    At National Prayer Breakfast, Hegseth Says US Soldiers Gain Salvation by Dying for ‘Christian Nation’

  • Of course if you quote Jesus' literal words at these people they start screeching about how the Devil can quote scripture too

    I was yelling at some people protesting abortion just before the Dobbs decision, and I found one guy who wanted to argue in front of his wife and daughter.

    I asked why the Bible has a recipe for an abortion potion in it, and specifically for unfaithful wives; he said it doesn't.

    I told him "oh, weird. I have the passage pulled up here on my phone."

    With a smug look he replied "I don't do Bible study with non-believers."

    I told him "okay, I'm sure I can find someone in this crowd who isn't a coward," and started to walk away.

    He didn't want to look pathetic in front of his family, so he agreed to let me read it. As I was pulling it up, he said "you probably don't even know who wrote the book of Numbers."

    I told him "Christian and Jewish tradition points to Moses, but nobody really knows," and then I read the passage.

    When I was done, he said "that said it caused a miscarriage, not an abortion."

    I berated him and told him "that's what the fuck an abortion is, jackass: an induced miscarriage"

    His wife asked then me where I got the boba tea I was drinking. I know I didn't get through to her numbnuts husband, but I think his family may have learned something that day about the Bible and their paterfamilias.

  • It's not gullibility; the reactionary right want to oppress the people they hate. It's White Christian Supremacy.

    It's similar to the KKK: they weren't tricked into being hateful pieces of shit, they just are. Sure, a big part of that is that their culture is rotten with fundamentalism and anti-intelectualism, but those are cultivated and flourish because they're helpful to the cause of being hateful pieces of shit.

  • I have to wonder if that's part of what made him good for the role? The series was trying to break the Trek mold anyway, so it was maybe for the best that the head of the ensemble cast didn't have any particular reverence for the source.

  • I guess I don't understand what you think I'm missing. I think the rise of an explicitly fascist party and the propaganda arm to support it is pretty dire.

    And historically, the right has been at the forefront of new media. Talk radio has been almost exclusively reactionary since its inception, and that provided a model for new media as well. We've had nearly a century of radical right-wing radio content to hone the message and tactics. Father Caughlin was doing his radio show in 1933, wherein he took his "America First" message to the nation.

    There have been more leftist new-media shows than previously, but they are still playing catch-up with the well-funded reactionaries.

    The right-wing rage machine has recently been fueled by a number of things, but mainly loss in prestige due to acceptance of LGBTQ+ people & the US hiring a black president. They got a candidate in Donald Trump who swore to be their retribution, and they rallied around him because he hates all the same people, but (perhaps most importantly) also spoke to their loss in a way that other Republicans and Democrats would not.
