    Someone in another thread recommended the book “dying of whiteness” and it’s absolutely horrifying. We all know conservatives vote against their self interests. Well, they know too. Many of them know. They’re happy to die for their beliefs if it means no {slur} gets anything nice.

      This. I grew up in a MAGA incubator (aka private Christian school). These people literally believe that the world is going to end. The ONLY skin they have in the game of life is their own salvation. Many of them are in fact NOT Christians, and worship a god that forgives only them while judging everyone else.

      We give these people power and responsibility at our own peril.
