The Trump Prophecy

We went to this - It was like 3 movies - all of them bad - although the first part, the firefighter who is told by God that God wants Trump, was not just propagandistic, but it was so slow and poorly done. Designed to make people afraid so that they are receptive to the ideas put forth in the next two sections - which run like slick ads for going to war - (they sacrificed themselves and now it is our turn music playing to a bunch of pictures of folks with loved ones in frames who fought wars), and then the final part which is a bunch of interviews with mostly white guys talking about the founding father's setting forth a Christian state (they did not - they were secular humanists) and Capitalism (which is an economic system and not a political system) being the political system of the US. Most of this was just manipulative propaganda.

This blatant propaganda piece was so bad, it changed me from a lurker to an actual reviewer on this website for the first time in over a decade. Acting was atrocious, the dialogue was delivered with the same gusto of a middle school play, and that's not even touching on the subject matter.

Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs. Hard stop. As long as you are not bothering me or someone I love, or interfering with the freedom of others, I could care less what you believe.

It's really hard to apply that philosophy when you are dealing with a dangerous cult that is wanting to transform society to reflect their own narrow interpretation of a 3000-year-old text.

"Movies" like these are designed to appeal to the ignorant and uneducated, stir up their hostilities through their confirmation biases, and have them walk away from the experience more deeply entrenched in their bubbles, ready to take on "the libs". That term, of course, has slowly transformed over the course of the years to mean every single person that does not 100% agree with them.

This movie was physically painful to watch, and even more agonizing knowing that other people were buying into it hook, line, and sinker. These are sad times, friends.

I'll say right now I'm not a fan of Trump but I find his support by the Republicans and the evangelical community to be puzzling. The man is a New York Liberal. He was a registered democrat for most of his life. He never was a religious or pious man. He's been married three times, cheated on every single wife he has and yet is seen as being a family man.

How is this even possible? It's because some people simply don't care who the candidate is and just blindly support the guy with a "D" or "R" beside his name. And this movie is a perfect example of this.

For some reason we're dealing with people that believe that God not only exists but actually cares about how is in charge of the United States. He doesn't seemingly care about any other country like North Korea. No, only the United States matters in his eyes or at least that's what a lot of American evangelicals seem to believe.

What we have in this movie is terrible acting. Terrible special effects. Terrible reasons for supporting Donald Trump and a desire to ignore all the bad stuff he's done.

And yet the faithful will go see it, praise it's message, and give it 10/10 because they're a bunch of sheep. There's a reason why a congregation is called a "flock". They just sit there and accept whatever is told to them.

Maybe they'll wake up in a couple of years when America is no longer a superpower.

Like a train wreck I had to watch. I feel for people who need some sign or message to carry on in life. Maybe therapy and not prophecy would be a better recommendation. This movie tried and failed.
