“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.

        Bullshit. Fascism has made use of religion, just as it’s made use of every other facet of culture to gain power. The two are unrelated.

          Part of having faith is ability to ignore inconvenient truths, as your post demonstrates.

              I note you’ve contributed nothing to the discussion. Please lay out your credentials so that I might see what mighty intellect I’m dealing with here. Thanks.

                Your uninformed assertions and bigotry don’t merit that level of respect. Educate yourself and be better, it’s not my job to fix you.

                  What is your job then? To waste people’s time? To masturbate furiously to downvotes?
