THE REAL THREAT (TO AMERICA)…

Yesterday's column by Paul Krugman in the New York Times ends with:

“America was viciously attacked 20 years ago. But even then, the call that mattered was coming from inside the house. The real threat to all this nation stands for is coming not from foreign suicide bombers but from our own right wing.”

Yup. Krugman got that right!

The New Puritans are not interested in suffering anyone who disagrees with them.

Our ancestors were mostly better.
 
The failure to demand accountability...which in part means that you pay each time that you are wrong....has a lot to do with why the West is circling the drain.

Whenever I ask about the suffering, I get answers that everything is fantastic. There does seem to be a lot of self imposed suffering in the alt right, but there is also a lot more denial.
 
Religious*Quacks. Right-wing or Islamic, both are a problem for America. Both want a Theocracy, both want their Religious (Sharia) Law to dominate Society.

But in America, jihadists are a tiny minority while evangelical conservatives are a massive plague that makes covid look like the sniffles.

True.
Both groups use different tactics.

I can visualize a 'Christian Republic of America' before I can see a 'Islamic Republic of America', but either prospect is terrifying.

I'm actually OK with a Christian Republic of America that doesn't include New England, New York, or the West Coast.
I've actually reached the point where I don't believe the 50-state American configuration will ever be viable again.

You must be the epitome of the NEW PURITANS!

Because you expect everyone to agree with you, and you show no respect for those who do not.

Yes, we are all buckled up for your "The Sky is Falling" theme Chicken Little.

And yes, you warn us in all of your posts that the sky is falling for you- in your mind- because Donald Trump was not re-elected.

We understand that you think the world centers around you and your negative opinions of your world without a Donald Trump to lead you.

NEXT!
