Called Project 2025, it would block the expansion of the electrical grid for wind and solar energy; slash funding for the Environmental Protection Agency’s environmental justice office; shutter the Energy Department’s renewable energy offices; prevent states from adopting California’s car pollution standards; and delegate more regulation of polluting industries to Republican state officials.
Literally trying to bring about the apocalypse.
Not even hyperbole:

"Trump is listening to a voice they were not: evangelical Christians who appear to believe in the “Rapture.” Some, like vice president Mike Pence and secretary of state Mike Pompeo, hold posts inside his cabinet. For Rapture Christians, returning Jerusalem to the Jewish people is a key to the second coming of Christ.
A fundamental part of believing in the Rapture is believing that all of Jerusalem (currently split between Arab and Israeli-held territory) must be returned to the Jewish people, and then the rest of the world must go to war. For Christians awaiting end times, Israel “is at the center of the end of history,” said Greg Carey, a professor of the New Testament at Lancaster Theological Seminary. “History will culminate with this great battle” in Israel, Carey said.
Some White House officials and supporters have described the Trump administration’s actions in Israel with similar language. ”When we open the American Embassy in Jerusalem, we will in a very real sense end this historic friction, we’ll embrace reality,” vice president Pence said in an interview with the Christian Broadcast Network on May 3. Trump supporter and Fox News host Jeanine Pirro said Monday that the president had fulfilled a biblical prophesy.
Critics warn that Rapture-believing evangelicals pose a threat to global peace. “They want to bring on the Kingdom of Christ, and their version is weaponized,” said Mikey Weinstein, the founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, a watchdog group that tracks Christian fundamentalism in the military. “They want to do whatever they can do to bring their version of Jesus back.”
Ah yes. The best way to make Christ come back. Destroy the planet 👍
Not only that, but these scum swear they’ll be saved and go to heaven. They do things against practically every word Jesus says. Love thy neighbor, thou shall not kill, steal, covet, blah blah. Yet they really believe all will be forgotten and forgiven? That’s gold medal mental gymnastics.
IMO Jesus is going to come back, take one look around, and start flipping tables.
Republicans and Americans, mostly, are so far afield from the teachings of Jesus that J.H.C. will call for another flood. Or asteroids. Or 40 years of volcanos.
No, just the Republican Americans. The ones who say they’re Christian but completely ignore how often the Bible outright says to love those around us in favor of hatred because of some irrelevant thing that doesn’t affect them in the slightest, like race or sexuality.
The rest of us normal people are capable of acceptance of each other and desire for the greater good.
40 is being far too lenient.
I don’t even want that loser back. He can’t get his dad off his back, he obviously couldn’t get him of our’s, absolute useless shit.
The above doctrine is NOT Christian. Those statements are packed full of lies. The people who make them are literally demons.
we’re talking about government policy. what is or is not christian is entirely irrelevant.
They SHOULDN’T be “christian”, but in practice they are. I get your point, but it’s a “no true Scotsman” argument – the “christian” political machine is still supporting these politicians who push these doctrines.
I mean, I just got home from church. I am aware. But this is what’s driving actual policies that Republicans want to enact.
And how do you know that?
