Uh ohhh, the inner circle is shrinking
The people who thought they'd be in the 'in group' once again find themselves in the 'out group' who could have possibly seen this coming?
First they came for the trade unionists.
Then they came for absolutely no one else.
The inner circle is always shrinking, it's part of the fascistic "eternal struggle" bullshit; there's always got to be an enemy.
If Hegsworth wasn't drunk he could have played an Uno reverse and asked the Mormon's who gets in their heaven.
But them fracturing early is a huge boon to the rest of us. The Christian right has sunk a lot of time, efforts, and their daughters into converting our military officers, especially in the Air Force. Not to mention how they go after young politicians desperate for funding.
But trump is co-opting their plans and forcing them early.
If they had another decade or two, they'd likely have their faithful in full control of our government and military, then we wouldn't even have noticed a coup. They'd have just denied it was happening and pretended it was coincidence.

Zionists mutter knowingly amongst themselves in babykiller.

The wild thing is that they were always going to turn on the Mormons. The evangelicals fucking hate the LDS Church, and they've been pretty candid about that for a long time. But the Mormons so badly wanted to be in the conservative Christian gang they convinced themselves they would always be accepted.
The evangelicals treated the Mormons like useful idiots. Now they think they have no use for them. So they've become just idiots.
This right here is the shit I've been waiting for. They'll turn on Catholics soon enough and I'm shocked Jehovah's Witnesses exist in the list at all since there's literally no members allowed to do anything in the military not even non-combat. Evangelicals aren't even a homogenous group in and of themselves, consisting of the likes of Baptists and Pentecostals who disagree strongly about... certain things.
They all used to piss and bitch and fight each other all the time. Seems they realized they were all headed for the dustbin of history recently, but I knew it couldn't last forever...
Exactly. Catholics will be next. Then Orthodox and Coptic church members, and yeah the JWs. Oh, and the liberal Lutherans and Episcopalians too.
And then the evangelicals will start cannibalizing each other. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if some of them unify into a single church that worships Trump as a prophet (profit? Haha), and that group viciously takes down any other evangelicals still standing.
Hopefully things don't get to that point.
Amen
consisting of the likes of Baptists and Pentecostals who disagree strongly about… certain things.
My great grandmother was part of a Pentacostal church that split in half over a single bible verse. But they were both still speaking in tongue after the split.
Catholics are up soon. Evangelicals will flat out try and convert them since they are not Christians.
good thing they scammed that dying man out of his legos
This.
This is what the Mormons are now known for, and forever shall be. Owning the police terrorists who are the private army of the Mormon Bricks & Minifigs thieves who scammed a dying man out of his LEGOs.
"Mormon business owners would rather weaponize the police than return stolen goods." Great job Utah Police for protecting criminals.
Say "'MURICA" ONE MORE TIME
Suck it, Prop 8 shitheads
As the outcast in a large family of Mormon Trump followers, I love this news. It's almost worth reaching out to those I cut off to ask them how happy they remain with their votes.
Do you think they even know? Most of the Trump dipshits are in their own information bubbles and things like this generally don't penetrate their thick skulls.
Since some are in the armed forces, probably.
As long as they list the Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, I'm good. The Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912 will of course burn in Hades forever.
Have the day you voted for!
Getting a taste of being excluded are we?
Their Christians. They always feel excluded or persecuted.
The second m is silent.
Mor~~m~~ons.
"Hey, my Invisible Sky Friend deserves to be in the Cool Invisible Sky Friend club like all the other Invisible Sky Friends!"
They’re turning on each other now.
Once they eliminate each other, the rapture will be complete. mwhahahaha
That’s 4 electoral votes in play right there!!
Four electoral votes that'll vote Republican no matter what.
I don't know if you understand Mormon culture or not. They spent decades of lobbying and advertising to be counted as Christians in the first place. Fucking with the church holds more sway to them than anything else. The church being shunned like this means the church will have to send a message and they own all of the politicians outright.
They're owned by Israel, who are you kidding?
Plus Idaho, which also has a lot of Mormon influence.

Something something Legos
LDS will ruin your day if you piss them off.
Unless I miss judging them I doubt they're going to fuck up the entire federal government.
Well, they could try. It would be a win-win.
