In which Rod Dreher says he'd have sided with the fascists in the Spanish Civil War because Religion! https://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/learning-from-the-spanish-civil-war/ Money quote: watching the documentary made me certain that I am glad the Nationalists won. His original quote was much worse saying he would have fought for them but then edited it down.

Local Weather posted:It blows my mind every time I think about it. They really are a cancer on American society. I mean I always knew it in my head that they were worthless idiots but their fanatical support of someone who doesn't give a poo poo about them or anything they claim to believe just gets me every time They know he does not give a poo poo about them. They aren't stupid, they are just cynical as all hell. In the past god has given Jews and Christians pagan kings who none the less ruled like an absolute tyrant in ways that benefited them directly. What conservative Christians want is to break democracy as they full well know they can't achieve their social goals in one. With democracy broken they want a permanent ruling class that panders to them on social issues allowing them to force biblical laws on non (and even liberal) Christians, women, gays, minorities, liberals, and academics. They know Trump doesn't give a drat about them. But they also realize he might just permanently break the government and give them what they want to keep them happy. Them voting for Trump isn't stupid, it's just diabolical.

Bearjew posted:believing that Evangelicals think this deeply is interesting. most of them are simply motivated by hate, which is channeled through wedge issues like abortion or "immigration." Their leaders pen multiple articles about wanting a king. They are motivated by dominionism which is exactly what I was explaining.

docbeard posted:Ammon Bundy (I think, one of them anyway) coming out all "what the gently caress are we doing at the border" is a pretty good example of this. Ammon Bundy is a Mormon and the Mormons might be generally crazy but they were persecuted people for a long time who fled to Mexico who are generally good on helping refugees and immigrants.

Admiral Ray posted:biden is a stupid piece of poo poo He's uttering what the Democratic policy for SS and Medicare actually is. No matter who is elected that will remain the policy. It doesn't matter if Sanders wins, the Democratic Senate and House will enforce that policy no matter what. Going counter to that policy will only fracture the party and cost donors and upper class social liberals. That would effectively throw lgbtq, women, and minorities under the bus. It's brutal, but he's telling the truth of the matter. You vote Rs for crazy and insane. You vote Ds to get actual cuts implemented by technocrats.

Fallen Hamprince posted:*chariots of fire theme plays as thousands of federal employees get evicted* Dunno how it is for all of them but a huge amount of them (to a lesser extent the contractors) are in federal or military credit unions which extend 0% interest loans as long as this mess goes on because it happens so often. Most people I know are out day drinking at the bar and getting an extended Christmas vacation. That said, nobody has ever tested just how long you can keep this going, or if you can actually not give them back pay. So this may end up in lanyard club riots.

...like their extra comfortable lives somehow delayed puberty, or they just never got stabbed in the eyes for their toilet wine or jumped every day while walking home or whatever. also i noticed how a lot of rich kids tended to be obnoxious around strangers in an unfamiliar way to me, like, oversharing while constantly whining and acting arrogant about random poo poo or something i dunno. Whereas doing that in the projects would get u...stabbed in the eyes for that toilet wine lmao

There was a whole hoo-ha a while back of witches casting spells on Trump (as a joke) that got Rod Dreher and Ross Douthat all tickled about spiritual warfare against conservatives. That a religious minority wouldn't like conservatism shouldn't be shocking, but getting worked up about this is getting trolled of the level of the Satanic Church and their kick rear end statue.
