@Snowshadow @Sustainable2050 The #US is now completely isolated with no allies nor trade partners, ruled by an aging #despot. 75 million liberals stuck together in a shithole with 77 million white male #snowflakes and #christofascists and another 12 million white people who are 'confused'. We have computers, chemical plants, pickup trucks, #protestant churches, golf courses, and #Disneyland. We had 41,000 gun deaths in 2024 and 31,000 injuries, 5,200 of the deaths were children and teenagers.

@DemocracyMattersALot The origin of the #Trump coalition stems from the #Reagan #Southern strategy on the heels of #LBJ resignation following the Civil Rights Act. It is amazing how quickly and effectively white #Protestant churches saturated the #South since the Civil War and it is no coincidence the #South is Trump country.

Something many Americans choose not to know about the Nazi period in Germany:

Hitler rose to power with the strong support of large numbers of German Christian leaders. Hitler came to power in a nation that was 95% Christian (63% Lutheran, 32% Catholic).

Pastors and priests whose sermons were considered in any way critical of the Nazi regime were reported to the authorities by people sitting in church to listen, to spy, to report.

If you Americans think we are not there now in our own time and place, if we think this could only have happened in Germany in the 1930s, then we're not seeing what's going on in our country now — with Christians leading the charge.

Bonhoeffer stated, by the way, that in the time he spent at Union Seminary in New York, he found the Black church in the US alive, spiritually profound, biblically faithful — but he found the white Christian churches in the US the opposite. He took back to Germany the inspiration he received from the Black church in the US and that was one of his guiding lights as he spoke out against the Nazis.

Just as Bishop Mariann Budde is now being attacked for speaking out.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was imprisoned and executed for speaking (and acting) against the German state as a Lutheran leader. In Austria, the lay Catholic Franz Jäggerstätter was imprisoned for refusing to enlist in the army because his conscience did not permit him to support the Nazis. Jäggerstätter was executed.

Protestant church leaders especially welcomed Hitler as a manly man anointed by God — they actually said and wrote this — who would purify the German nation and make it strong and manly again.

And what many Americans also choose not to know: when a very few courageous and faithful Christians chose to speak out, they were ruthlessly attacked by both the German state under Hitler and by their fellow German Christians.

@KimPerales Never before in white #American history have white #Ken and #Karen parents and grandparents tried to control their descendants to this extent. It used to be wealthy business executives would send their kids to Phillips-Exeter then the Ivy League. Now every white #Protestant muggle sends their kids to #Christian Academy then #Hillsdale University building a country full of white #christofascists who don't know how to do anything except scream on #YouTube.

@anneapplebaum

It’s important to give this situation more attention. #Russia is systematically terrorizing, persecuting, torturing, and murdering any cleric, congregation, or individual who belongs to a #Christian church not under the Moscow Patriarchate.
