I was a teenager during the W. years and I just remember it as the bleakest time. Not the best time in my life and just terrible politically. Very similar to the Biden years (W. and Biden are almost the same guy in so many ways), except imagine that no one is fighting back (except some pretty desperate people in Iraq and Afghanistan I guess) and all you know about Marxism comes from the cow poster on the wall of the English teacher's classroom. Don't get me wrong, things are still very bad now...but back then, they were possibly worse.

So I sent this to the chat as a joke and somebody asked if it was real, and holy shit y'all:

Even though Gog and Magog are the only ranged units there, you don't use ranged builds while playing Inferno!

Bush taking the mask off to reveal what the "War on Terror" was really about.

If he'd read the Left Behind novels he'd know that Gog and Magog are actually Russia and Ethiopia

Chirac, a Roman Catholic, promptly asked his staff to call the French Federation of Protestants...

Sentences that could have been in the 16th century

The French would have absolutely not had a federation of protestants in the 16th century

Huguenots in shambles

Edict of Nantes was signed in 1598, which is still technically in the 16th century. technically the French Federation of Protestants started in 1905, but the concept of a French conferring with protestants would have started then.

That is cutting it real close

We had so much discourse back then about the WoT being a modern day crusade. The evangelicals had a lot more power back then that's been watered down by the expansion of the culture war, imo. Lol, the billionaires diversified their foot soldiers. frothingfash

I think Iraqis and Afghans would even refer to American troops as "crusaders" as a type of slur, too, back in 2005ish at the height of both wars.

I feel like it's more like that Rastafarian concept that the faith dilutes itself to attract new followers. W is more accepted in DNC circles today than the formerly DNC antiwar and economic progressive base they never wanted and went full sneering contempt at 2016 on. You now have no option to vote for a viable party that isn't trying to enact a messianic end times prophecy.

Yes, the apocalypse cult that is kkkristian zionism is a major reason for unwavering US support for Israel.
