A taste of the christofascist response to Rittenhouse's arrest...
Right wing poster on the Hill:
"A 17 year old kid dropped 3 domestic terrorist, two of them while He was on the ground being attacked."
Kyle Rittenhouse is a race hero to conservatives in the country.

Latest from the Trumper Extended Family Facebook Front:
The racists are concerned Biden has a racist past...and are puzzled why the minority community would vote for him and not the real racist.
I am paraphrasing but you get the drift.

Just a little peek into the christofascist approach to smearing Kamala Harris...
I quote from a The Hill comment: "At least Kanye is African-American.. and his family did not own slaves."

"Many Americans Are Convinced Crime Is Rising In The U.S. They're Wrong"
The consequences of christofascist fearmongering and scapegoating. From the article:
In other words, we feel the risk of crime more acutely. We are certain crime is rising when it isnt; convinced our risk of victimization is higher than it actually is. And in a summer when the president is sending federal agents to crack down on crime in major cities and local politicians are arguing over the risks of defunding the police, that disconnect matters. In an age of anxiety, crime may be one of our most misleading fears.
