From the mid 80s Fundamentalist and Evangelical Christians claimed that the Millennium would see the return of Jesus and the Last Judgement.
This resonated with Generation X who claimed that God smacks His children.
And it was used by right-wing Republican President Ronald Reagan in his campaign against the Left.
Reagan then recruited the Polish, anti-Communist Pope John Paul II to demonize his political opponents.
This resulted in blaming and shaming of the Left which caused pressure which was relieved by reconstruction.*
But Generation X still believe that it was an act of God to damn the left-leaning Baby-Boomers forever.
There was no appearance from Jesus, however, no fire, no hell.
Only condemnation from a violent generation.
So there was no Last Judgement in reality.
It only exists in the minds of those who retain it.
Ronald Reagan was not an agent of God's vengeance.
God does not smack His children.
God loves us all.
And His Mercy and Forgiveness are for everyone.
(*This is a well known brainwashing technique.)
