Thanks for this. You have clarified the power of how the Republicans, and the religious right, have transformed politics into a crusade. Democrats are no longer the opposition, they are evil. That's what we saw at judge Brown's confirmation. Democrats are not just liberals, they are perverts and child molesters.

We saw this again in Ginni Thomas' messages during the January 6 insurrection. This is a "religious war."

This is the same message that Putin is giving the Russian people. It is all to maintain the power, glory, and money of the leaders and their rich supporters.

As you know, it is very difficult to pierce the bubble.
