The way they justify tricking the voters if they were ever being honest is that, in the service of God and whatever they psychotically believe is the only way to live one’s life, any and all tactics are justified. This is how we got the fucking crusades. Why can’t more people see this?

Not sure if you can access this, but story is on Littleton, NH and how an understated gay rights mural on a building unleashed a fury, mostly led by a totally homophobic woman who used her religion to discriminate and spew pretty hateful stuff. It's just gross.

I love that - 'high asshole quotient'. Yes, it's a cultural thing. They encourage it. 'Live free or die' could have a benevolent meaning, but it could also be the motto for a sociopath.

It is my Canadian-born husband's evocative phrase, he is ususally very subtle, in his snark.
Gotta love Canadians! 🇨🇦
I sure do! except the right-wingers.
