Christians are very easily duped and therein lies the problem.

Trump has never attended ANY church organically of his own volition.

He was a registered Democrat— easily Googled. He raw dogged a porn star while cheating on his pregnant wife. They don’t give a fig unless Fox News tells them ‘they are upset now’, and feeds them their latest talking point.

You know…I always though how culture war victories in 4X games were a little unreasonable…and then you see this shit.

It’s so frustrating that people are so ridiculously gullible as long as you make them feel good about themselves first. Tell them how intelligent they are for not believing the evil liberal agenda. You want to know what the liberal agenda actually is conservatives? We just want to live our lives however we want, and not have to be harassed, to not have to feel unsafe, to cultivate a world that is healthy, a population that is well-educated and happy, and not have to worry about tomorrow. To leave behind a world that is better than the one we were brought up in. Yeah. We’re evil AF.

Apparently that is so counterproductive to capitalism that they’ve managed to persuade meatheads that it’s evil liberal propaganda. The irony of the poorest class in America literally siding with the richest class in America - they wouldn’t know it, but hey…how often are people going to take the time to chase down the money?

Nazis. Call them what they are. Nazis.

There’s a great PBS Frontline documentary about these Christian nationalists/fascists, focusing primarily on Michael Flynn who has gained quite the following leading these morons.

Blessed be the Froot Loops.

I was telling people to watch The Family on Netflix years ago. Glad to see nothing has been done and it was a spot on documentary.

Part of me wants to write a WWZ style anthology about people telling their stories post Redcap takeover and eventually being kicked out.

So far I’ve got 3 world building points,

1. only landowning Christian men can vote, non-white Christian men are heavily discouraged by basically the Klan revived as a copy of Iran’s morality police. Voting districts are exclusively alloted based on square acreage instead of population size. The legislative body is called the Holy Synod of Saint Washington.

2. “holy crimes” get you branded with a literal scarlet letter, one of the worst examples is that rape victims are often branded J for “Jezebel” because their attacker was able to work some connections to get out of being prosecuted, so attempting to file charges instead gets treated as admitting to sex before marriage, something that only the woman gets punished for. Rest assured there are other also terrible letters, like S for sodomite or H for heretic.

3. You or your family can pay an exorbitant sum of money to have you “redeemed”, which instead sees you forced to wear a death mask in public as a “mortificant”, yes even if you have trouble breathing in it, no this doesn’t change that people will still treat you like shit, yes you’ll be treated as the one at fault if someone forcibly removes the death mask while you’re in public.
