What is amazing is how so many people are readily brainwashed to believe the Russian/GQP version of events, and make up utter bullshit to support their beliefs. Mueller's Report lays it all out, and if one believes it was a Democrat conspiracy, simply arm-wave it away. However, no small number of these people are trolls who are addicted to the infamy of repeating asinine lies. They even take pride in their immoral behavior. Sucks to be them.

Modern Christianity in the U.S. has nothing to do with the Bible. (Nothing of significance) The cult of hate has no objections to the slaughter of Blacks, Jews, Hispanics, LBGTQ; only thoughts and prayers that are hypocritical and insincere. The latter come with a wink-and-a-not, reinforcing their psychopathic lack of shame. They secretly applaud these atrocities, supposing that these "others" belong in hell anyway. And, these massacres feed their warped notions of justice, seeing them as helpful in suppressing and intimidating the *others* who favor a secular government. And they have no issue with fostering the militia kooks and lone wolves who are encouraged by racism and bigotry. Where are the Christians who denounce their fellow *Christians* as the meme suggests? Crickets do I hear?

racocn8 comments on May 29, 2022:

A large share of the mass murder events are in schools. Now what group has sought to defund and undercut public education? Does that group support politicians that prevent gun legislation which would reduce these atrocities? (Pro-life?!!!) And remember that a large share of the other mass murder targets are similarly denounced and hated from the pulpit: Blacks, Gays, Jews,... These mass murders serve the purposes of the Evangelical White Supremacists, and a goodly share of the shooters are racists or bigots. Christian Nationalists have a stranglehold on the GQP, and these shootings serve their interest in intimidating those deemed as lesser. Even with Biden as president, we have slipped into an authoritarian fascist state so long as the police departments side with the fascists/neo-Nazis (i.e. Kyle Rittenhouse).

I've been reading some screeds where the posters continue to advocate Putin's talking points (in the face of dozens of documented civilian atrocities). That seems very similar to the gun advocates who continue to resist regulations approved by 90% of the rest of the citizenry. Like the Putin-stooges, they are intransigent (lacking empathy and critical thinking). The problem we face is that their world-view is indifferent to new events. They are completely committed to their views, and continue to support the corruption that endorses their position. Thus, half of Congress refuse to do the job they were elected to do. Indeed, they view their mandate to be obstruction and derision of anything from the democrats. Thus, we have no government, and without a government, we have no country. A civil war is upon us without the benefit of acknowledgment. The sedition that started Jan 6 is ongoing and the United States really doesn't exist anymore. It is a not-so-secret secession.

The somewhat recent merging of Evangelical Christians with the GQP means that churches have to deal with Q-anon nonsense, and the no-holds-barred cynicism of Conservatism. As Conservatism gets criticized, so also are the Christians aligned with it. Conservatism has lurched to the far right, embracing the worst racism and bigotry, and at least some Christians have enough empathy and self-respect that they don't like being tarred with valid criticism. Eventually, some Christians become overwhelmed by the cognitive dissonance.
