Non-Post version of this interesting article about the dynamics (and perhaps absurdity) of the Iowa caucuses. FYI
The Conversation: 1 good thing about the Iowa caucuses, and 3 that are really troubling
My summary: "It's like Groundhog Day" - with a few different groundhogs, just like 'here' in the USSA! ;)

Here's an interesting and well-written glimpse at #GQP / #TrumpVirus cult 'thinking' (about exit doors?) vis-a-vis TFG...
Trump's idiotic 'trading cards' are the last straw for Republicans
Not only a case study of 'group-think' among the Trump once-faithful, but an excellent compendium of historical facts, one horrid act after another, serving as an excellent list of reasons to re-think there being a modicum of anything positive ever, in Drumpf-world.

This is fun, & very interesting to those tuned into to "thinking", cognition, gullibility, propaganda, cult behavior, disinformation, political messaging, etc.... Based on actual research.
STUDY: Trump Supporters Aren't Very Smart
Of course, John Cleese thin-sliced it into a one-minute synopsis regarding the alternative universe of the Fox/GQP group-think.

#newhere and feeling more oriented than on some other sites I have recently tried. An internet denizen since, well, nearly the beginning (1989) and pre-browser for sure. Along the way I had accounts on GeNIE, AOL, Prodigy, the Well, MySpace, CompuServ and a bunch of BBS (dial up) haunts. My tags include. #canines, #cults (as a scientology escapee), #MacOS and #epistemology. This along with peertube may be my first VPS installs, sometime later this fall.

MESSIAHS NEVER RETURN
Like any other Christian cult, QAnon announced again that its messiah would return--this time on March 4 and, of course, he didn't. Biden is still our President.
As a kid, I remember during the late sixties and early seventies, the Jehovah's Witnesses made complete asses of themselves predicting the return of Jesus time and time again. Of course, Jesus didn't show up as promised. It became a running joke whether or not they would come up with a new prediction of their messiah's return.
The Witnesses were so wrong so many times, they finally gave up. Not that they lost members who saw through the moneymaking scam, only that these true believers rationalized it into their beliefs.
The Mormons through the years have done a similar thing, predicting their messiah's return. Only the Mormons were smarter and quieter than the Witnesses by not publicizing the announcements in giveaway pamphlets.
This is not new to the Christian religion. Many Christians for centuries rationalized the no-show Jesus who was returning "soon." 2000+ years to any human being is not soon by any stretch of the imagination unless that imagination is impelled by faith.
The early Christian scam is exposed in the letters of Paul to the Thessalonians where he had to rationalize why he was wrong that Jesus had not returned as he promised those he "saved." These letters are a case study in human cult brainwashing, where people are led to "hold to their faith" in a false prophecy that obviously failed.
Yet this scam today is still held and rationalized by believers as "soon" to a god "whose ways are not our ways" and to whom "a day is a century" or whatever. So this god "telling" his followers that Jesus was returning "soon" means that Jesus was not returning soon by human standards. I'm not waiting around holding my breath on this idiocy, but many Christians today are.
Given this Christian propensity to digesting utter bullshit it is no surprise that QAnon is a hit among conservative Christians. Once you can get Christians to swallow idiotic nonsense like this, politics is an easy manipulation. Such dunces are easily scammed--as January 6 proved to our nation and the courts are proving to the arrested and convicted.
Thus the Catholic-based QAnon cult gains a following among evangelicals and even gets accepted and reinforced by the Falun Gong cult of China, which seems to me to be basically a movement where new-aged Buddhism and Taoism meets Christian racism and sexism and bigotry and prophecies. Hide the Buddhism in the guise of The Epoch Times and the Christians here love it.
The faith healing aspect of Falun Gong is just like Christian faith healing. Disgusting garbage that puts down medical research through conspiracy theories. The blowing away of Covid by Kenneth Copeland is just as ridiculous as the hot air blow given by Master Li on the dangers of vaccines.
So since Jesus hasn't shown up as planned, now we have the loser of the presidential election as messiah. I guess you have to try with a new person when the first is a no-show.
To the true believers, he was crucified in a stolen election, verbally flogged by the press for our offenses, and expelled from the White House to his Florida resort. He will return to judge the deep state and the cabal. The evil shall perish in a storm and his kingdom will have no end. Or so their would-be creed goes.
Well, now the new messiah is also a no-show. Excuses will be made to delay his return so that the true believers will remain believers, so that hope in the scam remains and religious idiots remain the pawns of the powerful.
Can't get more Christian than that.

after school satan club!
FAQ – After School Satan
Is Satanism in schools legal?
Yes. The Supreme Court ruled in 2001 in the case of *Good News Club v. Milford Central School * that schools operate a "limited public forum" and that, as such, they may not discriminate against religious speech should a religious organization choose to operate an After School Club on their premises. Christian evangelicals — particularly the Child Evangelism Fellowship — have taken advantage of this ruling ever since. As it is illegal for the schools to discriminate against specific religions or preference others, After School Satan Clubs cannot be denied wherever Christian, or any other religious clubs, operate.
What do children learn in the After School Satan Clubs?
All After School Satan Clubs are based upon a uniform syllabus that emphasizes a scientific, rationalist, non-superstitious world view. While the twisted Evangelical teachings of The Good News Clubs "robs children of the innocence and enjoyment of childhood, replacing them with a negative self image, preoccupation with sin, fear of Hell, and aversion to critical thinking," After School Satan Clubs incorporate games, projects, and thinking exercises that help children understand how we know what we know about our world and our universe.
So Scientific Rationalism is a religion?
No, Satanism is a religion that endorses scientific rationalism as our best model for understanding the natural world. Just as a moral sense of altruism exists independent of any religious construct, scientific rationalism is the best method for understanding our physical universe, regardless of what religion we identify with. A religion need not make exclusive claim to a value, ethical principle, or practice, to advocate its advance.
Who operates After School Satan Clubs?
After School Satan Clubs are operated by local chapters of The Satanic Temple by volunteer members who have been vetted by the Executive Ministry for professionalism, social responsibility, superior communication skills, and lack of criminal history.
Where do I find an After School Satan Club near me?
Active After School Satan Clubs will be listed on our "Find A Club" page. Please check back for updates.
How do I start an After School Satan Club in my school district?
If there isn't a chapter of The Satanic Temple near you, but you're interested in starting an After School Satan Club in your school district, please contact The Satanic Temple. Please keep in mind that The Satanic Temple is not interested in operating After School Satan Clubs in school districts that are not already hosting the Good News Club. However, The Satanic Temple ultimately intends to have After School Satan Clubs operating in every school district where the Good News Club is represented.
Don't you think it's best to keep religion out of schools?
Yes. But the worst case scenario, when religion is allowed in the schools, is an environment in which one religious voice enjoys the exclusive benefit of delivering its teachings to the children, promoting the understanding that their religion is endorsed by the school, or otherwise has special privilege within their community. The Satanic Temple does not advocate for religion in schools. However, once religion invades schools, as The Good News Clubs have, The Satanic Temple will fight to ensure that plurality and true religious liberty are respected.
Is this not a Christian Nation?
No. It is not.
