There is something brewing in American Politics. Progressive candidates for office may actually have a chance to be elected. Of course that means certain death and destruction for Evangelical Christians, with pastors and other religious leaders sure to be executed in front of churches. This news has been greeted ecstatically by right wing Evangelical Christians, who believe they finally have a valid reason to feel persecuted.
The last couple of years have been horrible for Christians, what with being around 70% of the population of the United States. Many people simple do not believe them when they wail about how difficult following their faith has become. It reached a new low recently when the Supreme Court became stacked in their favor, taking away the complaint about activist courts and Liberal Judges.
They long for the good old days of President Obama, when they were stripped of their rights. Rights like discriminating against LGBT persons and denying reproductive choice have been returning to them under Trump, and it's becoming harder to remain resentful and angry. What is even more disheartening is the fact that all of the good persecution is going to the very people they are persecuting. Fortunately for them they have no concept of irony or they might explode.
Now with the possibility of a Democratic majority in the House, they can bring their gloom and doom hyperbole to never before seen levels. No longer would they have to suffer feeling content at other's suffering, but they can justify their very own suffering. Even better, with progressives in charge, they can claim anybody who is not them is receiving an unfair advantage by not being treated unfairly.
A blue wave in the Midterm Elections would provide a major boon to the doomsayers of Christianity in the United States. Plus actual good things would happen for the country too. That is a win-win situation for everyone.
