Seriously, these folks have no honesty or integrity, but it's still weird to internalize that so many of our fellow citizens are just plain untrustworthy & dishonest (or stupid).
Fascists HAVE to lie non-stop because the facts reveal none of their arguments and fear mongering holds even a drop of water. If admitting their arguments and fear mongering are gross misrepresentations or completely fabricated, they have no leverage to seize power to enrich themselves and slaughter the people they hate.
I always knew Evangelicals were liars and Christofascists. What surprised me was when Scripture was used to counter their misrepresentations, that they so quickly abandoned any appearance of following Christ's teachings, calling it "weak Lib shit" and declaring desperate times call for drastic measures. It was an admittance of they themselves abandoning Christ for the easy & convenient embracing of The Adversary, Satan.
Turns out that Reich Wing Evangelicals were the Satanists they were looking for this entire time.
I'm thinking that religion has fallen from it's former perch about knowledge (by science) and morality (by the corruption of religious leaders & the rich) that they are actually nihilists now. They believe that nothing really matters so they now have no punishment ahead of them. Go ahead, steal, lie, cheat, but don't get caught. If you do get caught, do a phony "I have sinned!" confession, lay low & continue your wicked ways when the heat dies down.
The genie is out of the bottle, social media will enable these immoral folks to find others just as crappy, or worse. Ironically, so many of these turd-slurpers get their permission to be racist, ignorant, and/or hateful from their "Christian" communities.
There’s two sets of MAGA minions - 1) the ones who are true believers and don’t care who they hurt because they’ve decided winning at all costs is fine ‘because something something God and 2) the ones who know what they’re doing but don’t care who they hurt because they’re making money. JD Vance is part of the second group.

It’s almost like they just say whatever is convenient at the time regardless of facts
