    To add to the other sentiments ITT:
    The ultra-orthodox religious GOP wing, aka Nationalist Christians (short: Nat-C) actually believes that the second coming of Christ / Armageddon / Rapture will start in or around Israel. They hope for the end of the world, by nuclear fire.

      Yes, of the evangelical contingents, they can roughly be split into three groups: (1) those who support Israel because of their view of the end times and like Jews but want them to become Christian, (2) those who really don’t like jews but support Israel because of their view that the end times require a massive war in the middle east, and (3) those who wish they were Jews and pretend to be Jews while actually being proselytic cosplaying Christians that like to eat latkes.

      To be fair nuclear war would probably spell the end of capitalism so there’s that silver lining. With enough nukes you can burn away the racism and superstitions of the old world, erase the borders confining us, and liberate mankind from oppressive hierarchies. Not very environmentally friendly though. Maybe there is a better way?
