Protest Convoy Headed to Southern Border in Texas Is Calling Itself an ‘Army of God’

This kinda shit is at least part of the reason the fastest growing religion in America is “none.”

If there’s one thing Jesus was consistent about, it’s that poor refugees seeking shelter should be ruthlessly murdered by drowning in a river tangled in razor wire.

Pretty sure that’s in the gospels.

So they're basically ISIS

Most likely scenario is that they drive around in their trucks waving both flags of the US and flags of traitors to the US, block traffic, and post to Facebook.

Worst case scenario, there is a wave a of hate crimes as these hyped up fascists try to "defend America" by picking fights with any random brown person they see.

Best case scenario, they try messing with federal agents, get arrested, and wont be voting in November.

Y'all Queda is mobilizing.

This honestly feels like a Russian intelligence op. Not that these yokels are Russian spies, but that they've been duped by misinformation, spun up my Russian troll farms, and aimed at the southwest border.

They are dumb enough to do the rest on their own.

There's so much fucking crazy in just the first two paragraphs of that article:

A trucker convoy of “patriots” is heading to the U.S. border with Mexico next week, as the standoff between Texas and the federal government intensifies. The organizers of the “Take Our Border Back” convoy have called themselves “God’s army” and say they’re on a mission to stand up against the “globalists” who they claim are conspiring to keep U.S. borders open and destroy the country.

“This is a biblical, monumental moment that’s been put together by God,” one convoy organizer said on a recent planning call. “We are besieged on all sides by dark forces of evil,” said another. “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God. It is time for the remnant to rise.” (The remnant, from the Book of Revelation, are the ones who remain faithful to Jesus Christ in times of crisis).

I'm no theist, but... If God existed, and was all-powerful as theists believe, why the fuck does he need an army?

Lol, it always comes back to an intellectually deficient group of morons and their baseless deity.

Army Of "Wouldn't Recognize God If He Got In The Passenger Seat."

That's who they really are.

Lol buncha incels. Grown ass men who have families and shit to do, even if they share the same politics, wouldnt be caught dead doing this shit.

Same group of morons pretended to be truckers in Canada to protest vaccination mandates.

Ads for the convoy have gone up on 40 digital billboards in Florida, Texas, Louisiana, and California, courtesy of a “private donor” whose identity organizers would not disclose. 

Oh, I'm willing to bet:

It's six letters.

Starts with an R

Ends with an A

And is currently getting absolutely decimated with mothballed weapons we last used 15 years or so ago.

the major downside of increased access to communications technology is the nutters and crazy people more easily congregate...

Christian ISIS

Ffs can you lot just have your civil war already so the rest of us can deal with the fall out

Sounds an awful lot like levying war against the United States, or adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.

Ah yes, its right there in the Bible for anyone to read....... Only it isn't.

All of that military jargon, and I'll bet the number of actual vets in that convoy is a small percentage.

Not that there aren't MAGA ex-military, just that they don't as much get a kick out of cosplaying as such. If they liked it that much, they wouldn't have ETSed. Or, dishonerable discharge; I guess there could be a few of those.

I am willing to lay a bet that they completely fuck this up.

I prefer the original Arabic name, Hezbollah.

God was an immigrant

These guys probably don't hate Illinois Nazis.

"Protest Convoy" or "Anti-Immigrant Caravan"

God wants brown people to drown and suffer.

THIS IS WHAT THEY LITERALLY BELIEVE

For the uninformed, Here's an illustration of how actual Armies of God handle border walls

I didn't have "crusade" on my 2024 bingo card.

Republicans saw the Taliban still in power after being fully occupied by the US for how long and decided "that's who we're going to model ourselves after"

Blow their mind and counter protest by praying for them and show up wearing priest outfits and have your own Jesus. Make it a whole thing that your godlier

Oops what happened to Ukraine and Palestine?

Every time

A group of six patriot-world influencers, including Kim Yeater, who runs a self-empowerment self-help group and an anti-voter fraud group, started organizing the convoy around a month ago. “God’s army is rising up,” she said on the planning call. “We all have been chosen for this time.”

Religion influencing the state is anti-constitutional, blocking the freedom of others, blocking the state, and opposing equal rights, even for non-nationals, is anti-patriotism.

Feelings of patriotism are based on the positive values the country embraces—like freedom, justice, and equality. The patriot believes that both the system of government and the people of their country are inherently good and work together for a better quality of life.

In contrast, feelings of nationalism are based on a belief that one’s country is superior to all others. It also carries a connotation of distrust or disapproval of other countries, leading to the assumption that other countries are rivals. While patriots do not automatically denigrate other countries, nationalists do, sometimes to the point of calling for their country’s global dominance. Nationalism, through its protectionist beliefs, is the polar opposite of globalism.

While I don't agree that nationalism necessarily perceives a superiority, it does prioritise the nation as always being number one, even at to cost of others.

This is the hill they dying on?

I think strategically the best thing the feds could do is back off for two weeks. Does anyone believe these convoys have enough supplies to keep for more than 48 hours?

Failing that keep this up until November. We know these guys won’t mail in ballot.

Fuckwits.

Isn't canon in their book that Sky Daddy's son spoke positively about immigrants?

Good ole Texas. Never change babe

Good luck fighting drone bombers with your little pop guns, assholes.

So, send them to Him. They're only too eager, so why obstruct such a profound drive? 🤷🏼‍♂️
