The Christofascist takeover of America is well underway

The minority is emboldened. They are well-funded. They are zealots. They lie. They cheat. They steal.

They have taken over local politics. State politics. Federal politics. The courts. Our institutions.

They use propaganda. They use religion. They use cognitive dissonance. They embrace hypocrisy. They twist history. They are organized and in lock-step.

Democrats, I fear, have not responded to this existential threat to the republic.

I fear a collapse. Discuss.

it tipping back the other way. I figured I would be dead before this happened. Now, with the Pig and the resurgence of fascists around the world I am not so sure. This isn't just a matter of electing the christofascists. It is a cultural shift. We are losing ground.

We are too busy bashing Dave Chappelle for not understanding how race is different from gender identity to care about the end of Democracy.

Many in the country have become disoriented due to the massive flow of lies.
