Anyone notice how many news stories nowadays start with "Republicans block or halt or shut down or remove something.... They aren't doing anything... Just keeping anyone else from doing anything
People are probably getting sick of me saying this by now, but of course Republicans aren't doing anything, this is their philosophy. Their core beliefs are in conserving traditional hierarchies and norms. God over man, men over women and children, white over black, rich over poor, cis-het over LGBT people and other hierarchies.
Their actions are best understood through the lens of conservative philosophy and the maintenance or restoration of socio-economic hierarchies.
To achieve their goals, they really only need to do a few things legialativly,
- Stop progress and change
- Rollback change
You see 1 all the time, they dont even need to be in power to do it. They just need to get in the way. If they get power, you see 2, and since they're trying to rollback generational change, not even decades old precedent is safe (see Roe vs. Wade).
The best part is that they got us fighting each other so much. They’ve managed to divide us across whatever line you can think of.
All of this is a distraction. While racism and sexism absolutely exist, they fortunately aren’t the cornerstones of our hierarchies anymore. Thats great, but now we have a caste system, and nobody wants to acknowledge it.
And then Jesus said: "White power sieg heil! " - The Bible according to you
He's just explaining conservative ideology
Seems clear to me that my explanation covers pretty well the reasons white power groups and orthodox/conservative Christians are right wing. They aren't the same groups, necessarily, but they both want to conserve their respective hierarchies.
You can't call them "Christians". They are just racists with a Bible in their hand.
They're not real Christians! /s
Yes and Russia and China are democracies because they said so.
The Bible is pretty clear on racism and feeding the poor etc.
Learn your fallacies.
It's not that people disagree with you about the hypocrisy here, but rather that you're being a real cockface about every interaction you're having.
They are just racists with a Bible in their hand.
I grew up in churches around religious people, you just described 99% of "Christians" in the American South.
Moses recieved the 10 commandments from Mt Sinai, notably among them being "thou shalt not kill" immediately after massacring an entire army and then immediately went to war and wiped out an entire nation in a genocide.
And thats in the Bible.
The only good Christian, by Christians' own admission, was Christ himself.
I'm not gonna defend the entire Bible here but that story was about Amalek, a specific people not humanity in general. Also they had some voodoo stuff in there about them transforming into animals. It was kinda out there.
The water of the sea drowning the Pharaos army chasing the israelites doesn't seem like a moral dilemma to me.
The not killing part refers to not just killing anyone or stealing their stuff etc. Actual self defense is fine.
You can focus on the few war stories but I know a bunch of good Christians who have adopted kids, feed the poor and do a lot of charity stuff etc. The actual good stuff.
Considering their whole M.O. is regression or conservation of the status quo, that's not surprising
That's all they ever do when Democrats are in control. So annoying
Democrats suck ass and do the same thing. Two parties my ass. It's a game and we're the pawns.

If you want to be "the party of no" you can't allow things to happen.
It could be that. It could also be where you're getting your headlines from.
