I’ve been saying this from the beginning. COVID is a new American religion. Just like LDS, JWs, People’s Temple, or any of the rest of them. Grew up in one of those cults so I recognized the hallmarks from the start. My personal theory is that, when they joined their cult, our parents were promised a grand apocalypse and a sweet reward for their devotion but it never came. Now they are pissed because they devoted their whole life to the cause but they are going to die with no payoff. They are now determined to make the end come with or without God’s help. Doesn’t help that many of Gen X have not been able to shake the programming and have taken the torch to help their abusers bring on the end of days.
