said Sahakyan. "I think it will resolve a lot of issues because we'll know exactly who's in here for what reasons, even though I miss [my wife] dearly. I think we could have a faster process [where they determine] she's not a radical, or tied to the crazies, let her out."
He's rationalizing what's happening. They are never letting her out. They are going to take her out of the country and she will never be coming back to the USA again. I wonder if that is what it will take for him to change his opinion.
I'm not a psychologist but I suspect there's something amiss here.
Like a lot of these people if he steps back from his loyalty to Trump, he's kind of admitting that he's partially responsible for what's happened.
Clinging to this shaky narrative of how this is actually a good thing allows him to offload the guilt.
I think this might be "delusional" in the clinical sense.
Over time the belief becomes more entrenched. Something like muscle memory but a thought pattern. It will then become the basis for even nuttier thoughts.
It's sad for him, it's sadder for her, it's even sadder for their kids who might me next. It's just shit all the way down.
I do see a trend with the conservative base here where getting them to admit they are wrong about ANYTHING is like a personal attack and they simply are not equipped with the emotional prowess and maturity needed to learn from it.
It's a core characteristic they've learned from HitlerPig, who learned it from his mentor Roy Cohn, who always said that you never admit that you were wrong or were defeated. Always declare victory, and NEVER, EVER apologize.
HitlerPig lives by that, and his followers have adopted it as well.
Thats true, but i think this guy is kinda next level.
Gotta double down on the delusions or face the unimaginable guilt.
I wonder if that is what it will take for him to change his opinion.
Probably something that alters his brain's physical structure.
Yeah, their statement made that crystal clear. They're calling her a burglar.
It will either change his opinion or his marital status
Majority of them, do not give a shit, They will just find someone new.
I think you're right. He's been conditioned to keep the faith and look past the cult's obvious failure to keep its promise of protecting him and his; if he only keeps the faith, everything will surely come right. He still believes that surely dear leader would never hurt him. I think his wife getting flown out to Serbia without a trial miiiight just be the wakeup call.
With all the rapes happening at the ICE Camps, She may end up pregnant on the inbetween or dead honestly.
Kinda sounds like religions...don't question, just believe.
Cult, religion, two sides of the same fucking coin.
Yup and they way they talk—with made up terms and repeating eventually meaningless words like woke and DEI—it’s exactly how cults like Heaven’s Gate, Jim Jomes, and Branch Davidians talked and controlled their followers.
At this point, I think it's pretty safe to call MAGA a religion, specifically an offshot of American Evangelism. I don't think you can call its faithful Christians anymore, because while they're happy to borrow all the trappings and symbols of Christianity, every place where Christ and Trump conflict, Trump wins, including who gets to be Godhead. I'm really not exaggerating, I think a lot of people have walked into an entirely new faith without yet realizing it. If you're looking for a modern anti-christ, it's hard to do better than Trump.
The followers of the antichrist will wear the mark of the beast on their foreheads
The antichrist will appear to be mortally wounded but miraculously survive
The antichrist is one who is arrogant and boastful, loves making public threats, and is obsessed with winning and being viewed as a conqueror
The antichrist will be someone who somehow sneaks into power rather than being properly handed it, specifically by colluding with a few powerful people because he does not have the majority on his side
Someone who will develop a cult of personality, and turn otherwise good people away from what they previously knew as righteous
Someone who’s rise to power and imperviousness to being stopped will serve as justification of his righteousness to those who have been tricked
Someone who “will distribute among his followers the plunder and wealth of the rich—something his predecessors had never done”(Daniel 11:24). Obviously were reading “followers” as his wealthiest friends that prop up his position
He will “try to change the set times and the laws”, “cause deceit to prosper”, and “will greatly honor those who acknowledge him. He will make them rulers over many people and will sell them land at a price.”
He will wage war on “the kingdom of the south” and target its people.
He will do everything that he does in service to himself and to the detriment of all those who are suffering:
There will be a leader over the land who will not help the ones who are dying.
He will not go looking for the young who got lost, or care for the children.
He won’t help the ones who are sick or broken, or even give nourishment to the hungry ones who are still healthy.” - Zechariah 11:16-17
He will be friends with a leader in Israel and “will do as he pleases; no one will be able to stand against him. He will establish himself in the Beautiful Land, and will have the power to destroy it. He will determine to come with the might of his entire kingdom, and make an alliance… then, he will turn his attention to the coastlands.” - (Daniel 11:16-18)
Literally the only aspect of Trump that doesnt match the biblical description of the antichrist is that the biblical antichrist is ultimately stopped by the courts. And we all know the supreme court isnt doing shit about this one…
I don't remember biblical antichrist being stopped by courts, I seem to remember that he ultimately gets yeeted into hell.
the biblical antichrist is ultimately stopped by the courts.
Really? I'm interested in more about this. I'm not religious, but these parallels have always interested me, and I'd like to read more about this courts bit.
I was raised evangelical but am now thoroughly deconstructed. There’s some interesting things here, but keep in mind that all “prophesy” is designed to be interpretive.
While a lot of the claims of the person above do have scriptural origins, there are a few problems. What I am about to provide is done so for academic purposes, not religious or ideological ones. I do not believe in or endorse religious scripture, but I am bothered by how casually and rampantly it is misrepresented for religious or political gain, as if it isn’t readily available to read in it’s original languages and contexts.
It could be in a court if jesus beats him in a tennis match. I haven't read that bit so I don't know what's actually supposed to happen.
This is 100% correct. Evangelicals Christianity, never a beacon of rationality or clarity of doctrine, has now been fully captured by MAGA. There is no functional difference between Christian Nationalism and Evangelical American Christianity.
I worry this is only the beginning. I genuinely believe that Evangelicals will also embrace AI and incorporate it into their beliefs somehow. I also believe Trump will be divinized before his term is up - at least within Evangelical Christian Nationalism.
