And the government shall be upon his shoulder

Yesterday I went to a shopping mall for the first time in more than two and a half years. The disassociation created by that long absence made the place seem surreal, a sort of zombie-like carnival of pointlessly elaborate consumerism.

Meanwhile this is going on:

A speaker at a pro-Trump rally in Pennsylvania said on Friday that the “angel of death” was coming for various politicians, including Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham and high-profile Democrats.

“The angel of death is coming to visit these people. These people are going down. These people who control the world think that they are pharaohs, the present-day pharaohs. Soon you shall never see again,” the speaker, who was identified as Bo Polny by HuffPost reporter Christopher Mathias on Twitter, said.

He simultaneously showed an image of high-profile politicians, judges, and journalists, including President Joe Biden, former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, and CNN journalist Brian Stelter.

The image said, “the Angel of Death is coming for them by year-end,” and “treason will be written on them for ALL ETERNITY.”

Those pictured were primarily Democrats or left-wing, with the exception of Graham, the senior senator for South Carolina, who was once a vocal critic of Trump but became an ally during his time as president. 

“Left wing.”

The speaker then told the crowd that Donald Trump will be returning to office in 2022 and that it would be “God’s will.”

The two-day “ReAwaken America” rally also featured speeches by Eric Trump, Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell.

Mathias, who attended the event, said on Twitter that the conference was Christian nationalist and “QAnon-friendly.”

Several of the speakers promoted fringe conspiracy theories and views, including far-right doctor Stella Immanuel, who encouraged rally-goers to pray that “demonic satellites” and voting machines get destroyed.

Julie Green, a self-described “prophet,” also prophesied Trump’s imminent return to office, who she described as God’s son, according to PennLive.com.

Interestingly, Sinclair Lewis never actually said “When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.” (It’s not a coincidence that Lewis’s then-wife Dorothy Thompson was the first American journalist to raise serious alarm about Nazi Germany).

He did, however, write a novel entitled, with intentional irony, “It Can’t Happen Here.”
