Jesus didn't stutter when he talked about strangers, the poor,those in need, the sick, and the wealthy.
I suggest you read the bible critically.
Any member of congress who backs Trump and claims to be Christian will burn in their version of hell fire. Much like the so called muslims leading the Gulf countries.
The sole purpose of critical thinking skills and knowledge of things like history, civics, etc... (whether that comes from education, experience or just good old fashioned intellectual curiosity) is to give the rest of our brain the context necessary to override that lizard brain. (In my opinion).
I'm seconding that opinion, makes a lot of sense. It's so funny, I'm not an American, but I do have friends and family there, yet I find myself outraged by maga and this speed run into fascism. I can't imagine what it must be like living there these days.
Spot on regarding the person vs group. Being a fan of history I'm amazed at how far we've come technologically, but how our base instincts haven't changed. Even in the face of all the evidence about our behaviour historically, we repeat our mistakes time and again.
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!
No one can say you didn't see this coming, no one can say the USA hasn't been declining at a free fall pace in all things positive for the people as opposed to corporations and billionaires. No one can say they didn't know exactly the playbook this administration was going to run, it's been online for ages.
No one can save you except yourselves, and it doesn't look like you have the stomach for this fight unfortunately.
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.
When all the madness started I was reminded of an 80's movie called Red Dawn. Although this isn't a traditional invasion, I'm quite dissapointed in Americans response so far.
No worries mate, you had a good run, all things come to an end and all that!.
On a serious note I do empathise a bit for the normals among you. But as a recipient of some foreign policy freedom in the 80s by the USS new Jersey on Beirut, I wish I could be selective in whose face the leopards eat under this administration. Unfortunately I can't.
