Throw in prosperity gospel, and then you have the idea that clearly God wants you to destroy the planet for money because God is rewarding you with fat stacks.
This is part of why they think rich people are good and working for God. They are clearly God’s chosen, starting the final conflict between heaven and hell.
They don’t care about micro plastics, they are going to float off to heaven any day now with new perfect bodies. Who cares about animals, they don’t have souls anyway. They don’t care about people dying, they are going to be judged and go where they are supposed to go. They want to convert as many people as possible to get into heaven, so they have to scream at random people’s funerals.
And in their eyes, they are the heros.
TLDR: evangelicals want to start the apocalypse so they don’t have to die to get into heaven, so they have been trying to manipulate politics and power for decades to do it.

181·7 days agoYou’re doing the false equivalency fallacy by bringing Obama into this though. Sure Democrats and Republicans are both bad, but trying to say they are equally bad isn’t true.
