“Welcome to the end of democracy!” Posobiec declared. “We’re here to overthrow it completely. We didn’t get all the way there on January 6th, but we will endeavor to get rid of it and replace it with this right here,” he said, holding his fist in the air. “That’s right, because all glory is not to government, all glory to God.”

Steve Bannon, former White House adviser, is heard in the background exclaiming, “All right! Amen!”

All Republicans are perfectly happy with the idea of having a (Christo-)fascist dictatorship in power in the U.S. . All that they care about is that the dictatorship rewards them with money and power. I know Republicans like this, people you might think were just ordinary folks, and they’re masters of telling themselves stories to justify their violence and thievery and masters at not seeing anything that might cause cognitive dissonance, to the extent that they’re capable of that at all.

    Religion makes people dumb and easily manipulated. Fascism just takes advantage of that.

      I am not a fan of religion. But I would address poor education and low living standards first.

        If you can’t defend your position without resorting to insults, then your position isn’t worth defending.

            Well, it’s a demonstrable fact that there is a high correlation of heavily religious districts in the US and districts with low education. Whether one causes the other, or they both have a common cause, is up for debate.

                    Indeed, all your comments here above are stupid takes, as shown by the downvotes. Thanks for agreeing with us.

                    Now tell me, do you think your god is all-loving before or after he committed genocide multiple times (including on animals and babies)?

                We call kids stupid for believing in Santa, so what is the difference between that and believing in a sky daddy?
