No, but appeasing facists should be forbidden. They deserve no kid gloves.

Unfortunately, sometimes it is absolutely necessary, much like the Third Reich needed to be forcibly removed.

I’m used to violent protests where i’m from, (un)fortunately i’m far away or else likely I’d have been caught and deported by ICE.

I didn’t, you completely misunderstood my point and I couldn’t be bothered to correct you. I am pointing out their hipocricy according to their beliefs, not by logic.

Do you know what non religious means?

You make far too many assumptions. I’m sorry you don’t seem to comprehend what I’ve said.

Just for the record, I’m a Muslim by birth, non religious by nature, I’m simply pointing out their hypocrisy based on their supposed understanding of the Bible which i have studied. I defend no religion.

Jesus isn’t here to defend himself, but these people are, someone should ask them what exactly are they praying for? I don’tspeak for Christians nor do I speak for Muslims or Jews, I’m just making a case that these people are cosplaying at being human beings with feelings.

That’s an entirely different discussion. These people are sick, and nothing they’re doing reflects what they’re cosplaying.

We know his underlying messages were about love. Not enriching the already wealthy, not abandoning the poor etc.

Jesus didn’t stutter when he talked about strangers, the poor,those in need, the sick, and the wealthy. I suggest you read the bible critically. Any member of congress who backs Trump and claims to be Christian will burn in their version of hell fire. Much like the so called muslims leading the Gulf countries.

My cousin in Texas (a US citizen) is freaking out, meanwhile my brother is in Ottawa and loving life. Go Canada!

The sole purpose of critical thinking skills and knowledge of things like history, civics, etc… (whether that comes from education, experience or just good old fashioned intellectual curiosity) is to give the rest of our brain the context necessary to override that lizard brain. (In my opinion).

I’m seconding that opinion, makes a lot of sense. It’s so funny, I’m not an American, but I do have friends and family there, yet I find myself outraged by maga and this speed run into fascism. I can’t imagine what it must be like living there these days.

The dumbing down policy certainly worked.

Spot on regarding the person vs group. Being a fan of history I’m amazed at how far we’ve come technologically, but how our base instincts haven’t changed. Even in the face of all the evidence about our behaviour historically, we repeat our mistakes time and again.

I get that’s been the game plan, and to be honest it’s worked perfectly, but poor people actually gloating about “owning the libs” while shooting themselves in the foot, the face and all else beggars belief!

Since you’re not discussing in good faith,I won’t bother responding again. You know what I meant but anyway, they’re idol worshippers and infidels.

The bible begs to differ. I’m sure your source is better though on what makes a Christian.

No one can say you didn’t see this coming, no one can say the USA hasn’t been declining at a free fall pace in all things positive for the people as opposed to corporations and billionaires. No one can say they didn’t know exactly the playbook this administration was going to run, it’s been online for ages. No one can save you except yourselves, and it doesn’t look like you have the stomach for this fight unfortunately.

It’s funny how fast Murica has fallen into authoritarianism, I’m genuinely having a hard time believing that such a large portion of the population can be so stupid.

Not a single Christian among them. What exactly are they praying for, did anyone ask?
