December 2020. Almost daily, we see a throng of so-called Christian leaders boldly tell the most outrageous lies, bear false witness against their pretend enemies, and double down on a slew of false prophecies – all to support a political agenda that does not reflect BIBLICAL Christianity. In opposition to the BIBLE, they repeat the constant stream of lies told by their political idol, Donald Trump, as though there will be no consequences in the world to come. Their hypocritical devotion to the billionaires' proto-fascist right-wing political agenda is just a means of maintaining access to money and worldly power. Revelation 22:15 says that “those who love and practice lying” will be damned. …whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. James 4:4 You cannot serve God and money, for you will love one and hate the other. Matthew 6:24
When Trump spokesperson Kellyanne Conway floated the idea that the administration’s tsunami of lies could be explained away by calling them “alternative facts”, it was the manifestation of yet another republican strategy from the pit of hell. It was a naked plea to Trump followers to "drink the Kool-Aid"; to just go ahead and accept the “big lie” – and for the most part they have. The fascist “big lie” concept can be summed up as follows: If the authoritarian leader tells a lie big enough and often enough, many people (authoritarian followers) will start to accept it.
The “big lie” this month is the ridiculous notion that the 2020 Presidential election was rigged against republicans because the presidential outcome did not support the white supremacist fantasies of the 74 million Americans who illogically voted to re-elect a known reprobate - even though he has shown that he is willing to kill them with as little forethought as a child squashing a bug.
It could not be more obvious that this election, like all other elections, was actually rigged in favor of republicans through gerrymandering and other traditional methods of racist voter suppression. Nevertheless, the “rigged election lie” is already being recognized as having the potential to become the source of long-term socio-cultural grievance for fascist-minded American racists; just like the “lost cause” myth of the greedy, lying, traitorous, evil confederate slave holders. That racist “lost cause” belief system led directly to 150 years of terrorism against Black people by whites who feared the loss of their dictatorial power / economic dominance over Blacks - if the Blacks were ever allowed to vote. This was the genesis of the voter suppression we see today, as Republicans in 2020 openly decry voting by “non-traditional voters” (i.e., Blacks) as being unfair to their agenda.
There is a billionaire class (an oligarchy) in this country that uses the republican party and by extension, racist, right-wing, dominionist Christianity (republican voters) as the most convenient tool to force the federal government to do their will. The oligarchs need a multitude of sympathetic voters naïve enough to vote against their own best interests in order to maintain (for now) the illusion of democracy. (Maintaining an illusion of democracy is important to the billionaire class because as it keeps the masses in the dark as to who their real oppressors are.) They spend hundreds of millions of dollars each election cycle to brain-wash the uneducated with racist right-wing radio propaganda as a way to create republican voters who will, in turn, elect republican politicians sympathetic to the basest desires of the evil rich.
When the billionaire-owned right-wing media complex vilifies "democrats and liberals", it is largely code - a dog whistle - meant to demonize “Black people”. Blacks, through political necessity, personify the democrat voter that the right-wing media complex indoctrinates republican voters to hate. Why do you think that the prejudicial terms “democrat” and "liberal” resonate so well? The petty racist right-wing audience is predisposed to subconsciously focus their hatred on buzz words that squarely target their traditional victims – and anyone with the slightest sympathy towards them.
The oligarchs’ motivation is nothing more complex than greed and power. Their goal in manipulating politics is simply to add more zeros to their bank balance, whether it be through tax-breaks, deregulation, or any other scheme that steals quality of life from the bottom 50% - the people they see as “useless eaters”.
The call to invalidate the election is more than Trump’s plea for a four year life-line against the possibility of being tried for theft and treason, or his deluded followers’ tantrum over the perceived loss of their race privilege. It is the foreshadowing of a time when the illusion of democracy will no longer be necessary and the oligarchs will simply dictate the law based on what is good for them. It is all the more unfortunate that people who call themselves Christians have been deceived into selling their souls for a worldly outcome that does not benefit them in this world or in the world to come.
“You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you: These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.” JESUS - Mat 15:7-8
