    It’s funny how fast Murica has fallen into authoritarianism, I’m genuinely having a hard time believing that such a large portion of the population can be so stupid.

        If stupidity has a symmetric distribution.

      It’s been the calculated plan for far longer than I can remember.

      Conservative politics relies on stupid uneducated voters incapable of critical thinking.

      The voters that, with a lack of actual knowledge of their own through either experience, formal education or even just good old fashioned intellectual curiosity about the world around them, will happily cede their opinion to the first authority figure who tells them what they are already presdisposed to believe and confirm their biases.

      It’s the entire reason there has been a coordinated attack on the liberal arts and college education under the guise of “financial constraints” and the push in the last few decades towards trade schools.

      Conservative politics requires stupid who are content to learn how to be a tradesman, without any of that inconventient history or critical thinking getting in the way.

        I get that’s been the game plan, and to be honest it’s worked perfectly, but poor people actually gloating about “owning the libs” while shooting themselves in the foot, the face and all else beggars belief!

    Jesus actually said something about that, it turns out. Not that it matters to these knuckleheads.

  Not a single Christian among them

  You don’t get to decide this, regardless of how embarrassed you may be.

    Oh they may call themselves Christians, but none of them uphold the ideals or beliefs of Christians. They are hypocrites. The same day they do this they take away healthcare from millions, take food out of children’s hands, and ramp up more violence to those already hurting.

    I don’t care what their label is they put on the outside, none of these are Christian. They openly spit on the morals that Jesus laid down.

    The bible begs to differ. I’m sure your source is better though on what makes a Christian.

      The Bible tells you that you get to decide who is a Christian or not?

      I’m afraid not, sir/madam.

        Since you’re not discussing in good faith,I won’t bother responding again. You know what I meant but anyway, they’re idol worshippers and infidels.

  The concept of God was invented because it’s an unbearable thought to think that men like these will get away scot free with what they’re doing

    The concept of God was invented by men like these to enable exactly what they’re doing :)

    It’s the ultimate authoritarian power fantasy, and the human mouthpieces for that ultimate authority tend to be very well taken care of.
