Held together by a glue of BS
The Bullshit State: From Mahdist Sudan to MAGA America

“It's all bullshit, folks. And it's bad for ya.” — George Carlin
George Carlin didn’t live to see the Epstein client list. Had he, he might have offered a revision to his famous screed on the bullshit glue that holds American society together. It's not just corporate sloganeering, religio-patriotic myth, and daytime TV—no. In 2025, the bullshit has metastasized into theology. It has a flag. It wears a red cap. And it hides its pedophiles in plain sight.
America is building a Christian State.
Not a theocracy in robes and incense, nor a revivalist camp meeting, but a modern messianic state—slick, militarized, media-savvy, and modeled on precedents older and stranger than we care to admit. The Trump administration, and the movement that both predated and outlives it, is the vehicle of this transformation. It operates through QAnon catechisms, FOX News liturgy, and a digitally mediated Great Awakening theology. But this phenomenon is not uniquely American. It has precedent. Historical precedent. Successful precedent.
Let us look to the Nile.
Mahdist Sudan: The Blueprint of a Messianic State
The most successful messianic state of the modern era was not founded in Jerusalem, nor Salt Lake City, but in Omdurman. In 1881, a Sudanese Sufi ascetic named Muhammad Ahmad declared himself the Mahdi—the guided one foretold in Islamic eschatology—and summoned his people not only to faith, but to statehood.
This was not a rebellion. It was a replacement. The Mahdist State overthrew Turco-Egyptian colonial rule, defeated Anglo-Egyptian forces at Shaykan, and took Khartoum itself—an act that sent Victorian Britain into an apoplectic crisis. General Charles Gordon’s death, enshrined in lurid British illustrations and colonial mythos, was no accident of imperial miscalculation; it was the act of a counter-civilization, one whose claim to authority rested on divine right, eschatological inevitability, and total social mobilization.
The Mahdiyya was not durable—it fractured after a generation—but its intensity, cohesion, and mass loyalty made it arguably the most successful messianic insurgency since the Taiping Rebellion. More importantly, it demonstrated that a charismatic claim to divine mandate could create a parallel reality—not merely a resistance movement, but a new axis of time and meaning.
Fast-forward to 21st century America, and ask yourself: What is MAGA, if not a Mahdism for a digital age?
The Christ-State Emerging: Trump's Messianic Cultus
In the United States, the architecture of messianic rule is emerging beneath the spectacle of democracy. The Trump presidency reconfigured political loyalty as spiritual allegiance. His rallies were not political events but pilgrimages. His mugshot became a relic. His enemies are cast as satanic pedophiles, and his trials are crucifixions in slow motion. He is not merely a candidate. He is the Chosen.
The state is adapting. It is learning. From Nixon’s Southern Strategy to Reagan’s Evangelical Revolution, America has long flirted with theocracy. But what we see now is different: a totalizing moral cosmology, a wholesale redrawing of reality in which truth, legality, and citizenship hinge on belief. A state where loyalty to the leader is a substitute for ideology. A state where injustice is not just tolerated—it is celebrated as a test of righteousness.
And the test has already come.
Epstein and the Bullshit Loyalty Test
Which brings us to the final crucible—the Epstein cover-up.
Ask yourself: what was it, really? Beyond the human trafficking, beyond the kompromat, beyond the intelligence angles? It was a test.
A test of whether a people so saturated in moral signaling, child protection rhetoric, and carceral posturing would tolerate a crime so vast, so visible, and so untreated, that it could only be divine theater.
And they passed.
The tribe passed. The media gatekeepers. The party operatives. The influencers. The bureaucrats. The pastors. The prosecutors. All passed.
The Epstein affair functioned not merely as a scandal but as a loyalty crucible—a new form of sacrament for the emergent Christ-State. If you can endure that level of bullshit—and not just endure it, but rationalize it, defend it, deny it—then you are ready. You are prepared to be a priest of the new regime. You are worthy to serve under the flag of redemptive disinformation.
This is no longer a government. It is a gospel. And if you’re still waiting for disclosure, accountability, or truth, let me offer you the final commandment of the coming order:
Blessed are the bullshittable, for they shall inherit the lie.
