Theocracy and fascism seem to be the two general wings of the seditionist movement.

Belief, whether it is religious or political is the bane of humankind's existence.
"FOR HOW SHALL WE FILL PEOPLE WITH BLIND FAITH in the correctness of a doctrine, if we ourselves spread uncertainty and doubt by constant changes in its outward structure? Here, too, we can learn by the example of the Catholic Church. Though its doctrinal edifice, and in part quite superfluously, COMES INTO COLLISION WITH EXACT SCIENCE AND RESEARCH, it is none the less unwilling to sacrifice so much as one little syllable of its dogmas - IT IS ONLY SUCH DOGMAS WHICH LEND TO THE WHOLE BODY THE CHARACTER OF A FAITH." [Adolf Hitler, "Mein Kampf" Vol. 2 Chapter 5]
"I have followed [the Church] in giving our party program the character of unalterable finality, like the Creed. The Church has never allowed the Creed to be interfered with. It is fifteen hundred years since it was formulated, but every suggestion for its amendment, every logical criticism, or attack on it, has been rejected. The Church has realized that ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING can be built up on a document of that sort, no matter how contradictory or irreconcilable with it. THE FAITHFUL WILL SWALLOW IT WHOLE, SO LONG AS LOGICAL REASONING IS NEVER ALLOWED TO BE BROUGHT TO BEAR ON IT" [Adolf Hitler, from Rauschning, The Voice of Destruction, pp. 239-40]

Unless you want to expand on how the concept of belief itself is the root of all evil... I think this is a shity excuse to post Hitler qoutes.
You should at least clarify the point you're trying to make with these quotes.
@domos Hitler did explain it in those two statements. Just as Trump has used this tactic with his stolen election lies: He has filled his followers with blind faith in him and his lies. Believers will believe the most ridiculous nonsense without evidence. That is what Qanon and other cults do, believe without evidence.
THE FAITHFUL WILL SWALLOW IT WHOLE, SO LONG AS LOGICAL REASONING IS NEVER ALLOWED TO BE BROUGHT TO BEAR ON IT"
If your willful ignorance doesn't allow you to understand it, no amount of explaining will help you.
@nogod4me What you mean by wilful ignorance...
And if the point you're making is to be taking a substantive... To Wmwhich I agree there is substance now that you've added more clarification... It is simply inaccurate to imply that this started with Trump or because of Trump.
If anything, the point you're making implies that the failure to complete reconstruction has stagnated the American experience ever since.
Feel free to share ideas on what the type of cultural or societal re-engineering will be necessary to fix the issue... Especially what type of legal and institutional mechanisms would be necessary to make it work given our current constitution...
@domos Hitler used Catholic dogma as a blueprint for his fascist Reich: To claim something no matter if science or facts or even reality disproved it, and to repeat it often and unchangingly. This creates blind faith in the believer.
Trump and his cohort Republicans are doing the same thing with the stolen election lies, creating true believers, a cult following. They repeat the lie over and over until the believer accepts it as fact without evidence, and even when the evidence is against them.
Fascists have done this for years. One example is denying the Holocaust ever happened.
The reason we are at this place is because religion is dying and belief is becoming something less relied upon. That is why we are seeing extremists like Qanon becoming more evident. Believers who refuse to accept reality will become more extreme in contrast with the rational mind.
