@RevDrBarber An honest question. What if more folk staying home than voting for either candidate amounted to an authentic win for a fundamental shift in approach? Why bet on the losing horse in a one horse race, after all? Or do you have it that radical evil is a realistic Christian choice?

Planetary prophetology's unifying articulation names it: the surge of a crowning planetary authority revealing a realm and reign of truth transcending the mimetic crisis of chronically malignant fictions and fabrications sustaining the whole, aggregate shitshow. t.co/aI7XKvklKU

What happens to our world when the precarious order of false transcendence imposed by the political mechanism ceases to function? Rohr: “The True Sacred, which is synonymous with the Reign of God, unmasks and relativizes the false sacred." · In terms of truly planetary fundamentals, 'American democracy' in 2024 offers what? A choice for genocide: radical evil. Our alternative to the demonic complex, then? Religion? Loisy: "Jesus announced the Kingdom and it was the Church that arrived." The Kingdom, then. What is it?

Brown: "The real fight is not the political fight but to put an end to politics." t.co/dwcJHedrPT
