I was thinking about the RWNJ "Christians" who met this weekend to worship TFG [View all]

The mantra “praise the lord” popped into my head. I wondered what kind of idiots continue to think TFG is the new messiah. And I remembered a childhood friend that I haven’t seen for many years. I ran into his parents at a restaurant many years ago. We’d been best friends for years until late in HS he got to be a jock and his ego got carried away. I finally had enough and just cut him off. I saw him a couple times in college and hadn’t seen him in years. So his mom and dad gave me his phone number and I was back visiting my folks so I gave him a call and offered to come over for a visit. He had a bike ride planned and he didn’t want to change his plan to see me. He kept interspersing the conversation with “praise the lord” which turned me off for a couple reasons.

Anyway, getting to my point, he’d be one of those phony Christians that would be a dedicated TFG supporter. I don’t know how he changed so much. I used to feel kind of bad about cutting him off way back then but I realized we’d drifted so far apart it was inevitable and don’t feel bad about it anymore.
