The Devil Wears MAGA [1]

“Millions of Americans,” declared Robert Jeffress at a July 2017 event at his First Baptist Church of Dallas sponsored in Washington, D.C., “believe the election of President Trump represented God giving us another chance—perhaps our last chance to truly make America great again.” Amy Sullivan writing for Politico

As many as half of all evangelicals believe in some form or another that Trump was appointed by God to rule over the United States of America and thereby lead the world into righteousness. After January 6, 2021 many of them doubled down on their faith considering not only is Jesus embracing the leader of the Republican Party, but that those who are opposed to him are demons and tools of the devil his self. Matt Gaetz just decided to impeach the Attorney General for the recent target letter the former guy received. There is one glaring hole in the logic of this premise.

In 2020, before the election, millions of Christians were praying, fervently we imagine, for the Republican candidate to be re-elected. After the election, many people went into overdrive to claim that there was massive fraud. Sixty courts, state and federal, disagreed. They asked for evidence and got nothing. After the votes were certified, an entire cabal began to target January 6 and the formal counting as the last ditch day of reckoning. “Be there… Will be wild!”

What are we to make of such a committed group of believers marching on the Capitol in Washington DC to serve the purposes of the Lord God Almighty creator of the heavens and the earth?



First off, God, in all of His Glory, was unable to Get Out The Vote. Or He believed the Fox polls. Second, His most capable servants were Rudy and Sidney Powell.

And third, given a mob armed to the teeth along with numerous senators and representatives, these missionaries were not only unable to hang Mike Pence from the gallows the Lord had commanded to be built, they were also unceremoniously ushered out of the building and the procedure was completed by the pagan scoundrels who were clueless as to what God was really manifesting in the name of something or another.

To summarize, God put this guy into the office of the president but could not keep him there because reasons. Sunday after Sunday since then prayers have emanated from the evangelical pews without changing a thing. Some thought the former guy was still president because God would not have let them down. Some predicted that by May of 2021 or certainly by August he would have been returned by the hand of the Almighty. But we’re still waiting.

I Kings 18:27 describes Elijah watching the prophets of Baal who are unable to manifest their lords glory. Elijah mocked them and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god ; either he is talking or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or per adventure he sleepeth, and must be awakened.

The rest of the chapter also makes for good reading. Those who have equated the former guy to anything more than another grifter have some explaining to do. Elijah took care of his business.
