How can they win?

By getting us to flail over endless individual crimes while missing the big picture.

Everything is connected. Canada, pardoning J6 terrorists, Panama Canal, ICE, Indigenous Americans, Hegseth, LGBTQ+, eating cats, salutes, etc.

All gasoline on smoldering White Nationalism.

Then they force an economic collapse. A nation of starving people with no healthcare and no hope does not resist. It turns to the self-proclaimed, christian-endorsed savior as the only way out.

"I alone can fix it ... with MY well-armed regional nazis and MY prosecution-immune law enforcement."

Here we are on the precipice staring at a tsunami of evil the US has never seen nor contemplated. What do we do?

Do we sit next to Winston, head down, at The Ministry of Truth, or do we ready ourselves as one and fight a battle that only ends with the utter destruction of one side or the other?

The reason we had so many overreaching regulations in our nation is because the church complied. The church is supposed to direct the government. The government is not meant to direct the church. That is not how our Founding Fathers intended it. And I’m tired of this separation of church and state junk, that’s not in the Constitution. It was in a stinking letter and it means nothing like what they say it does.

REP. MAXWELL FROST

This threat to democracy has made its way to Congress. My colleague, Representative Lauren Boebert, said quote: 'The church is supposed to direct the government. The government is not supposed to direct the church. I'm tired of this separation of church and state junk.”

That junk being the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

The Bible itself in II Corinthians actually warns against this, Paul warned against this. He warned us against people who would preach of a Christ that differs from the true Christ that we learn about in the Bible. That’s exactly what christian nationalism is doing. I condemn religious extremism everywhere, globally and domestically, and we have to recognize. the threat it poses to out most sacred freedoms and rooted out everywhere.

It’s incumbent especially on us as christians, me as a christian, to be at the forefront of the fight to make sure white nationalism and christian nationalism doesn’t see the light of day.

Whether the mask is labeled fascism, democracy, or dictatorship of the proletariat, our great adversary remains the apparatus—the bureaucracy, the police, the military. Not the one facing us across the frontier of the battle lines, which is not so much our enemy as our brothers’ enemy, but the one that calls itself our protector and makes us its slaves. No matter what the circumstances, the worst betrayal will always be to subordinate ourselves to this apparatus and to trample underfoot, in its service, all human values in ourselves and in others.

As long as "security" continues to justify the banning and dispersion of demonstrations, assemblies, and encampments, it serves the decimation of democratic rights and democracy itself. Only a broad-based mobilization—a form of embodied and transnational courage, we might say—will successfully defeat xenophobic nationalism and the various alibis that now threaten democracy.
