  • IIRC, it’s both. City wants control, but also the conditions weren’t appropriate for a shelter. Which is why they’re zoned as solely commercial in the first place.

    But again, as I stated, the real fucked up shit is that there was inadequate shelter for these people to begin with! And now this pastor and the people representing his case are using people’s suffering to argue for the church being above the law!


  • Like I said: while the pastor may not be blameless, the real crime here is that these people are in this situation in the first place! There should be accessible homeless shelters, or better yet, homes! They shouldn’t have to resort to sheltering in a church against zoning regulations that could be potentially dangerous! Cause honestly? If I were in their position, I’d make the same choice, and it’s fucked up that they have to!

    But it’s also fucked up that this church and the people representing their court case are abusing the homeless’ plight to further their agenda of making it so that the church is above the law! Quite frankly, both sides fucking suck and they’re just fucking the homeless from different ends.

    No, it’s Trump. They, Robin Bullock, Kat Kurr, all of them make prophecies about Trump. The whole fucking theology centers on Trump. He’s become the lynch pin to their everything. One pastor in particular, Shane Vaugn, claims that “Trump is a messiah.”

    They have hitched it all to Trump. Without him, it all falls apart. They will try to pivot because they won’t just give up their influence, but his second defeated will hurt their credibility. It will sow doubt. And when he eventually kicks the bucket, will, I wager most Christians only have it in themselves to wait on just one messiah to come back.

    While you’re definitely correct that Trump isn’t the last bigot who will run for president, none of them will have rhe same level of influence he did.

    Trump is a literal cult leader. You have pastors like Shane Vaughn who literally call him “a messiah.” He is literally worshipped. That’s why he could get away with Jan 6th, that’s why he’ll have so many voters no matter what, it’s a cult.

    With the above said, the his defeat will dishearten his mkst fervent followers. I believe many of them will never be able to bring themselves to vote for another candidate, ever. Not all, but many. Republican voter enthusiasm will be at an all time low.

    Following this, the infighting we already see will only get worse as would-be successors fight for the scraps that their titan left behind while others fight to leave Trumpism in the dust. Even if they manage to get a majority, they’d accomplish nothing meaningful.

    Their entire plan hinges on Donald Trump’s cult influence. The depend on his rabid base of supporters. If he loses this election, that goes away. The remnants will be fought over, but none of them will be able to touch the level of influence Trump himself had. His legacy will leave the Republican party fractured for decades.
