“I’ll tell you a secret, since media is not here. Thank you for not allowing the media in. Look, I’m a Southern Baptist, I don’t wanna get too spooky on you, But, you know, the Lord speaks to your heart.
“The Lord began to wake me up, through this three-week process, in the middle of night to speak to me. The Lord impressed upon my heart a few weeks before this happened that something was going to occur.
“And the Lord very specifically told me in my prayers to prepare, but to wait. At the time, I assumed the Lord was going to choose a new Moses and thank you, Lord, you’re going to allow me to be Aaron to Moses.
“I had this sense that we were going to come to a Red Sea moment in our Republican conference and in the county at large. God had been speaking to me about this, and the Lord told me very clearly to prepare and be ready.
“Ultimately 13 people ran for the post. And the Lord kept telling me to, ‘Wait, wait, wait.’ So I waited, I waited. And then at the end the Lord said, ‘Now step forward.’
“Me? I’m supposed to be Aaron. ‘No,’ the Lord said, ‘Step forward.’” – Mike Johnson, speaking last night to the far-right National Association of Christian Lawmakers.
This man is a true believer. True believers do not compromise anything that goes against what they believe their religion tells them. This man is far more dangerous than Donald Trump, who is simply a grifter and was in it for himself. This guy thinks the gods have ordained him. Anybody who stands against him is going against God, in his own mind.
What exactly does he mean by being Moses and America’s “red sea moment?” Are the liberals, FBI, and the people prosecuting Trump the Egyptians? So, Johnson has been chosen to lead Republicans to safety, and kill the liberals, FBI, and prosecutors?
Pretty much. Conservatives nowadays see themselves as perpetual victims. They are being oppressed by the liberals because society doesn’t bend to every conservative whim. They are being victimized because people other than straight, white, Christian men have a say in society’s functioning.
Johnson is stretching this imagined victimization into “we’re essentially slaves to the liberals who are just like the Egyptians in the Bible!”
It’s idiotic and 100% wrong, but it sounds good to some on the right who whine that they don’t run everything anymore.
“The Communists want a dictatorship and want to change your life, ruin your families, and turn all the kids gay! Forcing people is bad! That’s why we need to install Trump as God-Leader forever, lock up teachers, force kids to be straight, and
indoctrinateeducate our Christian Nation the Right way! They’re not the same they’re Fascistactic Ideas™!”MAGA morons: “hurdur Democrats dictators, we need a Republican dictator!”
Worse, the Egyptians paid the pyramid builders. They weren’t slaves, they were highly paid artisans.
Christians can’t even get basic history accurate.
Also, no, Noah wasn’t real and he didn’t put every animal on earth on a wooden boat.
Trump, Mike Johnson and their followers will walk down to the Rio Grande, separate the waters, cross, and establish their own Israel-like state in Mexico, thus fulfilling the prophecy that Irony is officially dead, and satirical publications around the world will collapse into a singularity under the weight of reality, engulfing the earth as a first plague to be released. The second plague will be a yogurt.
