Right, like I said, we can question a lot of things related to COVID, but that's a separate topic from the claim that Christians are/Christianity is under attack. Lockdowns were not a) implemented by only Dems and b) not directed at Christians.
I'm waiting for an example of what Dems are preventing Christians from doing, that they believe they should be able to do, or an example of what Dems are forcing Christians to do, that they don't want to do, to demonstrate the "attack".

why should churches have been closed though.
why an exception for anything?
allowing Walmart to stay open is obvious proof of the fascist intention of lockdown..
lockdown was bigger businesses way to eliminate competition.
the corporations used the government.
textbook fascism.
corporations are not morally pure nor above totalitarianism.

Churches were closed because they were large gatherings, but church isn't the only gathering events that were closed. All sporting events were closed.
Stores, like Walmart, were allowed to remain open because people still need to buy food, clothes and other household items.
But, again, that's a separate discussion from the so-called attack on Christians/Christianity.

how is everyone going to wallmart safer than everyone going to church?
these exceptions prove the whole thing was a lie.
like blm gatherings also being immune to covid, mysteriously.
stop being a lying douche.
and it's not a separate discussion because spirituality is also a competitor to corporate consumerism, and the fascists are also willing to shut that down.

I don't think people were any safer shopping for groceries, but one fulfilled a need (food and other goods) and the other, like a sporting events, is not a need.
The BLM protests being permitted was embarrassingly idiotic.

big box retail exceptions proved it was all scientifically a lie.
it actually concentated people at a few high traffic spots..
it was all a lie.
you people will have to come clean about all of it to ever be allowed near power again.

Spirituality has been around for centuries. I haven't seen an impact on consumer behavior.
Like I said previously, some states (probably among the most Christian/spiritual) had no lockdowns. Those same states didn't require masks. States made their own decisions. The federal government didn't force any state to lockdown. California basically self-obliterated it's economy and hundreds of businesses. If there is some grand Dem conspiracy, how would you explain probably THE most liberal state being hit the hardest while several of the most conservative states operating business as usual?

you don't want to see it.
if corporations can make people purely materialistic, they will always look at goods and services as the path to happiness.
buddhism is anti-shopping-addiction, for instance.

Yes, materialism/marketing/consumerism is probably at an all time high. I can buy a fucking car using my telephone and have it delivered to my house.
Yes, Buddhists don't tend to be materialistic. They have a different view of the mind and being happy/content without material goods.
I consider myself to be semi-minimalist.
What does any of that have to do with COVID or a Dem conspiracy related to church or lockdowns?
What happens is the CEO agrees to pay the board, and the board agrees to pay the CEO. Both are out of stockholders money, so in a sense, it is not a real negotiation.
The bigger problem is that stockholders do not want to pay CEOs an average salary, and get average returns. Goldman Sachs makes over $10 billion a year, so paying a CEO an extravagant pay package would really not be that much of a burden. If he can increase that revenue by 10%, that is an extra billion, making paying him $100 million seem reasonable.
And if every company's owners is insisting that their CEO gets above average compensation, the average will keep rising quickly. If the average is a million, for everyone to be above average, all the CEOs need to get two million. Then when the average is two million...
Musk has taken that a step too far. He is demanding 20% of Tesla, or basically hundreds of billions, just to not destroy Tesla.

Are you deliberately attacking my Christianity for the sole purpose of being offensive while making no other substantive point whatsoever?

Hardly - it's you National Socialist democrats who vow to "end whiteness."
Genocide is part of your party platform.
Nope.
Coercion is not part of ANY legitimate negotiation.
You should read "Man, Economy, and State." by Murray Rothbard.
I hadn't given any answer, how could it be "final?"
