Bernie Surrogates On Dumping the Democratic Party

21. It Is The Left Wing Version of Praying for the End of Times and the Rapture

We make ridicule right wing evangelicals who almost seem giddy at the idea of chaos and supporting Israel unconditionally under the idea that it will bring about the return of christ or alternatively the rapture. Yet, there is this similar idea among certain members of the "left" who oppose incremental improvements in people's lives thinking that this only delays the revolution that will be needed to sow the seeds of post-capitalist utopia. In either case, left or right, you have folks almost cheerleading the increase in suffering thinking that this sets the stage for either the rapture or a socialist utopia.

This is why evangelicals love Trump's Israel policy
Hint: It has to do with burning lakes of fire

Why are these evangelicals so interested in the fate of Israel?

Elizabeth Oldmixon
These are the folks who believe that there will be a millennium in the future, a golden age, where Christ reigns on Earth, [and] they believe that before Christ will return, there will be a tribulation where Christ defeats evil. There will be natural disasters and wars, and perhaps an Antichrist, as the book of Revelations notes. Then at the end of that period, the people of the Mosaic covenant, including the Jews, will convert. Then after their conversion, the great millennium starts.
