    And then? Let it be performative. Make it the top issue every single day. Make sure nothing gets done until it gets done. Tie to budget, tie it to cabinet appointments, tie it feel good bills that do nothing. A single issue that shuts the government down until resolved. Eventually it will be. The DNC keeps playing nice and keeps failing.

        Some of them don’t even want a functioning world and are actively trying to end it for all of us to bring the day of the rapture closer

          My term for those is “Left Behind Christians”. There’s a lot of them. Worse than Jihadists.

          Seven Mountain Cult is honestly terrifying if not for the simple fact of how effectively they’ve infiltrated governance and actively campaign for the end of the world.

            I’d never heard of this before and looked it up. That’s concerning. I don’t have enough time right now to look deep enough to find which politicians are a part of it, however. Are there any in the House of Representatives or the Senate you can know of?

              I don’t think there’s any members of government who are members of a church that espouses the Seven Mountain Mandate, but prettyuch the entire “Freedom Caucus” is very buddy buddy with a lot of influential people from Seven Mountain Mandate churches.

              These churches also routinely are seen with celebrities such as Justin Bieber, the Kardashian, etc.

              They would also tell you they’re not an apocalypse cult and they just want to “bring about the second coming”

              But like, that’s an apocalypse cult. If you want to end the world, you’re an apocalypse cult.

        Seriously, if the GOP could have excuses to call for budget cuts and ending programs, and they didn’t even have to be the ones to come up with ways to stop the government from functioning in the first place? A dream come true for them
