    It already looks like a christofascist state to those of us that don’t live there.

    But, like, I don’t live there so maybe I’m wrong. I’ve been there lots but I’m not exactly speaking from direct experience.

      Loud minority with some of us speaking up and the rest being sort of stunned/beaten into silence.

      I always wondered as a kid how fascists like the Nazis came to power in other countries. Living through this timeline in the US since 2016 had shed a lot of light on that. I truly think only 10-20% of the population is actually unchained enough to want Christofascism (maybe even less), but it seems like the other 80-90% of people don’t want to put forward the effort to oppose it. I think most people want to “mind their own business” to a fault. It’s led to what you see from the outside.

        20% is a lot. 20% is enough to make it a reality. 1 in 5 people in a country supporting christofascism is wild to me.

          That’s actually a really good point.

          For what it’s worth I think most of them are isolated to insular towns in more rural areas. It’s almost like they’re disconnected from reality (literally and figuratively)
