I've written drafts of this five or six times and deleted them all.

I love your lil bullet points. I'd love even more to believe that anybody actually FEELS that any of that is true. I wish you didn't understate 'mild or catastrophic' so much when the end goal of the people who instructed ACB is an American Taliban. It really seems like the 'Y'all Qaeda' jokes have desensitized us to the reality that it describes.

So honestly, I don't know. I don't know because I don't know what is actually possible with regard to discussion on these topics. Even in this thread we have apologia for ACB already, just to give her the benefit of the doubt like we did Trump himself. We refuse to learn from history.

This actively threatens my life because a belief in Christianity now correlates to a predisposition to spreading Covid in the United States and I am especially vulnerable.

To add a last bullet point to your list, that I would ask anyone reading this to consider.

-Political Christianity is actively attempting to suborn and undermine the democratic processes of the United States and numerous other nations to force non-Christians to live according to their laws and beliefs. They are actively being enabled by constant fighting over who is and is not a 'true' christian which blurs the lines between those who simply call themselves christian and are otherwise sane and pro-social members of society, to vaguely right wing occasional republican voters, to full fledged fascists in pursuit of theocratic domination of government.

But I don't expect any of this to be heard. It's all just 'anti christian bigotry' because the name describes the entire spectrum, and any attempt to discern the 'true christian' is fruitless and stupid, doubly so for everyone who does not actively claim the title and belief structure.

I hope very badly that your Y2K prediction about election-theft is correct. I am terrified that ACB will be used to steal the election, as she was put in place to do.
