RAGE – Something Has Changed

 

The hate and anger enveloping this nation is great and deep.

I read a FB post where the person was so angry at Democrats, they wished they could be God long enough to send them all to Hell. Another referred to Democrats scathingly as Demoncrats.

I wonder if they realize Democrats worshipped and worship beside them. When they faced hardships, Democrats were right there laboring in prayer on their behalf. It didn’t used to matter that their family member, friend, acquaintance or church member was a Democrat, but something has changed.

The internet is flooded with videos showing racist confrontations. In the past, a person may have been a racist, but they tried to keep it well hidden. Now, it’s been given a turbo boost and it’s proudly demonstrated and worn as a badge. Something changed.

Trump defined that change in one of his interviews with Bob Woodward for his book RAGE. “I bring rage out,” he said. “I always have.”

Spiritual transference. I won’t expand on that here, but that’s what came to mind when I heard Trump’s statement.

I also learned that some are in awe of Trump’s ability to persuade people. When reality is not acceptable, he creates an alternate reality and persuades others that it is true, and reality is a lie. Anyone who dares to contradict and point out the true reality is labeled “fake” or suppressed. The scary thing is people really believe his alternate realities. Think about how long it usually takes one of his pronouncements to circulate around the internet, proclaimed as truth when it’s obviously not.

The first word that came to mind when I listened to this segment of the book was cultism for cult leaders also share and excel in this ability.

Trump said during his interview the meaner and crueler a foreign leader is the better he gets along with them. Hmm, I wonder why? Kindred spirits?

In the past, rage and it’s demonstrations would have been called out and denounced. Now, it’s being rationalized, accepted and in some instances, encouraged.

Rage is the fruit of A spirit, but that spirit is NOT the Holy Spirit.

Something has changed.

I’m still listening…
