The Evangelicals are doing some weird LARP sessions in their churches. Pro-government talking heads on the US MSM make weird statements that are religious and apocalyptic in essence. The US troops deployed in the Middle East for the newest Sand War were told they are fighting some "end times war". And now Donald Trump speaks similar nonsense, including his one speech in which he said that he wants to redeem himself and go to Heaven, in essence.
Whoever controls this circus is having a good laugh while the rest of the planet grows more concerned with every day. I did not see all this nonsense coming. I expected the standard corruption, double-speak, the usual lies of the politicians like they did during the "We must stop Iraq because they have WMD!" event and etc. But I did not expect the US political class - or at least the "Right" - to lose their marbles like this.
I am very tired of living in the Interesting Times. The ride never ends.

About pointless political gestures
Back in May, a bunch of European politicians - and representatives from Ukraine - gathered in Chișinău, Moldova. They mostly gathered to make useless noise about le ebil Putler and his ebil crimes against poor heckin' Ukrainos and stuff.
Long story short - they agreed with each other that they really, really hate Putin. And they really, really want to arrest him. However, the International Criminal Court has a jurisdictional gap - it simply can't prosecute a country's leaders for the "crimes of aggressions" unless that country is a state-party to the ICC's Rome Statute. Russia isn't a member of this agreement, and Russia wields a veto at the UN Security Council. So Putin simply doesn't care what politicians from 36 European countries think about him.
And yet they've still gathered in Chișinău, made a lot of noise, made a lot of empty promises to Ukrainians, etc etc. If only they cared about the real problems within the EU as much.
