TRUMP A "GOLDEN CALF"

 TRUMP   A  GOLDEN CALF -- A Perfect MetaphorTheGolden Calf is one of the most famous stories in the Old Testament. The Israelites, newly freed from Egyptian slavery, have a crisis of faith while God is speaking with Moses on Mount Sinai.                                                                                                                                                  

They melt down the golden jewelry to construct a physical god — a statue in the shape of a calf— to WORSHIP in place of their TRUE GOD. It’s a story about the allure of idolatry, how easy it is to abandon one’s commitments to principle in favor of shiny, easy falsehoods.

The party truly it seems has sacrificed its commitment to political principles, including previously on the altar of Trumpism.

White  evangelicals quickly abandoned their alleged commitments to godliness in public servants and embraced a man accused of serial sexual assault who had an affair with a porn star and paid her hush money to cover it up. Conservatism, once seen as a high-minded intellectual tradition, became undeniably base and degraded in the Trump years.

But above all else, This IDOL points to the way in which the GOP remains the party of Trump even after his failed presidency, and BIG LIE attempt to steal a second presidency — Gaudy Golden Aesthetic and all.  

I WILL JUST LEAVE THIS WITH YOU!!!

In the Bible, the Golden Calf story ends with a furious Moses destroying the idol — dumping its ashes into water and forcing the Israelites to drink it as punishment.  

Galatians 6:7  Be not deceived; God Is Not MOCKED: for whatsoever a man soweth, that Shall He Also Reap.

Psalm 9:17  The WICKED shall be turned into HELL, and all the Nations that Forget God.
