in the 70s, we had to go to church every day, prayer before breakfast ...
There is NOTHING about this modern political version of religion that I was exposed to then.
The problem is this ...
The 80s saw the strategical political radicalization of the evangelicals.
The 90s saw the turn to to where the republicans used religion to cull bigotry and spin it into their victimization.
There was some exposure to the disconnect between what Christianity has mostly been about and how it was being spun politically.
At the same time, primarily driven by republican messaging, this country is now a quarter century into this projection thing, where everyone is obsessed with personal responsibility - more accurately what they expect OTHERS to be responsible for, while using whatever wild eyes thing they can grab at justify their NOT being responsible.
I guess what I am saying is, I witnessed this bullshit being spun in the 90s and was mystified why it was accepted then.
25 years later,it remains and in fact remains UNCHALLENGED.
We might see it clear as day.
But, republicans have been in their shit for so long, this is what they KNOW. There is going to be no convincing them, like every other bullshit the party has spun, it is their reality.
And, the rest of the country is operating as such a distracted and self intersted level, they just burp and tend to take what the republicans push because they scream it so virulently.
