My life would be much worse if I lived through a boiling water bath than if I managed to live through a room temperature bath, so very good analogy.
The eugenicists running the country have cooked it already so even if we survive it's still horribly damaged forever.
I was never a believer but I was raised by MAGA Christians. The kind that believe in the rapture and show you bad dystopian movies about it.
I tried to believe it for a long time but eventually gave up. I'm pretty sure the majority of the people didn't believe any of the mythology, they were just there for the racism and child abuse, so I tried to get away. Unfortunately the same stupid bullies have taken over the country. At least I'm not trying to see their side as tolerable anymore.
