The attendees formed the “Rockbridge Network,” a GOP strategy network helmed by conservative venture capitalist Chris Buskirk, whose aim is to build a MAGA movement that outlasts Donald Trump by letting business leaders shape American policy.

    and they might not get into heaven if they don’t

    That’s it. That’s the entire reasoning. This is why MAGA had that mass-psychosis about the “Rapture” late last September. This is the stated reason our Republican Senators and house Reps echo when supporting Israel. Because the Bible says those who support Israel will be raptured… except the Bible doesn’t actually say that. MAGA just wants to be free of this world.

    Even with their politicians in office, MAGA hates this time as much as the most devout leftist. We’re all suffering, everywhere, unless you have Big money. Republicans just think that suffering under their Dear Leader is how they ascend into the afterlife, so they can finally be free of their pain. Rather than support actual policy changes, they’ll try to unlock some “secret ending” they heard about in their churches.

    It’s actual insanity. You’d have better luck quoting scripture to getting these people to believe different nonsense, than to get them to touch base with reality. Fuck… I can’t really blame them. The last year has made me lose my mind, and I don’t want it back.
