We as Americans just voted into national office a glut of far right representatives who believe we are chosen by God, are the exceptional nation and are threatened by "THEM".
Israel just voted in a leader who finally admitted that there is no solution outside of his country's right to do as it pleases because they were chosen by God to do so, and threats from "THEM" be damned. There are a growing number of extreme radicalized groups in the Middle East that believe God has chosen them to reshape the world in the name of Islam because the rest of the world is "THEM".
Two of these groups incidentally (The American extreme right and the Islamic extreme right) think that we are approaching an "end times" (which both think is a good thing).
What could possibly go wrong?
