Trump and GOP use a fake panic about a "trans" Easter to justify their Christian nationalism (www.salon.com)

It's easy to roll one's eyes as the self-serving dramatics of MAGA voters using false claims of victimhood as cover for their ugly views. But, as the threatening language in Greene's tweet shows, this "woe is us" act is deeply dangerous. The hyperbolic conspiracy theories and dehumanizing language serve to convince Republican voters that religious liberty and democracy are simply values they can no longer afford to hold. The message is Christians are so "under siege" that the only way to fight back is by stripping everyone else of basic rights.

Pay attention to the personalities of republican voters, you'll notice that a majority of them are very clearly subpar human beings who are looking for someone to look down on to feel powerful and important.

For clarity, when i say subpar i mean theyre the "peaked in high school" type who have never attempted or just flat out failed at any upwards mobility and are now living a shittier life than they expected. Literally incapable of looking inwards
