The GQP: Trumpist Death Cult


Hugo Stiglitz

Recommended Posts

So Superman is born totally different than us, grows up and chooses to adopt a completely different persona of a straight human male to blend in, all the while still being a different---but naturally born---person of a differing type?

And you right-wing Christians don't see the fucking irony?  Think about the lifestyle he chose versus the identity he was born with.  
Wait, nevermind...I don't feel like cleaning up exploded brains from Aisle 5.

“Hollywood is trying to make Superman gay and he is not.”

To truly understand the stupidity destroying America, study that sentence. The right wing persistently opposes progress in the real, objective world in service of cherished fictional narratives. That is almost a definition of right wing politics today.

I can’t believe I have to explain this, but here we are. Superman is neither gay nor straight. Because he is not real. Every one of Superman’s traits is entirely fictional, concocted solely in the mind of various authors and illustrators of Superman stories over the years. There is no basis in objective reality against which we can test the truth of any statement about Superman. Superman’s character traits are subject entirely to the fickleness of human imagination. If an author wants Superman to be gay, he can be. Because there is no objective, real-world caped superhuman alien-born hero against which we can compare any given’s authors claims about this character’s fictional sexuality.

The right wing, however, operates under the illusion that Superman is somehow an actual person and that, like Greedy Jesus and Patriotic Confederates and That Part of the Constitution That Says That Pence Should Have Anointed Trump Despite The Election Results, he is part of what it means to be a True American. Any attack on this entirely fictional, preposterous character is viewed as an attack on our nation’s cherished values. Never mind things like freedom of the press or the separation of church from state. America was founded on the simple belief that an alien baby from the planet Krypton arrived in a space cradle and grew up to shoot laser beams out of his eyes and bend steel girders and fuck women and only women

*sniff* God Bless the USA.

Heresy. He's real to me damnit.

I can't draw to save my life, but the cartoonist missed a 'yuuuge' opportunity.  Superman's logo is already shaped like a knotted necktie.  It would be a lot funnier if the logo drooped down past Trumpman's crotch.  I have to do all the fucking work around here.

So homie wants to 86 the U.S. Navy.  Sounds pretty anti-Murica to me. 

No, he's not saying that.  under his DoD overhaul plan, the Navy would actually maintain its current size but all ships would be converted to hovercraft so as not to disturb sea-levels.  Do you even G.I. Joe, bro?

The MAGA-loving religious sect that worships with AR-15s has purchased a 130-acre property on a mountain in eastern Tennessee to serve as a “training center” and holy ground for its devoted, gun-toting followers, VICE News has learned.

The latest property acquisition is more evidence that Pastor Hyung Jin “Sean” Moon, a fervent conspiracy theorist and son of an accused cult leader, is determined to expand his reach into the American Heartland.

Moon’s congregation, Rod of Iron Ministries, also known as The World Peace and Unification Sanctuary, is a gun-centric spinoff of the much larger Unification Church, founded by his late father, the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, a self-proclaimed messiah and businessman whose followers were famously known as “Moonies.” The younger Moon, who also goes by “The Second King,” split from the main church amid a dramatic falling-out with his mother about who, between the two of them, was the rightful heir to his father’s empire.

In 2017, Moon founded his church in Newfoundland, Pennsylvania, siphoning off hundreds of followers from the main congregation who were willing to make the seemingly radical leap of incorporating high-powered rifles into their spiritual life. He did this with the backing of his older brother, Kook-jin “Justin” Moon, the CEO of Kahr Arms, a gun manufacturing company headquartered nearby. In recent years, he’s made headlines for recreating the mass wedding ceremonies that his father’s church was famous for, with the addition of AR-15s.

Sean and Justin Moon, plus other senior church officials, were also at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, and posted videos of themselves emerging from clouds of tear gas. Sean has also courted fringe MAGA-world figures; this weekend, the annual Rod of Iron Freedom Fest at the Kahr Arms headquarters in Greeley will include speakers such as former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, ex–NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch, far-right Proud Boy ally Joey Gibson, and GOP congressional candidate Teddy Daniels.

The goal of the Tennessee property, explained the younger Moon in a sermon streamed to the alternative video platform Rumble over the summer, is to recreate the Unification Church’s infamous spiritual retreat Cheongpyeong, located about 27 miles outside of Seoul, South Korea.

“As soon as I was in the vicinity of this property, I immediately felt Cheongpyeong,” said Moon in his regular broadcast, titled “The King’s Report,” which he often delivers wearing a crown of polished bullets. “As this spiritual download was happening, and we could feel the presence of Cheongpyeong, we just knew that of all the Tennessee lands that we’ve seen, this is the one that we must get to reclaim and have as a spiritual retreat.”

For decades, church officials from the main congregation have fended off accusations of psychological, physical, and financial abuse. In the late 1970s, three former members said the church had encouraged them to commit suicide rather than stray from the church’s belief system. The church has also been accused of using coercive tactics to draw in members, including brainwashing and sleep deprivation. But many other accusations have centered around the activities at Cheongpyeong.

Etc, etc ….

The Moonies go MAGA and then inject it with horse steroids and meth.

Crazy fucking timeline.

Imagine how much volume Guam displaces. Need to dry dock it somewhere. 
 

actually, need to convince some rube congressperson that we can dredge the entire ocean floor of 6” thereby lowering sea level by that much, and use the material to create a border berm for high ground defensible position.

Raking the ocean floor much like raking the forest floor?  Brilliant.

I mean, yeah, it's fucking imbecilic, but at least they'd be getting some fundamental concepts down.  Shall we re-visit where we started?

This isn't getting diagnosed deeply enough.  Let's dive into the costume a lil more in depth.  We got colored brief tights worn over a unitard or colored tight body stocking with high boots in different colors and traditionally, a cape and some with long gloves.  If RuPaul wore this costume on Halloween with a geri curl to imitate Bruce Wayne, would this be really all that off base? And just wtf is Robin's outfit and sidekick role?  Half of them could walk into a drag bar and fit right in.   image.thumb.png.dae0668e89551ff500f9d93ef79dc084.png

Robin was an orphan taken in by an older gentleman that was a confirmed bachelor. He was mentored by this older man that would often dress in tights at night in his lair which was located far off under an isolated manor.

Sounds legit.

Let's take it a little farther out.

The Qanon crowd is a part of the GOP these days, given that Republican leaders pay lip service to their conspiracy theories.

They are obsessed with imagery/symbolism of The Matrix movies.

The Matrix is about being transgender.
