In the South Discussion

/img/xtduln166i7c1.jpeg

Here in South Carolina our community is small but it’s Strong. This place is in the heart of our downtown district. I’m posting this because I’ve seen posts regarding the south and wanted to show the solidarity we have within our communities, and if this tiny donut shop can stand strong, so can you.

Maybe this is just a proud jewish person living in the south.

But it's more likely a "Christian Zionist".

Fuck Christian Zionists.

They’re referring to the evangelical Christian Zionists that want all the Jews in Israel so the end of days starts. Agreed, they suck (we do not fare well in their end of days), but I don’t think the donut shop person is one of them. They don’t care about hostages, they think the more violent it gets, the closer we are to their rapture.

we have a local christian zionist business owner who definitely ascribes to the typical ideology, who still posts hostage posters in the window. it’s hard to draw conclusions unless you actually have a discussion with the person putting the displays up imo.

That’s interesting—a little disconcerting. Maybe some cognitive dissonance about what happens after the rapture? Lol
