Watch Out Conservatives: Natural Disasters Can Create Opportunities for Dictators

(Thanks to Will Sommer and Right Richter for this reference.)

Summary

Rachel Alexander writing in Townhall warns that the eminent earthquake in the Pacific Northwest could lead to dictatorial rule.

Quote

"If the wrong person becomes president of the U.S., a natural disaster could allow them to seize dictatorial control. Although President Trump is a strong leader who promotes freedom and democracy, the left is doing everything it can to oust him. The left has a recent track record of taking leaders out using sham legal witch hunts. This is the easiest way they may take Trump out."

Understanding

Alexander cites a list of fears in this article -

1. Natural disasters
2. Left-wing conspiracies
3. Thwarting Pres. Trump's power
4. Secular persecution of Christians

Passion,  whether it is righteous or paranoid, can engulf reason and coherence. Wisdom comes with time, patience and a willingness to see past the initial outrage to understand how and why someone cares so deeply about something that seems so strange.
