These traitors got a tiny sip of the fascist cool-aid and went bananas. Fascism immediately took root among the Republicans and Christians.

The police were like “We’re with you sir.” LMAO!!

People are flexing their actual Nazi flags at sporting and political events. Okay. I see. They like to self-identify. Good.

This is just the beginning. We’re not done here. This conversation is only getting started.

These people need to be held accountable.

    We have won one battle, many remain yet to fight. Unless we deal with them in a meaningful way, they will just rebrand and go again, like they’ve done countless times throughout history. We cannot let them rug sweep their behavior. It might seem tempting to reconcile with maga family after they reject the cult, that’s fine, just don’t let them bury it and pretend it never happened.

    I think people look at religion as the ultimate cause, when it’s more like the weapon. I’m disappointed in how easily it was twisted, but it’s not where it all started.

    When you see a picture of 5 candidates touching Trump with their heads down, it’s not because they see him as a messiah. It’s because they’ve been shown that religious crowding can boost their chances. Those people don’t believe in anything.

    The same can even be said about churchgoers. “None of the newest sermon on casting out the befoulers made sense to me, but I’m sure as hell going to shout Yeah when the crowd does. I have no community otherwise, and I’m not about to buck the local trends.”

    Im not trying to minimize their betrayals - I’m not sure if it’s worse that they’re cowardly lemmings or sources of hate. Just be aware of how much money there is in Bible Belt faith economics.

          Well, there are sociopaths who don’t have significant wealth.

          All billionaires must be sociopaths, not all sociopaths are billionaires.

            You make a valid point.

            However, I wonder if a sociopath who isn’t a billionaire or a pedophile or an idiot would actually throw support behind the MAGAT death cult.

            If you’re not a billionaire or a pedophile, would there be any personal benefit for a sociopath to support them?

            Would sociopaths who don’t benefit from the MAGAT death cult but don’t care about others still want a strong democracy and healthy social safety net as a matter of self-interest?

      I would classify anyone who hasn’t beheaded Trump as an idiot. I don’t exclude myself.

      The bot that posted this must not realize the election is over and that they can disappear for another 18 months.

    “His” religion. It’s their religion and he’s willing to pretend he’s with them, but he definitely not a part of their religion.

    You’re like 10 years late to the party. Nothing will ever happen (in your lifetime). They got this wrapped up right.

    Do you think these super-wealthy believe the religion or use it to play people who do?

    I’d keep going. Anyone who supported other members of that Guardians Of Pedophiles party. If someone votes for or supports any of their candidates, or policies. I’d also group in all the people shitting on candidates that aren’t perfect, but don’t support GOP policies. Sometimes in rural counties you don’t get perfect candidates.
