The Rapture and the President's Fascism

Years ago, I read a book that explained that during the end of days, a lot of Christians will be unconvinced that the end has come. WHY? Because, the whole Rapture theology is SO WRONG. No one - absolutely NO ONE will be raptured to heaven when the end comes. So, what will happen is that millions of Christians will deny the Armageddon is upon us, thinking, that UNLIKE the movies "Left Behind", "I am a christian", "I was not raptured into heaven", therefore, this is not Armageddon. Almost the exact same demographic -- please note, I am not calling anyone any names -- are the people who do not see the nascent Fascism in front of their eyes. For example, Jason Chaffez (of lock her up -- aka, HRC), says that it is doubtful he will be investigating President Trump (of course not, because he's a saint, right? -- Plus, he's a Republican. You don't go after Republicans). Far be it for the chairman of the "Executive Overreach Committee" to investigate the President for, you know, Executive Overreach. In addition, a lot of "these" people, and all those who called President Obama a bad president (among the nicest of terms used), also compare him to a Fascist and called him bad names. So, a large percentage of the population (what 35-40%?) don't see the Fascism creeping in. Trump a fascist? No, that was Obama man, "ramming down our throats, gays, blacks and muslims." They don't see that having three branches of government completely controlled by Republicans is a recipe for disaster. They think that that is "good thing". They think that an independent judiciary is actually a bad thing. The founders who designed our constitution and our form of Government although very smart were not infallible. They took what they saw around them and designed a new system of government to the best of their abilities. However, they were not able to foresee that technological advances would allow for things like instantaneous communication. How were they to know that the tools for speaking and sharing thought will go far beyond books and newspapers. These same tools can now be used to suppress thought (dissent) and to control (the population). Just like Hitler proposed in his "Mein Kampf", the current President of the US is promoting his own truth. Those who don't support his truth are enemies (for now, "fake news"). Later on to be put into camps maybe? So, "the people" who I talked about earlier, the ones who will be fooled when they don't see something they expect, will be fooled this time, because their "leader", the man who believes as they do, and will bring about the conservative changes they've been asking for, CAN NOT LIE. Therefore, what comes from him and his administration is TRUE, RIGHT and to be BELIEVED verbatim. We/you will never be able to convince them that the man is a LIAR and the things he advocates, promotes and executes into actions are terrible policies, borderline Fascist (for now) and not conducive to the well governing of a Democracy. This, as the show B5 shared, will be "The Long, Twilight Struggle". If we survive, in 4 years we will be able to kick the Fascists out. But, it is also very likely that we will not be able to survive, if Mr. Bannon's fascination with the Apocalypse (the end of days) is any indication.
