The most entertaining thing about being a mod is getting to read the deleted comments left by the deepest and most functionally retarded among us. THIS one takes the gay cake. Remember that time Trump walked on water? Healed the sick? Well, no, but, looks like Trump can cast out demons, anyway!

I think there are a few issues here. One is that they think the notion held by some that Trump was chosen by God for this moment is us equating Trump to God.
With that concept in mind, I don't necessarily disagree with said poster that one should not worship Trump the man, the figure, the icon, whatever or give praise to golden idols in his name.
They're correct in the response and solution because they're running on a different narrative premise that we are. It's a reasonable response if you think that people are worshipping him as a God.
However, since that isn't the actual premise or world view we're running on, there's bound to be a disconnect in the solution derived from that data.
Another issue is cultural, because outsiders see intentionally hyperbolic humorous statements made in jest and assume them to be purely literal (like the phrase GEOTUS). In the same way you might call your best friend a shitbag as a joke fully understanding the social and cultural construct, and an outsider who knows neither of you, your relationship, or in-jokes and might look in and see one guy bullying and insulting another, and react accordingly.
Their grammar and spelling is atrocious and yes they're fundamentally misunderstanding the premise and drawing incorrect results, but I don't necessarily think that said poster is a bad person.
The cultural divide really incentivizes us getting these cheap "wins", one side laughing at another and saying "haha, look at this fucking idiot!", but unlike other psychos on the internet, based purely on this one post (I have not seen the user's post history) I sincerely believe that this person could have been won over to our side, just because there was an attempt to engage on a Biblical level of values in that the poster didn't like seeing a man treated as a false God.
I'm no stranger to the endorphin buzz you get when you "own" someone, hell, happens far too often for myself. You can look at my post history, I'll cop to that for sure. I can be a right self-righteous prick, so I'm not trying to be hypocritical, just reflective.
I dunno. I just think not all who misunderstand do it out of malice, and the internet owning culture does sometimes make it a little too easy to see people as faceless enemy combatants instead of sheep who have lost their way from the Shepherd.
I don't like the term GEOTUS as much as mods don't like DEWs, maybe more
I agree 100%
In the last month I have seen
Trump - as Jesus at the last supper - meme Trump - as Jesus on the Cross - video Trump - God Gave Us Trump - video Trump - GEOTUS and God like memes
YES - There is a type of ‘worship’ and idoltry surrounding Trump. It’s getting pretty blatant, and dudes comment isn’t that far off.
However; I don’t see Trump personally asking to be worshipped - but Do See him as arrogant and ‘loves’ the attention. That being said, he is running for president, and it is basically a popularity contest with votes attached - that the entire gig. So there is that.
But Yes, yes, yes - the idolatry of Trump is a thing!
If you were to ask me, let's just say that if we all were turned into a giant human centipede, I would hope I'm directly behind Trump.
AH SICK! LOL! Oh man, you made me LOL. Good thing not many are in the room at work here...
