Lovecraft and the GQP

I was just reading an overview of H P Lovecraft's mythos.

What caught my attention was The Old Ones, evil "gods" that exist outside our "reality" (or in other words, an "alternate reality&quot . The Old Ones have a goal to enter our reality, through gates that can be opened through ritual and sacrifice. When they break through, evil will reign.

Then I went for a drive and turned on my car radio. The RW Hate Radio host was telling his listeners to refuse to wear masks, refuse the vaccine and do no let their children get vaccinated, no matter what. He was quite emphatic on this point. As a frequent FOX contributor, I am sure he is personally vaxxed.

So is that what this is about? Over 800,000 Americans dead, millions more around the world, and big monied interests in our world cheering on the carnage, demanding more and more. Is this all a ritual human sacrifice on a massive scale, intended to open the portals for The Old Ones? Are the cultish rallies on the Right a summoning ritual?

I can picture our oligarchs summoning eldritch demons, eager to sell their souls in their quest for more and more and more. Or are they repaying the demons for a pact already made?

I realize this sounds preposterous, but have you seen the lies that are being pushed by our very richest and swallowed by our damned?

Anyone got a better explanation?

1. I suspect TFG is actually Cthulhu,

and the weird hair and extra-long ties are intended to disguise the tentacles.

2. Tekeli Li Tekeli Li!

3. HP Lovecraft was also a vile racist

To the point where his early 20th century peers even noted, in a society where casual racism was endemic.

Another tie with today's republicans

4. Here's what Lovecraft had to say about Republicans

“As for the Republicans -- how can one regard seriously a frightened, greedy, nostalgic huddle of tradesmen and lucky idlers who shut their eyes to history and science, steel their emotions against decent human sympathy, cling to sordid and provincial ideals exalting sheer acquisitiveness and condoning artificial hardship for the non-materially-shrewd, dwell smugly and sentimentally in a distorted dream-cosmos of outmoded phrases and principles and attitudes based on the bygone agricultural-handicraft world, and revel in (consciously or unconsciously) mendacious assumptions (such as the notion that real liberty is synonymous with the single detail of unrestricted economic license or that a rational planning of resource-distribution would contravene some vague and mystical 'American heritage'...) utterly contrary to fact and without the slightest foundation in human experience? Intellectually, the Republican idea deserves the tolerance and respect one gives to the dead.”

5. I agree with lovecraft regarding republicans.

And I like his mythos.

6. CPAC stage shaped like a rune. Pompous hairstyles evoking headgear of ancient priests.

Mindless, gibberish chanting by mad minions.

Billionaires competing to get to the moon, where a portal could be opened to release the color out of space.

I bet if I started a PAC and called it Souls For Cthulu donations would pour in.
