    So that goes along with their decision that the CDC doesn’t have authority to prevent mass disease, starvation, sanitary issues, and death by allowing “landlords” to take advantage of a pandemic for profit.

    Funny how the FDA still has the authority to say a plant has no therapeutic use despite 12 millennia of documented history as a therapeutic, and an overwhelming scientific consensus.

    See, this is why I don’t follow these things. The absurdity just angers me.

        Interesting take. Russia doesn’t count? As I understand it, most of the power rests with the Russian Orthodox church. Not just in terms of land ownership, but also social norms. (e.g. anti-lgbt sentiment) Do I have that wrong?

            Well either way I think it’s more of a reclamation than descendence. USA was founded on protestantism. Still, something else is different. I think before it was true believers whereas now it is more just opportunist dynastic hegemony. I don’t feel like cristofascist captures all that.

                Nah. You’re missing a lot from afar it seems. The factual history is that the religious voting bloc was targeted by opportunists. There is no question about that, it is documented history.
