Nah, it would be like the internal portal at my work where you can only log in using your employee ID. You can call yourself whatever you want but IT and HR both know who you are at all times.

trump voters realizing their church is going to die under trump QAnon: The alternative religion that’s coming to your church Mark Fugitt, senior pastor of Round Grove Baptist Church in Miller, Missouri, recently sat down to count the conspiracy theories that people in his church are sharing on Facebook. The list was long. It included claims that 5G radio waves are used for mind control; that George Floyd’s murder is a hoax; that Bill Gates is related to the devil; that masks can kill you; that the germ theory isn’t real; and that there might be something to Pizzagate after all. “You don’t just see it once,” said Fugitt. “If there’s ever anything posted, you’ll see it five to 10 times. It’s escalating for sure.” ... “My fear … is that Jesus would not be co-opted by conspiracy theories in a way that leads the next generation to throw Jesus out with the bathwater,” Stacy said, “that we’re not able to separate the narrative of taking back our country from Jesus’ kingdom narrative.” Others are concerned the theories will become grounds for more mistrust. “Young people are exiting the church because they see their parents and mentors and pastors and Sunday school teachers spreading things that even at a young age they can see through,” said Jeb Barr, the senior pastor of First Baptist Church of Elm Mott outside Waco, Texas. He said conspiracy theories are “extremely widespread and getting worse” among his online church networks. “Why would we listen to my friend Joe … who’s telling me about Jesus who also thinks that Communists are taking over America and operating a pedophile ring out of a pizza restaurant? … Why would we be believed?”

Dixie Cretin Seaman posted:trump voters realizing their church is going to die under trump it’s funny because Qanon is probably more credible than the Jesus myth and the way most Americans churches treat it frankly where Jesus is somehow a white American is decidedly more absurd. and these pastors don’t ask if indoctrinating people with a ridiculous theory and teaching them faith over facts somehow made them more influencable with absurd notions.

Lol, we teach them that you can get stripped animals by making their parents gently caress in front of a stripe pattern and convince them that when they die they get to do whatever makes them happy forever and ever and now they're somehow falling for these crazy and obvious falsehoods Who could have predicted this crossover?! Pizza gate is crazy, don't believe such nonsense a child could see through! Also, demons and angels are real and all around you! Big brains on these ones. (yeah, I know, a frightening number of liberal folk are into this voodoo bs too; doesn't make is any less funny to watch these idiots selling lies getting mad about other idiots selling other lies)

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:Pennsylvania has less than 8 million registered voters and an 800,000+ margin for the Democrats according to registrations Democrats outnumber Republicans by 100k in Kentucky. Voter registration is a useless indicator because people will switch over to a different party without switching their registration because they were never the kind of person who voted in primaries. Both campaigns are treating it as a swing state this year.

That's not a factor in Pennsylvania.

Groovelord Neato posted:Voting Republican when you have a unionized government job is insane. My current argument for how people can think this way: Those people who are like this: honestly believe that they can become a farmer, or come from a farming family. The nature of union work is easy street to them and a good chunk of money. But The feel like they can say "gently caress it all" and go live off the land whenever they want.. They want no government at all. How much they understand what government does, varies? Like some probably don't even realize that the air is as relatively clean as it is due to regulations. They want EMP bombs to go off and return everybody to working, hard, off the land. They also chuckle to themselves as they see themselves using a system against itself to ruin it. Don't know fully. These thoughts can change.

There people who want some government (small or big), then there are people, who are in unions who vote against unions, who vote against unions, - they are the no-government people. Then there is a third group that is utilizing the no-government people. They are using the no-government people to build a monarchy/ dictatorships. It doesn't matter how they make it: Corporation, Government, Religion. They just need bodies and power. So now there are two large groups that work against unions, no matter how much unions help a person out.
