2–12–21 their time
Dear Wormwood,
In your last letter you voice concern that the patient is beginning to listen to the fool Charles Bo, a Cardinal of his Church who said His Church is not to be “identified in any way with the political community.”
I understand that the patient has been thinking about it, and you are worried he is spending too much time on it. Do not fret, Wormwood. He is easily distracted by the noise and the crowd and you must make use of this.
I suggest you strike when the neighbor is pounding car sounds from the garage and the patient fills with anger. In that moment remind him of the vitriol and hatred toward the little Master Trump, so his gaze turns toward him. Remind him of the hypocrisy of the left with their socialist and gay friendly agenda. Remind him of the antifa riots and looting that burned through cities last summer. And most importantly, remind him how he hates the killing of the unborn. Just as he is filled with rage, bring his thoughts back to the words of the foolish Cardinal so with fists he yells NO! I will not let go of the GOP, they are the party of God. The Dems and the Left are the true enemy!
See how yelling the fear out makes him feel good. Without knowing it he craves having his thirst for revenge quenched. It feeds his quest to listen to right wing friends while tuning out left wing enemies. The media is good for him. The lies spewed there make our father squirm with satisfaction. They will work him into a frenzy.
Work on that Wormwood and keep those embers burning. It keeps him blind and loyal.
You will succeed. Trust me.
Do keep me posted.
Your affectionate uncle,
Screwtape
Certainly not the caliber of CS Lewis’ and his book The Screwtape Letters. This is simply my version, my contribution to a world gone Mad.
