Submitted for your consideration. I think this is an excellent read and a useful perspective.
"Eagle Pass, TexasResidents of the border town at the center of an ongoing feud between Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and the Biden administration made it clear over the weekend that the only people they see as invaders in their community are the 14 Republican governors and a convoy of Christian nationalists calling themselves Gods Army.
There has been an invasion, but Im not talking about the immigrants. The invasion is from Governor Abbott and his political rhetoric, said Juanita Martinez, an Eagle Pass resident and chair of the Maverick County Democratic Party, on Friday outside the Maverick County Courthouse."

(7,401 posts)Im generally not a fan of superstitious mysticism, but I have studied it in detail in various countries throughout my life.
These people are lost and crazy. Abbot and his murderous minions run a cult based in violent Christianity the other side of the Glory of God crap that has cursed our species since the Old Days. It is neither loving nor kind. Instead, it is primal and insane.
It worships the Other not as a deity, but as a means to power. Hitler was one of many, not unusual in any way except scope. Its all the same.
These people are not American in any way; they clothe themselves in patriotic fervor tinged with ancient brain chemistry, and carry out rituals written into their DNA without thought or reason.
Weve got a long way to go. I wish some of these Christians would wake up and realize how close to the original reptile they are. Fear the Other! Cast Out The Unbelieving Of Different Color!
Im living in dark scifi. Same old, same old.
My grandmother was a Christian, and a good one feed the hungry, and love the children.
These prehumans in Texas and around the country are all about judging the hungry and making the child fearful.
They dont fool me. Reptiles.
