At least in Margaret Atwood’s novel the radical religious terrorists used guns to overthrow our government.
In the real version we’re literally electing them to office. I feel that not enough folks read The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.
They’re taking over state and local legislatures, councils and boards.
Christian Nationalists and Dominionists are absolutely a threat to our democracy.
They’ve had this plan for decades and now they’re enacting it. This is a clear and present danger.
@bleakfuture I really dislike being "that" person...but, I'm going to be that person...
In the book, the radicalized religious nutters had actually taken over local elected offices first. Including the Presidency, and he dismissed Congress on the grounds of National Security, which allowed him to declare martial law.
Which actually makes what's happening now, even more distressing. 😖
@julescelt01 I appreciate you being that person. There’s no shame in being correct if you’re kind about - which you are.
I haven’t read it in 26 years so the show gets mixed in my head.
My daughter and I are doing a podcast about banned books in school libraries and this is the first book we’re reading.
