I figured I might as well plug a few holes in yesterday’s screeds against Trump, so I spent some time this morning reading about the Gorsuch guy that just got on the Supreme Court.
After reading, I was unimpressed. And bored.
IDK much about Gorsuch, but he seems to me to be just the same old, same old, yet again. Blah.
After learning a bit about Gorsuch, I was not surprised to find out that he was previously nominated to the court by by Dubya. Gorsuch seems very “15 years ago” in his leanings and presentation. Which, natch, makes him a perfect ally for Dubya II, Donald Trump.
Basically, Gorsuch is what you would get if you were to think of a Republican stereotype from the mid Bush II years. His personal life is very “religious”, meaning Jesus-oriented, and it seems that his faith “guides him” when making decisions. He’s very conservative-lite in most other areas. He seems like the kind of guy that a sheltered, upper-class liberal like Trump or those rioting at Berkley would think of as being “far right”.
As far as those guys that support Trump crowing about Gorsuch… meh. I am unconvinced.
One thing that sticks out like a sore thumb to me is Gorsuch’s admiration for the Jesus character. As I’ve already pointed out here more than once, the Jesus ship sailed a long, long time ago. Whites in this country do not much respect or support Christianity, and I would argue that Trump’s base has rejected Christ-worship more than anyone else.
The White churches are empty. Nobody goes, anymore. Not even for Christmas.
And look at the media that Whites consume. Jesus stopped being a factor amongst Trump’s base a long, long time ago. I don’t think they care anymore, truly. And TBH, I think that if anything, Gorsuch’s Christianity is more likely to be a problem than a benefit.
The simple fact is that Christianity and White people do not mix. There is not a single notable Christian clergyman anywhere on Earth that holds what could be considered pro-white views. Not one Cardinal, not one bishop, anywhere. 99% of career Christians, from the lowliest altar boy to the Queen and Pope themselves, hold views that are diametrically opposed to everything that the White working classes in America hold dear, and everyone knows it.
This is why my eyes glaze over when I read about stuff concerning Planned Parenthood, or abortion, or any of that stuff. That’s just Christian stuff, and since nobody is Christian anymore besides illegal Mexicans, does any of that stuff even matter? I don’t think it does.
To me, Gorsuch’s appointment is just more oligarch nonsense, and the fact that Trump pushed this guy through at all cost- despite not raising a finger for the border wall- is proof positive for how estranged Trump truly is. To me, Gorsuch’s appointment is just the typical GOP jawboning that we’ve all suffered through since that idiot Reagan was elected. Same old, same old, all over again.
Blech.
