Just watched the first few minutes. Guess I'm staying up late tonight. But it was interesting to experience visceral offense at the image of (fantasy Jesus) in a MAGA hat. It's been 40-plus years since I read the Book of John 5 times over and over before actually being 4-Square dunked, yet I guess some of the sense of the decency of Jesus lingers, because I felt the evil; the heresy. What could speak more of the perversion, that Jesus is in service to Trump? I am upset.
I do and I am scared. I am inclined to say that there should be the word "white" before Christian Nationalism, but I know that is not true, but fail to understand why.
The likes of Mark Robinson and Thomas Clarence are not singular, there are black preachers preaching the same social gospel., and then there are the Indian Americans, Asian Americans
When Dubya was appiointed by SCOTUS in 2000, I sat horrified as a military style honor guard at Texas A&M dressed in white came stomping in jack boots down the aisle of the church, I felt as if I were watching a cosplay of the Nuremberg Rally.
This is not new, it has been building steam since reconstruction, only the goal of these theocrats goes far beyond race.
Let us all dispense with the bullshit and get down to brass-tacks. As is evidenced by U.S. warmongering and international foment to the disastrous domestic debacle, I have firmly come to the conclusion that people way above my paygrade have decided, for whatever reasons, that many have to die. I won't go as far as The Golden Billion...but something like that.
The good news, being a Black Person in the United States, is that we don't expect any different; European-Americans do because their lives are more valuable.
I can tell you though, that this European-American never considered her life more valuable than yours or anyone else's. Some do, but that's because they are "religious." I've come to understand that separating us into valuable, not valuable, chattel and breeding machines is the primary goal of religion. It's a control system used by the oligarchs. “Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich”-Napoleon Bonaparte
Indeed, the peasants are armed in order for us to kill each other in the coming civil war. Winter is coming; there won't be enough food/water for everyone, so peasants will also starve. This is the will of the fossil-fuels cartel that owns the USA. My father was in that business (sadly, he was independent and never hit the big well) and I can tell you about alcoholic, bitter, and cruel oil men who care only for their money. The cruelty is the point.
A perfect accoutrement to today's Hartmann Report and in light of Asslito's recent religious ramblings.
Who says it can't happen here...again?

Thanks Rohn for the link. It needs maximum exposure.
The United States populace has no idea what it is in for.

And it isn''t just racial minorities, but minorities period, sexual, political, religious
Apparently it is not goring of ox's that is concerning to some, but whose ox is being gored, and who is doing the goring.

So they thought.
