“For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ”

-Jesus, From The Gospel of Luke

Trump Derangement Syndrome. Otherwise known as “TDS”. We hear of it often from various Conservative broadcasters, influencers, and pundits. It is the obsession of The Left, Democrats, Liberals, and The Useful Idiots. A hatred so embedded into the marrow of these lunatics that they can no longer function rationally. Protesting kings that we do not have. Dressing up like Pokémon characters and chickens in order to get their point across. Whatever that point may be. Attacking law enforcement agencies, such as ICE, while they are attempting to capture and arrest illegals that have committed atrocities such as rape, murder, and trafficking. Calling for Trump’s impeachment because to them he is no longer mentally fit to lead our nation (or because they simply do not like him). All the while ignoring the authoritarian rule of Joe Biden and Barack Obama, especially under the mandates of The Sickness and the “Buy or else” edict of Obamacare. Completely ignoring the record number of deportations committed by their lord and savior, Obama. Completely ignoring the many times that the both of them have bombed nations and nearly created the Third World War. They turn a blind eye to the massive amount of inflation that both presidents created that caused a massive increase in the cost of goods and gas prices well over $3 per gallon. Nevermind that Joe Biden was in dementia the entirety of his presidency and most certainly was not fit for office. No. You see, these issues are fully permissible as long as it is their king doing it. They will not complain over the punishment as long as they love the person making it hurt so good. Sadistic. So now President Trump lives rent free in their empty heads as they stand in the streets and scream towards the sky. Sorrow becomes them as Misery drives their ship. They cannot function in a realm devoid of politics. When one of their god’s sins comes to light, they respond with “But Trump…”. Because their minds cannot comprehend or conform to anything but their hatred for him. They cannot bear to look into the mirror. To look upon their own altar. Their gods do not possess the capacity to sin.

But there is another form of Trump Derangement Syndrome that no one speaks of. Whereas the one that we are familiar with drowns itself in Hate, this one drowns itself in the polar opposite. Love. Or more particularly, Devotion. Yes. Believe or not there are a great deal of Conservatives out there, especially in the MAGA movement, that love and obsess over President Trump so much that they too can no longer function in a normal sense. Completely blinded by the adoration that they have. Complete blind devotion. In the eyes of The Left, everything that Trump does is toxic. But in the eyes of Conservatives with TDS, he can do no wrong. Many treat him as if he is the second coming of Christ. The lord and savior to The Right. Some call it Trump Delusional Syndrome. Some call it Trump Devotion Syndrome. 

Many do come close to placing Trump upon The Cross of Christ. Unknowingly. Because again, the devotion is blinding. Yet, to hold Trump to such esteem is blasphemous. The Apostle Paul said that you will know them by their fruits. The bitter fruit that grows upon the branches of Donald Trump is of rot. So much so that even good fruit gives way to caution. A true Christian would not have been divorced and remarried several times as his marriages have been intertwined with unrepentant prideful adultery. A true Christian would understand Doctrine enough to not hire an adulterous charlatan such as the false prophetess Paula White to be their spiritual advisor (who also recently compared him to Christ). But, in all honesty, his choice is fitting. A true Christian would not speak in childish insults to those that he does not like or that disagree with him. A true Christian would think lowly of himself as he has an understanding of humility, standing before the foot of The Cross. Trump is very arrogant and thinks of himself as godlike. Everything that he does and gives himself credit for is either “beautiful”, “wonderful”, or “great”. That all his greatness has never been achieved before his time and will never be outdone. And a true Christian would understand that we are all in sin and in need of repentance. Trump, for one, definitely needs repentance. A repentance that he once stated he does not need.

Trump is not a king in policy, as The Left would have you believe. However, he speaks as if everything that he touches turns to gold. He surrounds himself with people that practically worship him. Complete loyalty. And God forbid if you are his disciple and criticize or question his motives. Otherwise he will cast you out into the darkness and throw you under the bus and run you over again and again. Just ask Megan Kelly. Just ask Tucker Carlson. Just ask Candace Owens. Alex Jones. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Thomas Massie. All people that were once MAGA. All people that were loyalists. That fought the fight beside Trump. That fought for Trump. Cast out because they questioned him on his relationship with Israel, the Iran War, and The Epstein Files. Not just cast out because they questioned him, but because their loyalty was called into question. And of course, they faced the wrath of his childish insults for simply not bowing down to his will. The sad thing is that his loyal MAGA supporters have turned on these once prominent fighters for freedom and truth as well. One minute they are loved. The next minute they are a curse. Why? Because Trump turned on them. They are becoming as The Left. Unable to think for themselves and only obey their political gods and The Voice of The Right.

Recently Trump posted a photo of himself as Jesus Christ healing a man. When questioned about it, he said that even though he did not create it, he did post it on social media. When the MAGA cult was questioned about it, they said that more than likely The Artificial had posted it. When questioned about his bombing of Iran, Trump stated that it was because they were two weeks away from creating a nuclear weapon. Despite the fact that, according to the mastermind behind the bombings (Benjamin Netanyahu), they have been two weeks away from creating a nuclear weapon for nearly thirty years. The MAGA cult was quick to justify Trump’s actions, despite the fact that when the military actions of Presidents Biden and Obama could have created a major world war, MAGA was enraged. When inflation during the Obama and Biden administrations had created unaffordable fuel prices and energy costs, Conservatives and MAGA were shaking their fists. Yet now that it is by the hand of Trump, it is necessary if it means defeating Iran in order to Make Israel Great Again. MAGA is enraged at the list of Democrats that have been involved with The Epstein Files and the potential client list and flight logs. They have been wanting answers and justice for years. However, they said nothing when Trump covered it up. He even insulted them for demanding its release. Treating them as if they had fallen for a figment of their imagination as he basically said “What list?”, and essentially called his loyalists “Stupid”. Yet, in time, they accepted this coverup because it was the choice action of Trump. Even going as far as proclaiming it as a “4D chess” tactic to confuse the Democrats. And they got back in line and shut up about it. And then came the bombing of Iran. Now everyone has forgotten about Jeffrey Epstein. So I suppose that Trump was playing mind games after all. Just not only against The Left. Next distraction, please.

And the MAGA cult holds out a hope that is commingled with denial. When Trump’s promises seem to falter, or his latest sins become public, they often say something along the lines of “Oh, you just wait and see what he will do next.” Again, “4D chess”. Yet nothing ever happens. Epstein becomes a memory lost in the halls of history. We wonder if our sons will survive the draft. The Swamp remains full. Food and energy costs continue to rise. And we are essentially told to “deal with” and “get over it” when gas gets to $4.50 a gallon.

The foundational issue in American politics is not just that we are a two party system, but that the voters treat their parties as a religion. The Left thought that Kamala was going to save us all from the disaster left behind from her and one of the “best presidents” to ever walk the earth, Joe Biden. They treat Barack Obama as if he is The Christ. Anywhere that he trods turns to gold. Every word that comes forth from his mouth is as if he was speaking miracles into being. Water into wine! Their sins are disregarded and rebranded as virtuous deeds. Obama sending millions to Iran and forcing everyone to purchase health insurance. Biden’s disastrous and deadly pullout from Afghanistan and forcing people to take The Needle to “save” us from The Sickness. Not to mention his quid pro quo with Ukraine that he confessed to on camera. All accepted by The Left. Only because it was their gods doing it. President Trump creating a war with Iran for the sake of Israel. Telling us that we have won, all the while Iran is shooting down our fighters. Also covering up one of the largest pedophile and trafficking rings to ever come before the public. One that even accuses him of having bloody guilt on his hands. Multiple affairs. Talking to the adults in the room with third grade insults. Even leveling himself up with Christ. Yet this is acceptable to The New Right that we call MAGA. Because it is the acts of their god. Imagine the rage from MAGA if Biden and Obama had done what he has. 

Sadly, because our parties are now religions and the ascribed “Greatest President Ever” for each party have been crowned “god”, it has caused as much conflict as Israel and Islam. Some would desire to see conversion to their ideology. Some would rather that the other just go away and live somewhere else. Some would rather see the other side breath their last breath. If you do not agree with The Left, then you are automatically crowned as one with the “MAGA cult”. You are believed to be inbred and so far held back mentally that your mind would beg to at least be reprobate. That you run around in a red MAGA hat, wearing a Trump T-shirt all the while shooting ARs into the sky, shouting “Wooo hooo! ‘Merica!!!” while drooling chewing tobacco juice all over your exposed obese belly. If you are not loyal to MAGA and President Trump, then you are a liberal that blindly worships President Obama. You are automatically crowned as woke and cannot tell the difference between a woman and a man. That you protest everything that makes you cry as you are careful not to spill your soy latte all over your rainbow flag while trying to not snag your septum ring while taking selfies of your purple hair. As I once had a Democrat tell me on social media: “There is no in between. You are either for us or against us. You can’t be a Republican that steps outside of MAGA.” Sadly you are not allowed to awaken to the truth of both parties. You are not allowed to question the narratives. There evidently is no middle ground. Or no high ground at that. Only two paths.

Both parties are corrupted. I had finally come to that realization when both sides of the aisle recently blocked a law that would hold members of The House accountable for sexual misconduct (House Resolution 1100). Imagine that! They cannot agree on anything except for covering each other’s backs when sexual deviancy comes into play. Two wings of the same bird. They only pretend to hate each other that our devotion to the gods and the zealousness of our religion will cause us to hate each other. Because a divided people at war are easier to distract. Distracted people are easier to manipulate. Manipulated people are easier to control. Both parties are corrupted indeed. Only one is more sane than the other.

So where does that leave people like myself? I am a Christian first. I am a Conservative second. Unfortunately that leaves very little options at the ballot box. The Democrat Party is the party of insanity. Confused gender ideology that is used to groom small children to follow in their cult. The idea that a fetus is nothing more than a clump of useless cancerous cells until its head crowns and it lets out its first cry. And even then it is OK to terminate it. The desire to see criminals set free into the streets to stir the pot of Chaos, all the while law enforcement is told to stand down. Applauding in the public square as people that they do not agree with are assassinated. Begging for someone to put the rest in the crosshairs. Therefore I will never in a million years vote Democrat. It goes against Conscience. It goes against Faith. The Word and will of my God. However, as we see from the actions of this current administration, the corruption is no better for them. We will continue to drop bombs for Israel. We will continue to hide sexual deviants within the walls of Washington. We will continue to wait for justice for Epstein’s victims. We will continue to struggle in a broken economy just as long as The Elites get theirs. And if you do not like that, then you are an anathema to be cast out into the Darkness by the devoted MAGA Cult. Because to question Trump’s self proclaimed “Midas Touch” is akin to treason. It is heresy. It is apostasy.

In the eyes of MAGA, Trump can do no wrong. Even when his sins are on display for all to see, surely they will make excuses to exonerate him. To The Left, Obama is as sinless as Christ. And anyone that he appoints as an apostle too has the sovereign power to save America. Whether it is Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, or Joe Biden. Both men crowned as “savior”. Both men given the keys to Hope. Many a helpless man and woman putting their Faith into both. But what The Left and MAGA fail to realize is that, like any other politician, these men are nothing more than puppets. Bought and paid for by influencers. By donors that desire investment. There is a reason why Trump 1.0 is different than Trump 2.0. The newer version is protected and is protecting. Serving us lies and disappointment. The economy is still collapsing. The Swamp is still deep. New wars rage. And I suppose that the Post Office lost everyone’s tariff rebate checks? It is perfectly fine to question why The Left never released the Epstein Files to condemn him when it was in their power. It is perfectly fine to question why Trump refuses to lay guilt at the feet of The Left that appears on the pages as well. There is nothing wrong with asking why Elite donors from The Left that once tried to destroy Trump and rig the elections against him, are now donating money to fund his White House Ballroom. It is okay to rise up, MAGA, and say that Trump is no longer one of us. That he is one with them. But, be prepared to be black listed and ostracized by those of your own family. Because no one, and I mean NO ONE, speaks evil about Trump the savior. Just like the heartless parents with the prodigal son, you will be disowned by your own.

“Thus says the Lord: ‘Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the Lord. He is like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see any good come. He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness, in an uninhabited salt land. Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.’”

-The Prophet Jeremiah 

Now you, beloved one of The Way, may say that you do not place Trump upon an altar. Your Faith stands before MAGA. Then I ask of you this. When he speaks in insults, do you too laugh? Do you excuse his adulterous affairs? Do you explain away his lies and sins? Do you support all that he does, even if it makes no sense? Do you dare question him? Do you challenge the narrative birthed from The Right with the same fervent passion that you do for The Left? Does your zealously for the MAGA Movement cloud your vision of Christ? Do you question whether Trump’s vision falls in line with God’s will? Do you think that Trump is exemplary of The Christian Faith? Do you believe that he is anointed by God to save America? Do you believe that, thus far, Trump is succeeding in saving America with godly integrity? Do you believe that such salvation falls in line with God’s path of Salvation? Self reflection can be an eye opening experience. Or it can be your own damnation.

As for me, I trust only One Savior. One that is infallible, unlike these broken men and women that America sets upon the altar. Unlike these corrupt pagans that too will die and become as the dust of the earth. For my King rules above all those mortal kings that cannot save even themselves. 

So the question is “Who do I support?”. Am I now a Democrat? Awaiting the coming of our next “savior”? Harris? Newsom? Ocasio-Cortez? No. Again, I will never vote Democrat. Am I part of the MAGA Cult? Praying that Trump can somehow rectify The Constitution to allow himself a third term? Certain that he will save us from the corruption that has plagued America for longer than it should? No. I have become Independent in political thought. A Conservative that tilts towards Libertarian. At times that can be an oxymoron. Yet, unfortunately, there is no party for me to belong to. Because the third parties are a joke. They never have a prayer to win. And many of them share in the ungodly views of The Left. Therefore I am left to continue to vote for the right wing of the same bird. Because a vote for anyone else is a vote for The Left. And I would much rather my meaningless little contribution be a preventative measure. And if I so choose to continue to vote, then I choose to vote for the lesser of the two evils. And evil they all certainly are.

Do not get me wrong. I do desire to “Make America Great Again”. However, my idea of MAGA differs from that of President Trump and to some extent, the MAGA cult. I desire the America of yesteryear. One where the two parties (both politicians and the people) agree to disagree and carry on. Instead of trying to eliminate each other. Where politicians have some semblance of integrity and work for the betterment of the people of our nation. Instead of pushing agendas for the betterment of their donors. Where corruption is held accountable. Instead of being covered up. Where term limits exist to keep them honest. Instead of comfortable in their greed and power. An America where We The People are the focal point of the economy. Where a single income can provide for the family. Where life is affordable, the streets are safe, and Christ reigns in the hearts of Man. Unfortunately, I do believe that we are too far gone to turn back. Corrupt men do not willingly give up power.

Yet I come to the understanding that none of them will save us. Only by Christ, and Christ alone, can we be saved from the wicked world that these lesser gods have created. Even in our hour of suffering under the weight of oppression, it is He that gives us an undying Hope when the people that we trust let us down.
