Is this proof of God?

It's a serious question. American society is gripped by a
madness, a epidemic -- PANDEMIC -- or mental illness, and
EVERYONE agree this is true!

If you're TDS, you are 100% certain that the MAGA crowd
is in the throws of a mental illness, completely delusional.
And if you're MAGA, you take one look at the TDS crowd &
shake your head... "Where's Doctor Kevorkian when you need
him?" You ask.

So EVERYONE agrees there's this massive outbreak of delusional
thinking. It's just that we all DISAGREE on which side is the
delusional one.

But, make no mistake; a reasonable, rational view of the
situation can only conclude that, yes, we are witnessing a
massive outbreak of delusional thinking....

THEY CAN'T BOTH BE RIGHT!

One side has to be totally bonkers, living in a fantasy world,
"Seeing" things that aren't there. Because, THEY CAN'T BOTH
BE RIGHT!

Which brings me to the bible...

From Wiki A.I. which, btw, suks but it's a starting point:

The primary Bible verse regarding a "strong delusion" is 2
Thessalonians 2:11, which states: "And for this cause God
shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe
a lie" (KJV). This passage, found in 2 Thessalonians 2:9rCo12,
describes a, divine judgment on those who reject the truth.

Are we all witnessing a "Divine Judgement?"

SOMEBODY is delusions, no question here. Either the entirety
of LeftTardia or the MAGA crowd: One side is bonkers, living
in a fantasy world.

So mass DELUSIONAL THINKING -- this part is unquestionable,
we can all see it -- but WHO are the delusional ones, and
WHAT is causing this?

Btw, it's not just America -- God's country. Look at Europe!
But as I do live in God's country I am, for the moment,
limiting myself to here...

So, this is it, right? This is your proof of the bible, of
God. We are witnessing "The Strong Delusion" inflicted on
the dregs of humanity by God.

As an outside observer, from a country far
culturally from the US and the West in general, I
am tempted to say perhaps both are. All sides of
US politics seem insane to me. If so, then maybe
the issue is not that anyone is insane, but that
the meta-game itself went insane. The environment
everyone lives in is going insane, the collective,
the whole. It seems to me that this is, more of a
"Tower of Babel" situation, where people slowly,
gradually, are losing the ability to understand
each other, to talk, to reach and communicate and
comprehend. Language itself as a human tool is
breaking down, and so everything everyone says
everywhere sounds insane.

Things said by a leftest, when reaching a
left-supporter, are viewed and understood from a
perspective that is completely alien to someone
from the right, and vice-versa. This is not going
to remain a left-right thing. The western world
is splitting even further; within the left some
leftists think other leftest people are insane,
and within the right some right people think other
right people are insane. The two-poles phenomena
is just a side-effect of US elections being set up
to encourage two-party standoffs. But this wall
will likely not hold long; we are already seeing
it breaking down.

I suspect these phenomena are driven by the
sudden introduction of hyper-connectivity to human
societies. Countries that are more connected are
the ones experiencing more such phenomena. Other
countries are probably going to have to face the
same issues as they catch up more on connectivity,
and build more cross-ties into the global "neural
system" of the planet.

Whatever is happening, taken to the extreme,
will end up with islands of ones, all over; every
single person will think that everyone else are
all insane. Modern "AI" LLMs are probably going
to push us further towards that extreme, as people
get more and more reinforcement for each one of
their fringe ideas in an echo-chamber of one.

But what do I know. This world is too mysterious.

Things are far from limited to the United States but
I chose to limit myself to what I can see out my
window.

left-supporter, are viewed and understood from a
perspective that is completely alien to someone
from the right, and vice-versa.

I have to say that people are genuinely delusional and
for me it went critical with AGW -- "Global Warming."
Suddenly it became a sin to question. People weren't
just permitted to treat dissenters with disdain but
duty bound to hold them in contempt.

"YOU QUESTIONED THE TRUTH! YOU NEED TO BE DISRESPECTED
AND MISTREATED!"

This is not going
to remain a left-right thing. The western world
is splitting even further; within the left some
leftists think other leftest people are insane,
and within the right some right people think other

One characteristic common to the extremes is the
intolerance of any dissension. You're either in 100%
agreement or you're the enemy. You have to violently
oppose absolutely everything Trump says and does or
you're a red hat wearing MAGA soldier, according to the
leftists...

Social media was created to manipulate you. All the "Apps"
on your phone, as well as the phone itself, are spying on
you, ostensibly to better smack you with targeted
messaging. That is the claim: They want to sculpt the
message they send you, precision target you with ads and
such.

Think of how effective advertisement was in the media
like 60 years ago. Now look at today with the over
saturation of spyware collecting your data, precision
targeting you...

Imagine what it's going to be like in another 20 years,
or even 10 years. Imagine how easily they can already
sculpt your reality, and how much better they are going
to get at it...
