Midnight Meme Of The Day!

by Noah

Sunday Thoughts:

I know the douchebag in question actually said what he said this past Wednesday and not today but the point is the same. The douchebag in question was Rep. Barry Loudermilk of Georgia who I referred to in yesterday's Midnight Meme for his comparing Trump's impeachment to Christ's crucifixion. Sure, lots of us at times might love to see Trump dragged though the streets, whipped, beaten to a bloody orange pulp and then executed, maybe even hung from a lamp post by his thumbs like one of his role models by the name of Benito Mussolini. But that's not how we do things here and no one has done anything remotely like this to Donald Trump. There are no nail holes in his tiny hands. All that's been done so far is apply an insufficiently wee bit of accountability for Trump in the form of a righteously correct impeachment vote in the House of Representatives.

There's a ton of irony in Loudermilk saying what he said. Such lynchings are the kind of thing that the kind of people who support Trump traditionally do to African-Americans, but I guess to them, that would still be just fine, very fine. Loudermilk's home area has a proud history of lynchings and he was against the taking down of statues that celebrate that "heritage," as they call it down there.

Still, Loudermilk is nowhere near the first Trump follower to compare his man to Jesus or at least some sort of messiah. Signs can always be seen at Trump rallies that make the comparison or say things like "Thank Jesus For President Trump" or "I Praise the Lord For President Trump." It's a glassy-eyed fixation. It's all a gross manifestation of their messianic obsession and the mass insanity that republicans everywhere are exhibiting these days, not just at Trump rallies or in Congressional hearings. It crops up at town halls and school board meetings. Trump supporters even decorate their cars and trucks with it.
