When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats:
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
~Matthew 25:31-45

Dude apparently thinks he can rewire American culture completely by simply destroying the government, and then (although I'm not sure how) dictating terms in some unspecified fashion to the rest of us.
Hold on, what?? What is this, the Underpants Gnomes theory of social change?? None of this works that way!
Among other things, culture isn't a top-down thing that someone dictates and a few hundred years of a changing and vibrantly growing American body politic and culture isn't going to be remade in the image of these White-bread Fundamentalist freaks in just a few years...no matter how bad they fuck things up.
More to the point, the entire point of America is that we as a nation choose our government, they do not define us like, say, the King of Saudi Arabia might get to define that country, and I've been to Saudi Arabia, that's a good thing. Despite apparent recent efforts to dispel that image, trust me, nobody goes to the Kingdom looking for a good time in any way whatever.
Ronald Reagan described America as a country with a government, rather than a government that had a country...and I think the Gipper knew what he was talking about.
Look, I don't care if they can't imagine things work any differently than their own idiotic hierarchal views, things just don't work that way. I mean, if you really wanna change things over like, a decade or two, you have to persuade people and prick the conscience of the nation and work very hard at it.
Consider for example, Black civil rights activists or LGBT people over the last few decades.
And then, factor in that these guys don't want to do the work. These assholes think they're too good to have to persuade anybody, they think they're going to just tell people what to do and that nobody's going to punch them in the face for being Turgid sacks of flabby infected assholes as soon as the opportunity arises.
They think they can just break stuff and the changes they think they want will occur naturally somehow.
My partner is 40, Autistic, bisexual and still kinda-conservative and like me, she has a solid range of basic skills and currently works in a medical job. She's not down with this kind of shit either, and like I was she's the small-government Reaganite type. The difference being she still is.
Small government isn't what these assholes want.
She's not interested in things being broken, either. Both by inclination and professionally she's dependent on a variety of structures actually working. And neither of us wants the kind of "Traditional" relationship these chuds think we should have.
No, most of the time breaking stuff just...breaks stuff.
And when people who needed that stuff or who it belonged to see what you did, they're going to get mad. It's usually a short hop from getting mad to getting even.
These fucking people don't care about that and they're goat-eager...to the point of a turgid purple priapism level of excited about it...to simply fuck things up for everybody else.
In these fucking people's idea of a "Natural Order" we'd both be dead by now because (maybe) 40 or so would be where life expectancy topped out for the average person, and society pretty much would consist of incestuous nobles, their lackeys, the Church...and a whole mass of peasants and serfs.
Humanity tried that already, it didn't work out very well and its overall collapse led to about 500 years of violent struggle, and their side lost anyway.
But they think Trump is the guy who can get it for 'em.
Among other things, these fucking people are incompetent.
They'll fail, but they don't care. What they really want to do is simply kill millions of people trying to do all this.
In fact, they think they have some kind of "Divine Right" to do this shit.
They don't care if they end up in The Abyss.
In fact, I think the Republican addiction to miserable bastardy is such that they'd probably rather go there than Heaven anyway.
But if you wanna have a choice in the Afterlife, you got to stand up in this one, because the alternative is to sell your soul to these fucking people and their bullshit.
This crap isn't religion, it's narcissism.
You either believe in freedom or you don't.
And you're either willing to fight for it or you're not.
It's really that simple.
Слава Україна!
If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth. And this idea that government is beholden to the people, that it has no other source of power except to sovereign people, is still the newest and most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. This is the issue of this election. Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves. ~Ronald Reagan
Comin' at you every sunday?
See the face on the billboard?
Well, that man is me
On the cover of the magazine
There's no question why I'm smilin'
You buy a piece of paradise
You buy a piece of me
I'll get you everything you wanted
I'll get you everything you need
You don't need to believe in hereafter
Just believe in me
'Cause Jesus, He knows me and He knows I'm right
I've been talkin' to Jesus all my life
Oh, yes He knows me and He knows I'm right
And He's been tellin' me everything is alright
I believe in family
With my ever lovin' wife beside me
But she don't know about my girlfriend
Or the man I met last night
Do you believe in God?
'Cause that's what I'm selling
And if you wanna go to heaven
Well, I'll see you right. ~Genesis, Jesus He Knows Me.
