Don't Fight Farces, Use Them

The Mormon Church issued a statement this week cautioning members that this weekend’s rare lunar eclipse and supermoon double-occurrence does not mean the apocalypse is nigh. The Associated Press reports that Sunday night’s “blood moon,” along with recent natural disasters and political unrest “have led to a rise in sales at emergency-preparedness retailers.” Combined with a prominent Mormon author’s apocalyptic statements, a small number of Mormons have begun fearing the end times. In its statement, the Mormon Church urged followers to “avoid being caught up in extreme efforts to anticipate catastrophic events.”


The solution is obvious, Sparky. We liberals need to reach out to these idiots.

You seem to think there's something wrong with them telling people who might believe otherwise that those banal astronomical events are harmless.

If Mormons could be convinced to vote for Bernie Sanders and he won the presidency with their support I can think of no liberal reason to not welcome that support. If he or any liberal Democrat could win without the ballot box poison of conceited snobs who love to insult other people so they can feel superior to them, I don't see any lose in that equation.

P.S. Let me add that I'd certainly trade the entire "Eschaton Brain Trust" for a hundredth of a percent of the vote in any congressional or just about any legislative district race any day.   I'd certainly trade the Simple thinking behind such a comment in exchange for something more likely to produce a better campaign strategy.

Update:  If he sat on a tack he wouldn't get the point.
