People who make Politics thier Religion (Aka The Liberals and Leftists)
Is there anything more Sad and Empty then people who raise something as Banal and Callous as Politics to the Level of a Religious Belief in their life?
This seems to happens most with people on the Left. Aka The Liberals and Leftist Progressives. The Alt-Left if you will.
There are plenty of issues and stories where this is apparent with them.
Does anyone else have any thoughts or feelings on this subject?
You are a broken record, man.
The "Right" is guilty of foisting their unjustified religious beliefs onto other people through their politics, like banning stem cell research and the struggle that homosexuals have had to get equal rights, etc.
So it's not just the "Left" that likes to fuse irrationality with politics.
If this isn't cult-like devotion....

Basically: Trump is a "chosen one" of god; who god works through and if you go against the "chosen one" god will curse you and your children and their children etc., cos reasons

Aren't you one of those PEOPLE that say using "Youtube News Vids" are invalid because they are on YOUTUBE?
Hypocrite much there Robbie?
Or should I call you Father Robbie seeing seeing as how you are one of those Leftist Religious Types this thread is discussing.
In case anyone can't watch stream, here's the transcript of that she claims:
"It’s not that Donald Trump is all that perfect of a guy. We all know he’s not. And we know that he’s not necessarily perfect in every way that we would like. That’s not how God works. He works through the ones he chooses. We don’t choose them. All we have to do is recognize them and when you recognize a chosen one and you have the discernment to know that they’ve been chosen and know that that’s the will of God, then your life will be blessed. And if you come against the chosen one of God, you are bringing upon you and your children and your children’s children curses like you have never seen. It puts a holy fear in me." -Mary Colbert
She sounds like a zealot who's mixing in her religious and political beliefs into some knew neo religion (aka insanity). So sure of herself that God will curse people who don't follow her religion-political doctrines.

Damn, that is some seriously disturbing shit. And these people vote. Why don't they move to North Korea if they want to believe in some divine douche of a leader.

They're all talk.
Seriously, that's all it takes to be a leftist.
Conservatives earn their stripes by actually doing shit. Taking care of their family, refusing handouts, working hard at what they do, following a set of bedrock principles.
Are there conservatives who don't make the cut? You bet. But you can actually tell a good conservative from a bad conservative because a set of standards exists to judge them against. A set of standards that takes discipline, effort, and self sacrifice.
What does it even take to be a good liberal? Spout off about some women's studies course you're taking? Talking smack about Republicans? Going on a "symbolic" hunger strike, with snacks?
Leftist's are a joke.

And oversimplify things of course.

Oversimplfy, nothing.
Here's just one issue that proves the left as a joke:
You come from a broken home. Your father is just some guy got your mother pregnant, while your mother never really wanted you and keeps you around just to spite your father. She spends most of her time drinking.
The liberal stance to this scenerio would be to pity the offspring. And then go bang their girlfriend without a condom.
The conservative would look at this and wish someone would have listened to him before they made their unwanted child. But he was told to shut up and keep his nose out of other peoples sex life.
This "simplistic" view you'll no doubt accuse me of having is a very real consequence of liberal politics. You can either condone sexual freedom and permissiveness. No shaming people, no standards, nobody else's business.
Or you can try and prevent unwanted pregnancies. Which means sex education and contraceptives, absolutely. I am NOT a conservative, nor am I a practicing religious believer.
But it will also need some set of social standards that frowns on casual sex. Because sex = kids.
Conservatives may not go about ending unwanted pregnancy the best way, but it sure bests the way most "leftists" approach it (Which is basically sex, drugs, and rock and roll. And leaving the mother of their child behind to pursue other interests.)
Bottom line, there's absolutely nothing about leftists approach to the world that involves giving up anything to see their vision through. Hating on, evangelicals, bigots, parents, the rich, the privileged, ect is EASY! Just get mad, and rant about shit.
And deflect any and all blame onto someone else, like Conservatives who live in the South with their cousin parents, far away from your home of Chicago or New York or whichever city a leftist happens to **** their 9th girlfriend in while high and creating their 11th unwanted kid (That they totally will beat their girlfriend into aborting, if they decide to stick around long enough.)

The point of my post was to show you how stupid you sound sticking to your stereotype of the left, by doing the same with the right. Ugh, maybe I should go slower.So iyo everyone in the left is like you mentioned in your elaborated, totally veridic, story? Yeah, totally not oversimplifying sport. 👆
Oh no, not everyone that votes Democrat is like that. Just progressive's/leftist's.
The kind that rant on about how bad selfish conservatives are, while living pretty selfish lives themselves.
Take, for example, a union rep. I actually respect union heads that go out of their way to represent the interests of their workers. I knew men like this.
I also knew union reps that sat on their butts and just ranted about Bush.
The one's that drive me crazy, though, are the sorts that live a good life while complaining about those who don't. They'll complain about the evil businessman who outright says they're just in it for themselves, yet what is their side doing about it?
I mean, aren't there liberal millionaires? Billionaires? Why not shame THEM?
Go after the people that claim to care and hoard their money, instead of the side that tells you they don't care and just want to hoard their money. THAT's my biggest beef with the supposed "bleeding hearts", they spend more time ranting about "team evil" then they do about the rich guys in their own party simply not doing enough for the disadvantaged.
Religion and politics are supposed to be separate.
Our vice president is a nutjob... funny how he thinks that religious folks helped abolish slavery, when nothing could be further from the truth. The Bible endorses slavery, so the South was absolutely on the winning side of that theological debate...
Yes, "Pray for our country. Because that does absolutely nothing, and while you are busy with such a useless act we will continue to corrode civil liberties and build up a Christian Theocracy. God Bless America."

Indeed, attributing President Trump to be "God's Chosen One" is making politics be your religion and she seems to legitimately believe this. The bit about god cursing family blood lines if they go against Trump, that's just a combination of fear-mongering (which these people thrive on) "You better believe what I believe or something bad will happen to you," and idiocy.
