So tucker has 4 million live viewers of his show. His uploads on the Fox News youtube page get a million plus views each. Some even get to 4-5 million views. And I'm very skeptical of your own youtube views Rick.

The videos with most views have Trump on the thumbnail, while the others can't break into a million views, reminds me of Jeb Bush's youtube channel but less pathetic.

I know this is old, but I just stumbled upon this cringe fest today and looked him up in the Farms search tab.

Ohh...God is this man painfully unfunny. I think the best part is that you can just see the pure anger exuding out of him when discussing Trump. It really ruins the whole parody aspect when he seems super offended throughout the entirety of the video. Here are a few samples of Randy Rainbow’s songs my Kiwis:

He seems overly mad throughout this. The Nancy bit is cringe as why would anyone want to be like her. He is likely also voting for Biden who takes his mask off every time he speaks, cannot see how he can be so harsh on Trump.

Love how he gives every reason to not vote Dem, yet tells us to settle.

He looks like Slappy the Dummy, except somehow even more unsettling.

 

[ditto]

Nothing more pretentious than single word titles.

Makes me wish Abraham Lincoln was owned by Disney so his likeness couldn't be exploited by any partisan hack with a keyboard.

To most Christians, these are literally who and literally what. I thought Kenneth Copeland was a country singer and Jim Bakker dug up dinosaurs. I've never heard a preacher from any denomination mention Pokemon. I'm sure a few have in the last 25 years, it just doesn't seem like a common topic.

Atheists perfected nutpicking before the wider political social media started using it.

He seems familiar...

Wasn't he running for president?

Of course, it's going to take a while for Christianity to fully reclaim its positive public image again once the memory of the old religious right dies out and also again I am in no way bashing Christians and I am simply here to provide information why Christianity got its bad public image in the first place.

You're not too far off, the Boomerization of Christianity is part of what's wrecked it. By that I mean the churches becoming little more than social clubs with vaguely Christian self-help "preaching." The Boomers didn't want to hear any hard messages or anything that might suggest they're wrong, even if they had to tear out any semblance of tradition to do it. The other half of that is the seminaries being infiltrated by progressives. The Methodist church, for example, has one theologically conservative seminary left and most graduates go to either Wesleyan churches or non-denominational churches, because Methodist leadership is mostly Progressive, even if the laity isn't.

The progressive types were perfectly happy to gut the churches internally and throw bones to the Boomers, since the Boomers only cared about feeling good and dragging their kids with them in an attempt to have someone else teach their kids morals. Of course, the conservative laity fleeing to relatively conservative megachurches doesn't help, since most of those churches are lone wolf cults-of-personality types with no broader tradition and rarely any real theological depth.

Also their music sucks. There's some legitimately good stuff in the traditional hymnals and all that happens with it these days is some dumb ass "worship leader" will butcher it with offensively banal additions. I don't know, my thoughts are a bit scattered, but I think it really comes down to most American Christians not taking Christianity as a whole seriously, so why would anyone on the out side do it?

God damn it. Is there even anything worth saving anymore?

Sure, but it's all around the edges and in the margins. It's not the first time the West and Christendom have faced as existential crisis. Hell, look at western history as a whole and it's just about always swinging from what must have, at the time, looked like one civilization ending crisis to another.

I'll go back to Methodism. We're a "mainstream" denomination and one that should be ripe for going completely woke. Yet at the last General Conference, it was the progressive side that lost, even if it took the Asian and African branches to make up the difference. There's a split coming, but the important part is keeping the progressive side from getting control of the physical assets. It's not much, but it's a move in the right direction.

There's hope, just remember that we're at the "Weak men make bad times" part of the cycle, it'll swing around.

Not at this time. Wealth breeds hedonism and frivolity, and people either discard religion or twist it to justify their desires. Religion is, for the poor, a tool for dealing with hardship and, for the rich and powerful, a tool for creating a moral framework that cements their rule. Collapse and hard times will lead to the revival of more practical religious practice, but until those hard times come, most Christians who try to follow the Bible faithfully will be lone voices in the wilderness, if not outright persecuted.

I have to hand it to the Regressive Left: I never thought I'd miss the Fundies.

I'll be perfectly honest.

I was raised Methodist, but I think there's raising a stink about actual theological issue vs dealing with homosexuality. Like, if the church doesn't want to do gay marriages, fine, but I don't think they should turn away gay parishioners.

The thing is, the General Conference had nothing to do with gay parishioners, it was just over gay marriage and allowing gays into leadership roles in the church. The traditionalist side, in general, has no problem with gay parishioners. I'm sure there's some out there that do, but come on, we're Methodists. We've never been particularly exclusionary about who can come and worship.

I suppose that is different, and I'm not sure if I know how I feel. On one hand, it could be argued that the liberation of homosexuality in catholic seminary lead to the influx of sexual assault and molestation with the catholic priesthood and I don't want to see something similar happen with the Methodist church.

I think that's some of the concern, I also think that watching the Episcopal/Anglican church has probably influenced it some too. The Asian and African churches may have different concerns or standards, but I have a feeling it's more that they don't want our progressive leadership telling them how to run their churches.

So a democrat can cancel the other party's convention?

The Texas GOP should tell him to fuck off.
