CALIFORNIA FIRES AND CHRISTIAN RESPONSE: I think something that compassionate democrats and progressives don’t realize about evangelical Trump supporters is how invested they are in the apocalypse. Evangelical MAGAs serve a version of Christianity that delights in the suffering of their so-called “enemies.” And if they don’t delight in it, they see it as a relieving sign of coming rescue. For every scripture they cling to about seeing their loved ones in heaven one day, the blood sacrifice of Jesus, prosperity in exchange for faithful obedience, or how wives should submit to their husbands, there’s a bunch more about cruelly vanquishing their enemies. When Trump and his Fox News, manosphere podcast bros convinced evangelical Christians to hate “dems,” they were tapping into a Biblical narrative where Christians dominate and everyone else suffers. It’s the lead into the apocalypse: worldwide annihilation after a period of tribulation, where evangelical Christians will be saved to blissful eternity with God and everyone else will burn, forever. To evangelical MAGAs, the California fires are proof that apocalyptic salvation is already happening.
