Fascists Sans Testicles

And it is disheartening to think there are that many knuckle-dragging asswipes in the country.

Give or take 30 percent in my country. Now the rightwing asswipes start to appeal to a christian Europe, based on christian principles, which opens yet another can of wirms that had been closed for at least the last 40 years. No politician did that in my living memory.

Encouraging though, our churches don't play ball. They denounce the attempt for what it is. Another cheap shot at populism, calling the rightwingers out for that. Something the secular parties haven't got the balls to do. To say I hate to admit it, would be wrong. But the churches are currently the biggest allies when going against racism, bigotry and populism. Always were in my country, to tell the truth. They were always on the forefront when it was about fighting xenophobia and inhumane fear hate mongering. In 1993 we had a march of 250.000 against a xenophobic plebiscit the rightwingers wanted to bring through parliament. The churches were with us all the way.

The rightwing appeal to christian values is of course a sham, as every other thing they say or do. It's only to fish in yet another pond to transport the anti Islamic fear mongering. It's always combined with the big bad Islamic takeover and a healthy dose of general Xenophobia.
