“Supernatural” is how I would describe where right wing politics are going, such as how some Trump supporters think he is the hand of God to save America. And how supporting Israel will bring about the Second Coming. And of course, conspiracies are everywhere. It’s gone beyond being just “ideological bankruptcy”.

Looks like this is another dud thread. I’m not seeing what I thought I could.

So the story goes that if Putin is successful in the Ukraine, he will soon be invading some NATO country. Really? Can they read his mind? Just sounds like propaganda to squeeze more money out of the American taxpayer or European anti-Russian paranoia.

I mentioned David French’s opinion piece in the NYT in another thread, where he makes the pitch for more cash to keep enabling the slaughter in the Ukraine. And he couches it in such almost religious rhetoric of Ukrainian heroes against Russian evil orcs it’s pathetic. But sadly for him it doesn’t have the same bite as when we were fighting Commies. It’s just two Nationalisms gutting each other, like Nationalisms always do.

Here’s another bit of Supernatural Politics: the ridiculous Great Replacement. Like that’s even demographically possible.

Just for laughs I signed up to the Hillsdale College e-mail list. I just got a message, for donations, of course, but the rhetoric is amusing supernatural politics. How’s this: “The anti-American Left is going all out, and they won’t stop until they destroy the American way of life.” The American “way of life”? What the heck is that but a supernatural concept?

Is MAGA supernatural? I think a case could be made for it. What exactly is “great”?

What’s Supernatural Politics? Migrants being called “invaders”. Well, maybe, but so were the Pilgrims. I guess “illegals” was not an extreme enough demonization. Manipulating semantics is a basic propaganda tool. The Libs do it too.

Listening to a hilarious interview with bimbo South Dakota Guv Kristi Noem warning us how Commie Chinese are talking over our sacred farmland. Gosh, I’m so worried. Soon we’ll be forced to eat chow mein instead of Mac and cheese. Satanic!!!🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Speaking of the Devil, the number of people who believe in Satan has dropped from about 70% in 2000 to about 58% in 2023, for what it’s worth.

It isn’t just the right that engages in supernatural politics IMHO. The libs are warning that Trump 2.0 would be “The End of Democracy.” I doubt it. Seems like lame propaganda.
