“Welcome to the end of democracy!” Posobiec declared. “We’re here to overthrow it completely. We didn’t get all the way there on January 6th, but we will endeavor to get rid of it and replace it with this right here,” he said, holding his fist in the air. “That’s right, because all glory is not to government, all glory to God.”

Steve Bannon, former White House adviser, is heard in the background exclaiming, “All right! Amen!”

All Republicans are perfectly happy with the idea of having a (Christo-)fascist dictatorship in power in the U.S. . All that they care about is that the dictatorship rewards them with money and power. I know Republicans like this, people you might think were just ordinary folks, and they’re masters of telling themselves stories to justify their violence and thievery and masters at not seeing anything that might cause cognitive dissonance, to the extent that they’re capable of that at all.

    I ignored nothing, I specifically said that fascists use religion, along with culture, race, sex, gender, national origin, etc. to achieve their ends. To blame religion rather than the fascists themselves is disingenuous.

      Well I agree with religion, culture, race and national origin. Gender/sex are weird inclusions, but whatever. You are absolutely correct that they leech on to identity markers.

      To blame religion rather than the fascists themselves is disingenuous.

      Like I said before, calm down and scroll up. No one said religion ALONE leads to fascism.
