This kinda shit is at least part of the reason the fastest growing religion in America is “none.”

    Exactly! They know their book says "love your neighbor" and care for the widow, the orphan & the stranger, but they don't even vaguely do anything like that.

    If there’s one thing Jesus was consistent about, it’s that poor refugees seeking shelter should be ruthlessly murdered by drowning in a river tangled in razor wire.

    Pretty sure that’s in the gospels.

    Most likely scenario is that they drive around in their trucks waving both flags of the US and flags of traitors to the US, block traffic, and post to Facebook.

    Worst case scenario, there is a wave a of hate crimes as these hyped up fascists try to "defend America" by picking fights with any random brown person they see.

    Best case scenario, they try messing with federal agents, get arrested, and wont be voting in November.

    There's so much fucking crazy in just the first two paragraphs of that article:

    A trucker convoy of “patriots” is heading to the U.S. border with Mexico next week, as the standoff between Texas and the federal government intensifies. The organizers of the “Take Our Border Back” convoy have called themselves “God’s army” and say they’re on a mission to stand up against the “globalists” who they claim are conspiring to keep U.S. borders open and destroy the country.

    “This is a biblical, monumental moment that’s been put together by God,” one convoy organizer said on a recent planning call. “We are besieged on all sides by dark forces of evil,” said another. “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God. It is time for the remnant to rise.” (The remnant, from the Book of Revelation, are the ones who remain faithful to Jesus Christ in times of crisis).

    I’m a pagan so maybe I’m misinterpreting but I did read the Bible in catholic school and I’m pretty sure Jesus said to do the opposite of this. I’m pretty sure he’d be saying that we should see each family as though they were Jose, Maria, and their baby Jesus as no different than Yusef, Miriam, and Ieshiua 2000 years ago. I’m pretty certain that was in fact his entire point though he’d also be saying that single 20 year old men also should be welcomed because they’re either good or lost and able to be redeemed.

    Why on earth would "peacemakers" need the probably mobile armories those idiots are carrying?

    It's doublespeak, a la 1984. In this case many of the words used are inversions of their usual meaning.

    I'll provide some translations:

    patriots -> seditionists

    biblical -> cloaked in the authority of God – which here must be explicitly stated because their actions are opposed to any God of justice

    open boarders -> following legal and ethical principles (remember, these people oppose ethical principles)

    peacemakers -> those who use violence, or the threat of violence, to obstruct peace. See also, terrorists

    besieged by dark forces of evil -> opposed by morality, ethics, or the law. The addition of "on all sides" changes the 'or' to 'and'

    As a bonus, "globalists" is antisemitism. There's an old canard that justice for minorities = communism = Jewish conspiracy. This is particularly common among nazis. The convoy organizer is signaling that their group is accepting of these ideas

    Fucking brain dead morons sacrificing their livelihoods for the party that is actively blocking any action on securing the border.

    That’s the whole game, create problems and stop progress so you can claim that you are the only group capable of solving it. This is just an op to try and smear the Ds

    I'm no theist, but... If God existed, and was all-powerful as theists believe, why the fuck does he need an army?

    Wont even be a civil war. National guard will fall in line and in the event of Texas actually seceding from the Union, they will find out exactly how much money the US sinks into their state to keep it afloat while their own elected officials flee the first power grid failure

    Sounds an awful lot like levying war against the United States, or adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.

    All of that military jargon, and I'll bet the number of actual vets in that convoy is a small percentage.

    Not that there aren't MAGA ex-military, just that they don't as much get a kick out of cosplaying as such. If they liked it that much, they wouldn't have ETSed. Or, dishonerable discharge; I guess there could be a few of those.
