      1. One thing I've noticed is that as the case for impeachment becomes harder to dispute on legal and factual grounds, Trump's supporters have been trotting out religious language more and more.https://twitter.com/CourtneyHagle/status/1198654816928579584 …

      2. To be sure, alliance between GOP & Trump is of longstanding. Still, there's a difference between arguing God has a mission for Trump and saying Trump is "the chosen one" (a term he used for himself).

      3. If Trump is the chosen one, then impeachment becomes a defiance of God's will. Facts and law are irrelevant -- it's a battle between God and the Devil, with God wanting Trump to win. More thoughts here: https://www.thenation.com/article/impeachment-trump-messiah/ …

          Religion is faith/belief regardless of the facts, refusal to integrate new info (science, other cultures, whatever).

          Replying to @HeerJeet

          In Christian theology, the appropriate response to a claim that Trump's presidency was God's will is to view it through the lens of theodicy and the problem of evil.

          Replying to @puckthecat1 @HeerJeet

          Of course, these jokers aren't exactly into subtle philosophical analyses, and have a religious view that collapses religion and the state, so the conversation isn't going anywhere.

          They worship a god so weak that democrats can thwart His will. I have a lot of issues with these people, but their perverted faith is the facet which I simply can’t understand.

          Yup. I bet they have polling data that indicates he is losing support among evangelicals.

          what’s happening is that these people are unconsciously fulfilling the prophecy of an antichrist - again they are not actually aware of it but are making it happen because they want end times so much

          Christian Trump supporters have characterized him as a Wolf King or a modern-day King Cyrus. See #TheFamilyNetflix or read @JeffSharlet regarding the former, and here's one thread on the latter: https://twitter.com/Pamacious/status/1090478221722828805 …
