The funny thing about America's Stonehenge:

It is either a 4,000 year old burial site, or a group of settlers moved there in 1700's, built the structures, then left for one reason or another, or it was a tourist trap deliberately made by a farmer in the early 1900's. There are convincing arguments for all three. Then there's the weird ahistorical bullshit like Cathar priests settling there to hide the grail or that it's the site of a magic leyline that will bring about the New Dawn

Point is there's historical knowledge that American historians don't know, and could be lost forever if someone prone to reading conspiracies on the internet decides to gently caress with it like that

american stonehedge is neat as either (1) a cool old native american site! (2) a colonial ruin! (3) something made by a scam artist in 1920 to convince people leaf erksson discovered massachusetts.

either way, i just think its neat

Was going to post an excerpt but there's a lot to unpack here so I'd suggest reading the whole thing

Basically, being a Trumpfan or a QAnon is really an excuse to be a vile piece of poo poo towards everyone around you without consequence. If Trump can get away with it, why can't I? So Bobert/Greene/Cawthorn are basically set for life, because you can have the backing of the entire right-wing media establishment.

But at lower profiles, it turns out you can be a very small fish in a small pond. For instance this shithead from North Dakota just got outright expelled. A full-on bipartisan effort because he had a compulsive desire to be a creep towards everyone around him. Sure he'll try and hit the circuit about how cancel culture has Gone Mad, but because he wasn't fighting the good fight against Nancy Pelosi or AOC or Biden he's poo poo out of luck.

John Adams is on the far right. I think it's James Madison in the brown suit on the left. Billy Graham in profile on the right in the back. That great American patriot Robert E Lee of course. And maybe Calvin loving Coolidge in the middle, far back.

They have to be extra large, Benjamin J. Grimm style. Because someone once at some point suggested that Trump's hands might be small and that means his dick might be small and nothing about Trump can be small, especially his dick, since he's Big League, bangs chicks and is awesome and the best at everything ever, no take backs.

I'm kidding but, seriously, the artists that love DJT go out of their way to make his hands extra large simply because dear leader got his fee-fees hurt once when someone said they were small. IIRC, he was so petty about it he even brought it up in a debate.

That would really mean something if they actually worshipped Jesus or God

I wasn't sure if McNaughton was Catholic or not so I looked it up and it turns out he's actually a devout Mormon. That's funny to me because Mormons are considered even worse than Catholics as far as evangelical Christians are concerned.

Right, evangelicals like that Mormons and often Catholics will vote in line with them and thus are useful, and will even defend them to an extent when they perceive those denominations as being attacked for "Christian values," but as far as beliefs go Mormons come out of it worse. Or at least, they used to, since it now seems like Chick's "Catholics are secretly worshiping Satan" beliefs have become more acceptable.

But anyway the big thing is that Mormons believe God and Jesus were once normal humans like you and me but achieved godhood, and if you are devout then you will become like them too one day. Evangelicals really don't like this, because "You can be like God" is one of the things the serpent told Eve to trick her into eating the fruit. Also the evangelical idea of God is he's eternal and unchanging, and saying he was once just a dude kind of contradicts that.

At this point I really don't think Evangelicals give a flying gently caress about doctrine anymore, when it's more about culture war. Since they're a rapidly decreasing minority, they have more common ground with conservative catholics and mormons, and they common enemy is in the increasing majority of people who really don't like their bullshit.

They bought out a gilded statue of Trump to CPAC and people started "ironically" worshipping it.
