The fact that some extremist conservatives advocate for their favorite brand of thought-policing rouses my objections, of course; but rounding them up and incarcerating them, much less taking up arms, when a nonviolent approach is still working, is extremism at the other end of the spectrum, and I can't go along with it.
In that preference, we obviously disagree. I'll leave it at that.
Fair enough. All I am asking is for the secular and progressive communities to seriously consider organizing in defense of ourselves for a possible pogrom against us. The extremism of Dominionist Conservative ideology is an existential threat against us. They hate us and they want to kill us. Never think that they will never gain power. They want America to be a fascist Christian state and they want power and control and they want it BAD! Why the hell does anyone think they have been working so hard to turn the progress that has been made backwards to their imagined paradise of a so-called "Christian Nation?!" Why does anyone think that all their efforts have been towards tearing down the wall of separation between government and religion. The moment that America does become an official Christian Nation then it is game over. This is serious shit folks, and we better had take it more seriously than we have before.
