I've been following most of the talking points in this article. This might be the best article to summarize the hell we're in that I've read so far.
As someone who lives in South Dakota, I see my state in this article even though it's not directly referenced, and I don't like it.
Honestly, I’m kind of scared. How does roughly half the US garner so much hatred for the “other,” those different from them? It’s always been there, but it’s way more widespread than I thought. These so-called Christians can go to hell if they profess to go against their Jesus’ teachings.
It's less than half, as can be seen by popular vote counts. Still higher than it should be, but if it wasn't for voter suppression (as laid out in the article) the right would have significantly less power than it currently does.
At the moment, the voting-age American public seems to be split into pretty even thirds, with one third being slavering fascists, one third being generally opposed to the first third, and a final third who are either totally apathetic or steadfastly refuse to acknowledge any difference between the other two thirds.
