MAGA and Christian nationalism: Bigger threat to America than Hamas could ever be
People actually think hamas is a threat to the USA?
I think the risk is more in the way of Hamas getting recruits in the US and inciting terrorist acts here.
That said it’s a vague possibility compared to the certainty that christofascists will absolutely incite terrorist and insurrectist acts.
Lots of people do. I'm surrounded by them.
They're wrong. But they're out here.
If only we could get more people, especially young adults, to care about politics. Those asshats would get eradicated in the primaries.
A big part of the problem is that the damn DNC doesn't have anybody worth anything. They're all a bunch of geriatrics whose platforms are so uninspiring that the only reason people vote for them is because of how vile their GOP opponents are.
If there were no possible way that anybody in the GOP could win and two DNC candidates were running against each other, I'm not sure I could even be bothered to vote, they're all equally bland and useless. They're practically the embodiment of "business as usual".
On one side you have a party whose entire platform is essentially "we're going to burn everything down and in the ashes rebuild all the worst parts of the 20th century, from robber barons to slave plantations with a little neo-nazi spice for flavor". Then on the other side you've got "we'll slightly improve things, but not too much because we don't want to step on the toes of the ones signing our paychecks, and we'll actively oppose anyone who makes too big a wave".
Blaming young people is a great way to convince them to vote for you.
In case you didn’t know… Boomers held the largest voting block for all but the last election or two. So if your gojng to play the generational blame game, why don’t you blame people who’ve been creating policy for the last 60 years or so.
I didn't see anyone blaming, I read that comment as saying that younger people significantly disagree with the Christian right, so if we could get more of them voting we'd be able to trounce the generally older folks who vote GOP.
It's a little oversimplified though. If you look at the demographics of the last presidential election, there were lots of older people voting for Biden and younger people voting for Trump. Not the majority, but the difference isn't as stark as a lot of people think.
They've been saying that the whole time, just like "people don't want to work".
So sadly I don't think that's going to work and that the system is more fundamentally broken.
Hamas has no airforce, no navy, no modern army. They shouldn't even make our top 100 issues list
Hamas has no airforce
Tbh neither did Al-Qaida, until they hijacked a couple of planes. That's the sort of threat being talked about, not like Red Dawn shit
Yeah but Al-Qaeda was ranting about attacking the USA for years and had actually already done terror acts by 9/11
Hamas basically doesn't exist outside Israel. Technically, they're Hezbollah's little brother according to the US. They really only care about whatever happens in Gaza. Kind of like the Taliban in Afghanistan
Ya if only our intelligence agencies spent more time looking for terrorists and not trying to overthrow brown peoples governments or trying to root out "socialist."
You don't need to be nuanced about it. MAGA extremists have actually killed people on American (and Canadian) soil, planned bombings, and attempted to overthrow the government.
Well yeah, since when is Hamas a threat to America?
Maybe you can ask /r/conservative. Those snowflakes were frothing from their mouths at this headline.
Y'all Quaeda.
The title is 100% correct. The FBI rated homegrown terrorism from radicalized right wing a bigger threat way back under the Bush regime, even. And of course the cons got all butthurt about this simple fact.
Bit of a weird comparison
They're responding to this
Ah alright. In the context it makes more sense, it just hadn't occurred me to make such comparison
“Has the White House considered the possibility that a terrorist could be in the country right now after crossing the southern border?”
What a bullshit question. The core question is valid, “Has the White House considered the possibility that a terrorist could be in the country right now."
But the rest is a bullshit political talking point, “...after crossing the southern border?”
As if we only have one method for a terrorist to get in. Nevermind the northern border, the shores, air flights, and then the truly scary threat that the terrorists were born here and are citizens. But, screw all that, WhAt AbOUt tHe MeXiCaNs!?
This framing shows that the asker has more interest in building support for a Republican talking point into the coming elections than giving a shit about terrorist threats within our borders (all of them).
This article was barely about the headline. It was far worse and I'm actually afraid of 2024
MAGA is the last breath of the religious right.
No it is not, not by a long shot.
They currently control the lower house in the legislature and the Speaker of the House, 2nd in line for the presidency, is a lunatic that is one of the the worst.
They also control the Supreme Court. The fact that all it took for one geriatric woman to die is all it took for them to overturn over 50 years of reproductive rights for women in the U.S.
To paraphrase Tom Clancy: These fucking lunatics are a clear and present danger to everyone in the United States. They will not go away any time soon.
Yes.
What the fuck is this comment lol
Demonstrably so, yes.
Wasn't enough to get banned from World News? It's cool, I can do this all day.
It honestly worries me how many people roll their eyes when you say this. When it's blatantly fucking obvious. Where are all the patriots to scream " THE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE IS THERE FOR A FUCKIN REASON"
They truly unironically believe that America is a Christian nation and intended to be one by the founding fathers. I don't know how they believe something with such a massive contradiction as if that's the case why is separation of church and state something the founding fathers included. Doesn't have to make sense to people living in reality.
That's just the thing- they've got church-funded groups churning out historical revisionism in which the Framers were really trying to found a Biblical version of Sparta but the wicked usurpers got power and ruined it with their War of Northern Aggression
Reality? LOL they're trying to replace reality with their version, which tells you to bend your contemporary knee to them
They also act like the founders are gods whose supposed wishes need to be followed unquestioningly forever.
The red scare propaganda really didn't help by putting, "In God we trust," on the dollar bill and the, "[one nation,] under God," part in the pledge allegiance.
Because MAGAs deny they've aligned themselves with religious extremists because Gregg who goes to church every Sunday likes football and guns so he's probably not a fascist.
When I say that I'm called a gay liberal commie.
It helps if you have a southern accent while you say it. " oh so you just wanna give the state more power huh? You want em to have a say in our damn RELIGION?! Your the commie friend ".
I suspect if you paraphrased or converted to more generalized language things like Sharia law and what the ChristoFascists want, they wouldn't be able to tell them apart.
