Antichristmas (Christmas 2021, Part Three.)

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh. And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way. ~Matthew 2:1-12

I keep seeing this shit. White people posing with guns, citing Christianity (and conflating it with politics) or posing with Christmas trees and shit...along with whatever the latest they-think-is-clever "Fuck Joe Biden" merchandise. So, according to white "Conservatives" Christmas is all about guns, politics, and sticking your middle finger up at the other guy...and more importantly, about being seen doing all this?

I was a Christian, and a conservative, for most of my life. I'm still a gun guy, and I would never have even thought of doing this type of shit.

Because my family and most of the people I know would laugh at me and respond with some variation of "What the fuck is wrong with you?"

It's not cool, it's not funny, It doesn't scare anybody, and it sure as hell has nothing to do with Christ or Christianity. On top of that, this stuff is just plain dumb. What is the purpose of acting like this? Do you idiots think Democrats don't have guns, or don't do things like serve in the military or do other dangerous jobs where they're not going to be bothered by your weapon that you likely don't know how to use?

Like, seriously, get over yourselves. No one cares, what you're doing only looks impressive to you and other idiots like you.

And again, it's Christmas, you couldn't even put down all this stupid political bullshit and Trump worship for one damn day? Not just any random date on the calendar either, but the date that your religion celebrates the birth of your alleged Savior...who was on record, in the Bible, for being against violence. More to the point the Bible itself says that too much submission to Earthly rulers is bad, and that worship of them is forbidden.

These people don't believe in God or Jesus. They worship an unholy trinity of  Gun, Ideology and Self, and the "Nation" or "Trump" is only really cover for that. What the shirt says is "FJB" what they're really trying to say without saying it is "I Love Me."

Ya know, it'd be cheaper and less obnoxious if you fuckers just sat at home eating cookies and watching old Dr. Phil episodes and Marianne Williamson YouTube videos instead of bothering the rest of us with this silly bullshit.

Oh, and that's what these people really might get violent about, not most people disagreeing with their politics, not "their" President being out of power...but that the rest of us don't bow down to worship them and their ideology of self and selfishness.

It's basically Ayn Rand on valium after having binge-watched all the Die Hard movies, without understanding the point, and they haven't even read Atlas Shrugged. 

These are the people who put the "I" in Ideology.

And all they're even getting for doing all this shit and making complete jackasses of themselves is transparently scammed by their own so-called political "Leaders."

It's a Merry Christmas for Ted Cruz alright, oh, you bet it is. How much of that campaign donation money goes into...if not into Ted's own pockets after having been filtered through his campaign, to high-cost brunches and hotel stays and trips where he gets to build his shitty political brand while also enjoying himself?

And more to the point these fucking morons, if confronted directly with this shit, so that they cannot deny it, will simply say that this is the spoils of power for people like Ted Cruz. 

Ted's only real job is supposed to be representing his constituents as a Senator...but we let these people act like they're some kind of celebrities or something...and nobody has run with that more than the "Conservatives" who used to be the sober, serious people who got shit done and left the movie star crap to people like Bill Clinton. 

Well...theoretically, anyway. That era is actually when all this crap really started falling apart. It didn't catch on right away because the people doing the grandstanding were hacks like Newt Gingrich and Tom DeLay who were, if anything, even less attractive than Ted Cruz while also lacking the bullshit star-power of a Donald Trump. But the shitty ideology at the top is still the same.

Problem we have, is that this ideology is being supplanted by an even more shitty ideology...actually you can't even go that far, it's basically grunting "Me have big stick" and reactionary anger and grandstanding...mostly in opposition to the fact that other people even exist.

And they not only will surpass Trump, they're doing it already. All the other shit he did wasn't the end of him, but admitting that he was vaccinated and boosted just might have been. Now they'll try to find someone even worse.

And that's why all these people, like Ron DeSantis and Ted Cruz, are jumping back into the game, grabbing onto Trump's coat-tails so they can elbow him out of the way.

And then they'll try to be even more shitty, so Trump's base doesn't see (or think about) what they did. It's really all about the petty selfishness and I can't stress that enough.

Christmas is supposed to be about compassion, peace on Earth, goodwill towards others. 

Not guns, politics and selfishness.

Compassion. Love, Peace.

That's all.

But the people most in need of compassion, the people Jesus was born to live among, to represent, ultimately to save...they don't shell out the big bucks for campaign donations or get bamboozled into forming right-wing insurgent armies that you might use to get your way if you lose a real election.

And neither the people using them nor the people being used care if they die and go to hell, because all they want to do is kill, and take some other people with them where they know they are going.

These people are Antichrist.

And this is their Antichristmas.

Live, on social media.

You know, if you actually look at the wording of Revelation 11 you could almost say it predicts this bullshit.

Merry Christmas. 

Try and do better than these fucking people, it isn't hard.

Part II.
