    It already looks like a christofascist state to those of us that don’t live there.

    But, like, I don’t live there so maybe I’m wrong. I’ve been there lots but I’m not exactly speaking from direct experience.

      currently it’s a loud and powerful minority that may pull us into civil war.

      Loud minority with some of us speaking up and the rest being sort of stunned/beaten into silence.

      I always wondered as a kid how fascists like the Nazis came to power in other countries. Living through this timeline in the US since 2016 had shed a lot of light on that. I truly think only 10-20% of the population is actually unchained enough to want Christofascism (maybe even less), but it seems like the other 80-90% of people don’t want to put forward the effort to oppose it. I think most people want to “mind their own business” to a fault. It’s led to what you see from the outside.

        20% is a lot. 20% is enough to make it a reality. 1 in 5 people in a country supporting christofascism is wild to me.

          That’s actually a really good point.

          For what it’s worth I think most of them are isolated to insular towns in more rural areas. It’s almost like they’re disconnected from reality (literally and figuratively)
