Conservatism and religious fundamentalism are essentially two flavors of the same mental disorder. For both, the cruelty is the point. They both fetishize human suffering. Trickle down economics, disinvestment in health and human services, crumbling infrastructure, LGBTQ exclusion, racism, overturning Roe, etc. Dark Ages indeed.

The right would like to believe that conservatives would error on the side of caution and not reckless abandon! But lunatics can't tell the difference between the two of them. The right just choose to believe whatever they want to believe.
We can believe anything we want to believe, but if it is not true it is worthless though.
