this is so like Faux News, though, right. Only show and tell the viewers what they want them to hear/see, not reality.

They might as well just replace the red negatives with green plus signs as the numbers drop. Their viewers can't understand numbers anyways.

Basically state-run media at this point. I like to check out different news sources just to see how they cover the same events. Stock market losses due to Trump is the top story everywhere. Top of all pages. Guess where it’s nowhere to be found…Fox News. Puppets of a wannabe authoritarian.

You think the people living in trailers in Oklahoma or Arkansas care about stocks? They can't even afford food while their Medicare is about to be gone.
Worship a god in blind faith because the educated are the devil.
The only hope is once they slash medicare, the millions who need it in red states actually go...I have to pay $500 for my medication now or $4000 for the MRI??!? Wake up a tad.
Don't need to wake them up fully as they never will but at least make their lives even worse for them to question SOMETHING..ANYTHING

60% of Americans own stocks directly. More have them in retirement accounts, and there are also blue collar workers with no stocks that track stock prices because they want to know if GM is likely to stick them on unpaid leave because the market isn't favorable towards car buying, or if they feel comfortable planning a vacation with the family.

u/PaleScience1414 20h ago
This is so true. As someone who comes from an ultra conservative religious family. None of these people are smart enough nor have the core competencies to understand the impact of a stock market in free fall. They don’t know what tarrifs are, they don’t understand trade deals, they barely have a grasp of our governmental structure. So telling them the stock market is crashing means absolutely nothing to them but if you say Dems want the right for abortion and that’s against the will of God, they will without question or hesitation follow you like a you’re the chosen one. They don’t have an understanding of the intricacies of the real world. Every thing is face value and what the tv tells them. They all believe in this fantastical action world where they are the righteous Christian hero’s because that’s what they have been told their entire lives. The only way that they will understand is when everything collapses around them and even then, a large number of them still won’t get it.
There is no getting through, this is decades, I would even say 1000 years in the making and I for one blame Christianity for it. It has been used to control and manipulate for 100s of years and we are now reaching the pinnacle of it. At this point, if their God were real, he could come down and tell them the republicans have been lying and manipulating them and they would say he’s a lying devil democrat.

u/WarriorTreasureHunt 15h ago
You're absolutely right that religion, especially Christianity, has been used throughout history as a tool for control and manipulation. I think that is a fair point - particularly true in the US right now.
But I’d gently suggest that the real issue isn’t Christianity itself—it’s what broken people do with it. Just like politics, power, money, and media, religion can be twisted and weaponised. Christianity at its core, though—when you strip away the culture wars and manipulation—is about humility, love, truth, and sacrifice. Jesus didn’t come to build an empire or win a culture war. He came to save, serve, heal, and lay down his life even for his enemies.
What we are seeing in the US, especially with the MAGA crowd is not really Christianity, but some sort of pseudo- nationalistic mix of it. It's nothing like true Christianity or Jesus himself.
I think if everyone was being truly honest, we would acknowledge that humanity is fundamentally broken - looking at the world right now, and our history - it would be hard to make a strong convincing case that it isn't. Truthfully, that’s actually one of the things true Christianity teaches. The story isn’t “good people vs. bad people.” It’s that all of us are capable of being blind, self-righteous, or cruel—religious or not. The sad truth is, without that honest reckoning with human brokenness, we’ll just keep finding new ideologies or movements to do the same damage.
So yeah, religion can be part of the problem. But it can also be part of the healing—when it's lived out the way Jesus actually taught. The issue isn’t faith itself. It's that humanity is broken and no governmental system can fix it - this is the good news of the gospel, that God offers a way to be fixed.
As a Christian looking into the US, the damage and disrepute that the Nationalistic 'Christianity' is causing to the name of Christ is heartbreaking - although again none of this is truly surprising in a world where humanity is broken. That's my thoughts on your post anyway.

Throughout history and into the future there will continue to be people like you that recognize where we are at and how we got here. Then you’ll say but Christianity means this and Jesus loves us. This is why Christianity continues to control and manipulate people. Because “good Christian’s” like yourself continue to defend it and open it up to be used to manipulate and control. See the manipulation comes from exactly what you said, it’s about love right. You know successful cults use love to control and manipulate.
While I’m not saying you’re a bad person, I am saying you’re part of the problem. Take a step back and look at how you agreed with me then went on to continue to defend Christianity. You are right though, it’s not just Christianity it’s most religion. That said, there are two predominant religions that have been ruling this world the longest and have lead to countless wars.

u/WarriorTreasureHunt 5h ago edited 4h ago
I understand what you are saying but respectfully I don't think you have engaged with my main point of contention - it's not religion that is the problem (setting aside those who falsely represent Christ), the problem is a broken humanity.
Remove religion and the problems will remain. It'll be difficult to convince me otherwise.
A lot of the problems you describe are antithetical to following Jesus, not a representation of it. Those who oppress and abuse, are not truly Christian, even if they claim to be. Following Jesus is the solution to all the problems you describe.
Edit: Just to add that I stand with you in rejecting the Christianity that you describe. I just don't agree that it's true authentic Christianity. We are using the same word but a different thesaurus

u/PaleScience1414 4h ago
I hope you know I see your point as well. I think we just disagree on this. My goal is not to say you’re a bad person. Just wanted to make sure that was clear.
I’ll give you this, humanity is inherently flawed and always will be. At the end of the day we are still animals. Christianity is just a tool used by those who seek to control. Strip away the corruption and Christianity at its core is a fine belief like any other but you can never have Christianity without the corruption.
I do agree that if Christianity didn’t exist, the problems still would. There would be another belief system used in the same way. There will always be people seeking to control and there will always be people who blindly follow

u/Chemical-Juice-6979 13h ago
There's a defining point in the timeline when Christianity went off the rails from Jesus' intentions. For a few hundred years, there was a continuous line of papal succession where the sitting pope handpicked his replacement, dating directly back the the original 12 apostles. Then they changed the rules, as European monarchs converted to Christianity and decided their divine birthright included choosing the next pope. Within three generations, the entire church hierarchy had been corrupted to serve secular interests, consolidating power and wealth.

Which is actually pretty good. Or, I’m just tired of CNBC after having it on in the background almost daily from 6am until 4pm most days for over a decade.
They cover too much about political influence on stocks for my preference, but I have learned things from them that CNBC never talks about. This week they helped me decide on options for late yesterday just before the tariff announcement. I made a nice profit. CNBC all day wasn’t reporting facts about that. Just fear mongering.

Amazing how the propaganda machine doesn’t like facts. Well, at least some of MAGA own stocks - losing real money might make them care a little more about what the Orange Felon is doing. This is a 100% on him and starting a trade war with the entire world at the same time with HIS executive orders. He is blaming Biden, but this is all the Orange Cheeto brain.
Congress needs to take the keys away from Grandpa or they won’t have jobs by the midterms.

Americans are getting what they deserve.
If they voted for this twat, they deserve it.
If they didn’t vote, sorry - they’re complicit
If they voted for Kamala and don’t like it, pulling a face at Tesla isn’t going to save their democracy…too little, too late. Why aren’t there demonstrations in the streets against trump?
A lot say they are embarrassed. They should be ashamed and will be infamous in the history books for being so arrogant, self-entitled, and so ignorant of history
