The Trump-DeSantis feud just got worse. A hidden factor is driving it. #politics https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/11/07/donald-trump-ron-desantis-feud-christian-nationalism/
Essentially, Trump and DeSantis are fighting over who is the true Barabbas.
@John_Scotus “YOU can’t sacrilegiously claim to be America’s anointed savior! That’s MY deal!”
Also, having trouble finding anywhere in the Bible where God calls for us to be a “fighter”. All I can find is “Blessed are the meek” and “turn the other cheek”. 🤔
@John_Scotus Leaving aside the whole theological mess of claiming God needs humans to do His fighting or protecting for Him….
'In a bizarre turn, the Times also reports that Trump’s “DeSanctimonious” barb was an angry reaction to a new ad from DeSantis, which presents the Florida governor as a divinely anointed figure.
“On the eighth day,” DeSantis’s ad intones, “God looked down on his planned paradise and said: ‘I need a protector.’ So God made a fighter.”'
