"It's God's plan" is the phrase people use to comfort themselves when disasters happen, so I guess that tracks regarding Trump’s rule.
Yeah. Everyone assuming this is some sort of praise or support of the current presidency really don't know how that phrase is normally used. Half the time I heard that phrase it was in a "wtf is going on right now"/"this shit sucks" sort of way.
Shitty clickbait title is shitty.
But confirmation bias is real, judging from this comment section populated by the incurious.
In my experience growing up evangelical, it’s as much a plea as it is an assertion.
It’s also gods plan that the Middle East nukes themselves so Jesus will return and the rest of us will go to heaven. Except for Hindus and the Chinese and a ton of other people.
