MANIFESTO OF THE CLOUT CARCASS
We only open bodies that died of clout poisoning.
Public figures only.
No civilians. No pets. No mercy.
Official causes of death:
• Performative allyship (fake tears, real merch)
• Hypocrisy overdose (flip-flop + brand deal)
• Grift under halo (NFTs for charity)
• Ego bloat (selfie asphyxiation)
@SenTomCotton Your are right- the United States should never restrain Israel from defending itself against blood-thirsty terrorists- but you are also wrong by stating that President Trump is right. He isn't, he hasn't.
You can celebrate a man’s life in so many ways. You can name a bill after him. A library, an institute, a bridge. Normal leaders who seek veneration settle for remembrance. What happened at Mar-a-Lago is not remembrance. It is something else entirely.
A 22-foot golden statue. Commissioned, dedicated and blessed. There is a specific thought process behind choosing that form of honour, and it cannot be pure. Trump is a flamboyant man who has never hidden his appetite for rare glory, a man who by his own suggestion thinks of himself in divine categories. The statue is consistent with who he is. That part is almost unsurprising.
What is inexcusable is the pastors like you. Men who preach Jesus Christ, the one who was God and chose to wear flesh, who rode a donkey into Jerusalem when legions of angels were available, who washed feet the night before he was crucified. That Jesus. Men like you entrusted with his name driving to a private estate in Palm Beach to lay hands on a bronze effigy covered in gold leaf and call it holy.
There is wanting to honour a man. And then there is wanting glamorous, flamboyant, monument-sized veneration. The first is human. The second is a spiritual diagnosis. And the fact that shepherds of the Church cannot tell the difference is not just embarrassing, it is a serious betrayal.
