The pre-Trump era is ancient history, they'll actively ignore anything if it means they can keep a celebrity in their ranks. Like how all GWB-era Republicans are RINO failures by default... if they're even acknowledged. Now buy my book about how the Democrats are the REAL racists because of their slave-holding origins...

Fighting Trousers posted:She didn't kneel, so it's fine. The goal posts are in constant motion. Conservatives are too hung up on "one nation, under god" and perfectly willing to trample on "with liberty and justice for all". And speaking of Colin Kaepernick, I found out recently that his foundation has been funding second autopsies for people who died mysteriously in police custody. https://www.si.com/nfl/2023/02/07/colin-kaepernick-police-violence-autopsies-dialy-cover That is a 100% genius move with a powerful impact on people's lives. One woman in the article was baffled at how her mother could have died of natural causes in jail. The second autopsy showed that she died of asphyxiation caused by manual strangulation, aka George Floyd Syndrome. Another victim was found to not have had a first autopsy performed, the record of it was forged. e. https://www.knowyourrightscamp.org/

Lol, under god was added in 1954 because of the Cold War, but because it was part of boomer’s collective childhood, it’s now something that always had existed and will always exist, a la the same dozen Christmas songs, even though they were brand new at the time.

GD_American posted:If you haven't figured out by now that pointing out conservative hypocrisy is a sucker's game, I don't know what to tell you Yeah, they have memories of goldfish or they see it as some kind of pragmatism in the face of what they perceive as the continued leftist and liberal incursions into society. Someone pointed out they used to vilify JKR as peddling satanism to kids. That's true, but the modern TERF movement is descendant of the wave of feminism that they also decried as just hating men. They're on board for all of it now if it means they get to hate trans people. There's no through line other than invented reactionary politics. They like being reactionaries. We might regard that kind of thing as a useless distraction from seeking meaningful political change, but they don't. They like waking up every day to some new bullshit. They think it makes their life more meaningful, and also fills them with a very comforting sense of righteousness at all times. The specifics of what conseratives are saying is rarely relavent moment to moment. The broad thrust is always very obvious.

No, it's also allowed to exist when it's fearmongering about immigrants spreading it to Americans. Remember that right wing media was/is freaking out about Title 42 potentially ending.

Sounds like Directv MAY bring back Newsmax IF they get rid of their ridiculous licensing fees. https://twitter.com/DIRECTVnews/status/1624621705351032833 "Since we would not agree to Newsmax’s demand to pay them tens of millions of dollars in licensing fees, DIRECTV was no longer permitted by Newsmax to air its content." Newsmax has been trending by rightwingers claiming its just freespeech as they do.

See also "In God We Trust" appearing on the dollar bill in 1957. I didn't learn until this morning that is first appeared in 1864 due to increasing religious sentiment during the civil war.

happyhippy posted:If it came from the south, they would be saying there's immigrants in it. And fentanyl. This continues to bug me because even like NPR or anyone who's not FOX repeats the idea the fent influx is along the southern border, or at best just doesn't correct that. But everything I read and learn about that says it comes over in shipping containers and through customs. Which partially explains why New Hampshire has been hit particularly hard. But tying the fentanyl problem to immigration along the Mexican border seems kind of...I don't know...irresponsible at a minimum and nefarious at a max?

Yes, it is literally just trying to persuade people into being anti immigration. Just like the MS-13 claims from the Obama presidency. Or the other current claim (which may or may not be true, but it doesn't matter either way) that like 37 people on the Most Wanted Terrorist list were caught trying to cross into the US from Mexico.

In general, Christian evangelism is closely tied to conservatism and is an extremely influential force in American politics." Christians are losing people at such a high rate right now because of news like this which is coming out more and more every day so hooking into right wing ideologies may be one of the few things that keeps them afloat. https://twitter.com/AP/status/1624230755453870080

Discendo Vox posted:Theoretically possible but unlikely; the church has had this sort of atomized structure for a very, very long time, and not solely to diffuse liability. The Church's structure is one of those things fascinating things that gets weirder the closer you look at it. On the one hand individual dioceses have considerable autonomy/responsibility over themselves, but at the same time Rome's supremacy is all-but unquestionable.* I agree it wasn't just done to make it harder for secular authority to bring the entire Church to heel and owes much to frankly centuries-outmoded models of organization, but it sure does come in handy for keeping the Really Big Pile of Money safe from hostile court decisions. *discounting weirdos like Mel Gibson, of course.

So much important information missing from that article, though they do get their info from the Daily Mail. Guy fired multiple shots with his assault rifle at a group of men in the dark, says he didnt realize his warning shots had hit one. Claims he reported it to border patrol, but later found the guy dead in the grass while checking on his horse. No amount of time given other than later that day. Claims that it was a group of armed men, but either he just happened to hit the one unarmed one, or his friends scavenged the body and just left him to die.
