White Christian Nationalism Is a ‘Threat to Democracy’

StoicsFuckBest comments on Jun 5, 2022:

I'm not sure if you're right, because Marjorie Taylor Greene says that all the ills of the country will go away if we would just embrace Christian nationalism. https://twitter.com/rightwingwatch/status/1532724881523081216

Canada has much more going for it than the US does, however it is a good object lesson for them.

@HippieChick58 Here's to your granddaughter, and all her playmates of every color and creed! May they grow up in a peaceful, tyrant-free democracy! May they enjoy a natural environment untainted by greedy corporate polluters! Looks like we have work to do.

The only reason the U.S was a powerhouse after W.W.II was the fact we had the Only intact economy..

Flyingsaucesir replies on Jun 5, 2022:

And we only had an economy capable of prosecuting the war because of the leadership of FDR, a Democrat whose liberal policies pulled the country up out of a deep, deep depression.

Now apply your "protect school children from losers wielding military weapons" to USA fomenting trouble & arming insurgents around the world not just with rifles but land & sea mines, rockets, tanks & cruise missiles and you will understand why Russia took action to prevent Russian speaking ...

Good on you for noticing the bias reflected in the graphic (it had not occurred to me), but wasn't the Uvalde shooter a Hispanic kid?

Matias comments on Jun 5, 2022:

The USA are not *yet* a failed state. It's certainly on a slippery slope, but so far most of the institutions are still working fairly well. Things would be different if the attempted coup on Jan 6, 2021 had been successful, but it wasn't

Flyingsaucesir replies on Jun 5, 2022:

The coup failed not so much because of institutional strength but because good people stood up for right, and remained true to their oaths of office and duty to country. What is really worrying thing now is that the insurrectionists are trying to replace the good people with lackeys who will put party over country and subvert the next election, or the next.

What a coincidence! I just heard some interesting commentary on the role of tribalism in the current gun violence crisis. I posted it only a moment ago. 😂

Flyingsaucesir replies on Jun 5, 2022:

@FrayedBear First, it's not a valid analogy. Second, we already know the real reason why Putin invaded Ukraine. He wants that land, because it is some of the most productive farm land in the world. So he invents a fake casus belli, and a fake history of Ukraine, and then he starts bombing Russian-speaking and Ukrainian-speaking civilians alike. Putin is not going to get away with it. By now he knows that he's lost. It's only a matter of time before his war machine breaks down. If he has a shred of honor left he should take his little ivory-handled pistol, put it in his mouth, and blow his brains out. He's a dead man walking anyway. Why does he have to drag the whole country down with him? Do the honorable thing Vlad. Eat your gun.

Flyingsaucesir replies on Jun 5, 2022:

@FrayedBear You are trying to defend the indefensible. Even if what you claim were true (there is no evidence that it is) Russia had no right to meddle in the internal affairs of a sovereign nation.

Every day 321 people in the USA are shot.

Fernapple comments on Jun 5, 2022:

Here in the UK it takes about three years to reach your daily number. Just saying.

Flyingsaucesir replies on Jun 5, 2022:

So the US shooting rate is about 1000 times higher than in the UK. Even with our bigger population, it is still an ignominious distinction.
