I don’t know my neighborhood checks the boxes but the water is still iffy

Lol sure, but I think my point still stands that the koresh followers were crazier than maga followers

This is cringe behavior for sure. That said, this is way more common than you might think. Many churches will “lay on hands” to pray for someone. Often if they’re sick, or being sent on a mission trip. I’ve been in settings exactly like this one.

I’m an atheist now, so of course I think the general idea is misguided. What makes this particularly stupid is that Trump doesn’t give a fuck about religion or doing the right thing.

All that said, no, the Branch Davidian beliefs were much crazier than maga beliefs. For example they had an inter-cult armed showdown over a dead body that they believed God would resurrect.

They were less of a threat because you would never get millions of people to believe those ideas, while the slightly less but still insane maga people are in charge of the government.

They might be wrong that no one was saying that, but there definitely wasn’t a significant voting block who thought a third party candidate had a shot at winning.

Blaming third party voters is a loser mentality. 77 million voted trump, 75 million Harris, and 101 million didn’t vote at all. How about blaming those people? Or blaming the party and candidate? If someone didn’t win the majority of the blame lies with the person running.
