    It’s about control. What they really want is rich white Christo-Catholic men on the top, and everybody else subservient to them

      This right here. If you try to treat them like they have a specific better world in mind, you’ll only get confused at the contradictions. When you realize there is no right-wing utopia, and they only promise an indefinite system of control, it makes more sense.

        No, they have an ideal world. They want to go back to the 20s where brown people, poor people, and women were second class citizens.

        They will contradict themselves trying to avoid saying this.

          The 20s were more complicated than that. For example, a huge chunk of priests either identified as socialist outright or leaned that way. It took decades of effort to switch Christian religious leaders in America over to the Prosperity Gospel, and the early attempts were laughably transparent and self serving.

          And that’s all kinda what I mean. They don’t want that, not as it actually existed. The constant struggle against some kind of Other is what they want.

          Yes, but only in public. In private, they’ll say exactly what you said, and chuckle.
