  • I always knew it was possible for right-wing populism and proto-fascism to take hold in America. A society that seems itself immune and superior is especially susceptible.

    But I honestly didn’t think it would be a complete idiot like Trump. A wannabe dictator is supposed to be charismatic. His ramblings couldn’t invigorate a chicken coop. And yet it seems people are so desperate for his ilk that not even that’s an issue.

    Note that the strategy of courting conservatives didn’t move the needle even an inch. She got the exact same percentage of votes from registered republicans as Biden did, and it cost her millions of votes. And yet Democrats are already busy setting up the narrative how this is the fault of unelectable left-wing politics (lmao) and they need to move even further right. It’s sickening.

    Right. So millions of people have committed their lives to studying history, which contains overwhelming proof that your branch and interpretation of Christianity is the absolute truth. But most of them are too weak to acknowledge this, so they choose to deny the obvious truth all their lives, and will be judged accordingly.

    I have a lot of patience for religious people and perspectives as long as they’re not openly hateful, but you’re really testing me here. You may be careful with your words, but your worldview and message are entirely self-centered, judgmental, and plainly offensive.

    But if it’s rooted in historical fact, rather than cultural hegemony and parents passing on their belief systems to their children, then studying history would naturally lead people to become overwhelmingly Christian. Reality does not reflect that.
