Like many Americans, Carolina Giuliani was paralyzed over the prospect that Donald Trump — the man she blames for ruining her father and damaging her family — could be close to returning to the White House.

“It’s a hard phenomenon to understand. It definitely is,” Carolina Giuliani said. “I view Trump as a disease, and I think it’s really important to remember that with every disease, prevention is a much more effective strategy than treatment. … I thought we had cured ourselves of it the first time, but it doesn’t seem like we have.

“And I think if he becomes the president again, we may have a terminal illness in our country. And that really, really scares me.”

    That’s fair. It’s hard to know what a snake actually thinks. He’s been sliming for their cause since Nixon*, though, so this may be a distinction without a difference.

      Exactly! Nixon wasn’t driving towards some Dominionist shit that I’m aware of. He was a crooked politician that worked for the nascent oligarchy. He deliberately fucked up peace in Vietnam to win an election. The shit that got him run out was small potatoes.

      Stone just wants to get paid and win.

        No, I mean the opposite.

        Stone may not have been stanning for dominionism under Nixon (it was only a twinkle in their eye at that point), but Stone walks, talks, and quacks like a dominionist.

        Is he an opportunist or a believer? I can’t claim to know, but he says dominionist things, does dominionist things, and surrounds himself almost exclusively by dominionists, so he’s a de facto dominionist.

        e: I really should learn to spell, and also use words

          I agree he’s looking duckish these days but I still think he believes in nothing but money, fame, and power. And here we are talking about him. 🦆☝️

            Sorry to keep clarifying, but I want to make sure people understand the depth of this threat.

            The only reason you could credibly claim Stone isn’t a dominionist is because it didn’t quite exist when he was criming for Nixon.

            He was intimately involved with the founders of dominionism, and worked very closely with all those same people during its rise over the past few decades, and now works so closely with its adherents, they could all be a Cronenberg monster.

            e: nevermind, I get your point. He’s a mercenary, and I agree, but his position as a mercenary specifically for dominionists makes him especially dangerous, IMO.
