In magas-on-the-street interviews last weekend, some spoke of trump as divine. One went so far as to say: “trump is my savior.” As numbers of his supporters plummet, trump’s situation ripens for extreme measures. Once trump’s a full-on dictator, he’ll never cede power. 1/14
“The searchers all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay/If they'd put 15 more miles behind her.” [FN1] trump’s hold on office as “dictator for life” will be secure if circumstances combine with various events. Mob violence always is dictators’ friend & is trump’s pal. [FN2] 2/14
Hard core maga adore trump, even though he is in over his head and he can do nothing about the sex scandal that envelopes his office. Another GOP elected official is in over his head in an office enveloped by a sex scandal: IN’s Lt Gov, Micah Beckwith, who claims to have 3/14
chatted w/”The Lord” about politics. Notably, Beckwith quoted the “Lord” from 1/7/21, about the previous day’s events: “‘Micah…I sent those riots to Washington.’ He said, ‘what you saw yesterday was my hand at work.’” [FN3] We need to look at context. Reactions to 4/14
the insurrection, even among elected officials of the GOP, were negative. [FN4][FN5] Beckwith could have come to the defense of the people charged with crimes from that day, and told them to have their attorneys call him. [FN6] That would have meant Beckwith couldn’t fib 5/14
about his chat with “God.” Also, the elected officials of the GOP and Beckwith, on 1/6/21, might have been confused, but a supreme deity is “omniscient,” [FN7] Beckwith doesn’t say “God” had assured him of pardons down the road. On the contrary, “God” implores Beckwith: 6/14
“‘Micah, if you do not get involved in the political battle, they will warp and destroy everything that I have set up in this nation that is rooted in Judeo-Christian principles.’ Those principles go away, then our nation goes away.” [FN8] Beckwith dissed “God” about Jan 6.[FN9] 7/14
Now Beckwith faces sex scandals in the office of Lt Gov and his church. [FN10] I am surprised Beckwith hasn’t quoted a heart-to-heart-to-heart chat with “God” about these crises. I’m also surprised Beckwith hasn’t offered to hook up trump w/divine messaging. 8/14
I wrote this blog today because soon to write anything negative about those in power might be illegal. I no longer live in Indiana, but Christofascists, such as Beckwith, are everywhere and they want power. wrsf .... yeah, sf. 9/14
