No not that life, our life.
No not that family, our family.
No not that faith, our faith.
"Pro-Life" but they will execute oceans of lives, in their regime.
I expect full-on human-sacrifice worship of Trump within 4y of his gaining dictatorship.
( there's been continuous human-sacrifice-cult activity in the Americas, Central & northward, for about 11.7 millenia, ttbomk.
This won't be anything new: it'll just be the same-old same-old getting blatent about it.
I bet every one of you an imaginary-dime, right now, that the "uncanny valley" is going to be stark on Trump's face, within 4y, to those who aren't his worshippers.
I don't know if there's a remind-me-bot thingy for lemmy, but if there is, & anybody wants to set a reminder, so you can prove me wrong, go for it.
I think this bet of mine is certain.

Shut up! I am better than you because my skin colour matches der Fuhrer. Der Fuhrer says that rich people are better! Der Fuhrer says God promotes him! All hail!
Everyone will be required to eat nothing but Sea Wheedies.
Shut up, Oompa Loompa.
I wish it were that easy....I will shut up. The fascists won't.
Many claim that God speaks directly to them, often in dreams, and believe that Christians are called to wage a spiritual battle for control of the United States.
These people are dangerous.
And mentally ill.
I increasingly feel like religious indoctrination in childhood creates a kind of mental illness or disability by disrupting the development of critical thinking skills.
This is not accidental. Many religious scholars have talked about the need to "instruct" children when they're very young - by the age of three or four.
Teaching children religion is child abuse. It happened to me and it was abuse. My parents didn't realize it and I forgive them because they were abused by it too but we need to start calling it what it is.
Because it's normalized gaslighting. If a kid isn't encouraged to think critically and is told to ignore their own perception of the world, they learn to seek truth externally from themselves.
I experienced this first hand and it was stunting, if not traumatic. I came to peace with myself for being atheist only in my 20s.
My wife only got it a little firsthand because her family is evangelical, but her mother is one of the kindest, most accepting, most tolerant people I've ever met. Despite that, and despite being an atheist since she was a teenager, she still has dreams about going to hell in her mid-40s.
I have trauma from this, but from the other end. So many stunted people trying to force insanity on me as if it were logic. For the longest time I thought I was crazy or broken for not being able to make some connection they were. Turns out, there's no connections. Just gut feeling.
Is that really the quiet part anymore? The GOP being anti-choice and pro-matricide is pretty fucking obvious.
The quiet part, for me at least, is being anti-democratic, anti-interracial marriages, and wanting to forcefully convert Americans to Christianity.
I wouldn't even say the last one is the quiet part. They are pretty forward about that, too.
Sorta? With both the last ones they've been open about discouraging it but our current Scotus seems to be chomping at the bit to kill Loving v Virginia and I'm sure they're doing homework to try and kill separation of church and state.
Yeah. I saw it coming years ago. There's no more quiet part, only people who haven't been listening
FYI, the expression is "champing at the bit".
Oh neat, TIL another eggcorn I misunderstood.
