I had a conversation last night with a friend who is religious and an Orange Crotch-rot supporter. He was more than happy to talk about his support, so I let him talk. This gave me some insight into these mysterious “Christians” who back the Dumbass Der Fuhrer.
They don’t care about him. They will back whoever they feel will propel them to their ultimate goal- a theocracy. They have no problem with being saddled with the hypocrisy of installing a judge two weeks before an election, as long as it’s their judge. It doesn’t matter that Bret Kavanaugh has been credibly accused of sexual harassment. No republican would accuse a Democratic nominee of that. (seriously, this is what he said) Never mind that the Democrats would never forward such an abhorrent human being for a nominee. Maybe someone can tell me if there’s an unspoken rule about the Federalist Society wanting to overthrow the rule of law and install a God appointed Prophet/President to finally bring about heaven on earth? There is no norm or law they are unwilling to break in order to make their vision of America come true.
They don’t care about children in cages, a crippled economy, 230,000 dead or 83 freakin thousand cases a day. They want a world where the right anglo-saxons with the right religion get to enjoy all the benefits of freedom and capitalism, and the rest are left to a soul crushing life of neglect and censure. The America they want? The Bill of Rights for them, fascism for us. They talk about “freedom” all day long, as long as they can tell women what to do with their bodies, who gets to vote, who gets to walk down the sidewalk without being gunned down by the police and who gets to live to the average life span.
The ends justify the means. Because these people think with their bibles, not their brains. They would use science to find proof of angels, where the best scholarly pursuit is to man-splain Jonah into believability.
When I tried to get him to understand that what he wants will put an end to Democracy and end any hope for liberty and justice for all… well… that’s what their god wants.
Luckily, it seems we are kicking them in their pews right now.
