Someone commented on the video "Just what I needed to kick-start this morning." Well, yeah! Perhaps even a drop-kick start? Or am I flogging a dead horse?
The image is a red and black collage of newsprint, photos, and posters. Trump's face is partially obscured by a runny glob of red paint. In the center, flames arise from a MAGA hat.
This is another great protest song by Fenris. It's unabashedly leftest, but all the best protests songs are.
It starts with high-energy fiddle. The singer's pushing so hard you can hear him gulp breaths. The live crowd joins in. These are the Days makes me want to strategize on the long game. i>Soon Comes a Daymakes me want to kick in teeth!
This one is full of Biblical imagery:
You don't need to pray
The trumpet shall sound
Golden statues decay
The damned face their deeds
When the stone rolls away
Also The lamb and the lion" and others I mention below. Probably more that I missed.
The point of this, presumably, is to point out the hypocrisy of American evangelicals overwhelmingly supporting someone like Trump:
People grinning about murder and a-starving the sick
Then kneeling down on Sunday but they're serving old Nick
They're all waving their flags as America falls
It'd make me laugh out loud if I wasn't punching walls
There's a literal golden statue!
Christian Nationalism has become a disease. Their foils (Christian persecution, great replacement theory, Islam, Socialism) act as intuition pumps to convince themselves that the only way to protect their faith is to turn the US into a theocracy.
But Fenris has faith that the tide will turn:
This virus will die
And the walls will give way
Blood cries out from earth
And the earth shows the way
This fever shall break
And the bile drain away
"Soon" can't come soon enough, Fenris.
