A reminder and perspective for those immersed in the fog of the culture wars, the super-rich secured power by buying evangelical votes with promises evangelicals would get want they wanted. They wanted the U.S.A. reborn as a Confederate, racist dystopia, and to see Jesus. Evangelicals came to collect.
Masked thugs patrol the streets and arrest brown people with needless violence, spreading fear and sending a message of hate and intimidation. Voting rights, never fully realized, are being eradicated.
Racist dystopia? Check.
The way to see Jesus definitively and with conviction is to die. Evangelicals despise creation, all that temptation and imperfection. They long for the end-times. Evangelicals want to see the world go up in flames. Millions die? No problem. Part of God's plan. The world engulfed in war? Exciting. Cool. Provocative. The Middle East mired in strife with Jews involved? Extra cool, because it's prophecy.
Evangelicals get to see Jesus?
Not check yet. They're working on it.
