The more i think about this the more i get depressed about humanity. I cant wait until its over, one way or another. If not, one day, someone more competent than Trump/MAGA will show up, someone with principles, who will follow up on them, mercilessly, no matter the casualties. Trump et al are fortunately only petty, greedy, incompetent, little cowards, but god have mercy on us all once somone "bigger" shows up. There seems to still be (like back in history) a baseline "mass" of people for whom there would and could be no limit.....frightening, real frightening.
Christianity in my opinion is just window dressing, something to makes bigotry righteous. Core idea would be that things are bad now but thanks to following the fuhrer return to glorious past and rebirth of greatness is possible.
Good point. You don't need to be religious in order to be a bigot, but it certainly greases the skids.
