I appreciate that this has been happening for a long time, and it's really steamrolling now, but the Satanic Temple is still recognized by the IRS and federal court system. We're not at the endgame yet.
Yes, it’s scary to think what’s coming down the pipeline
These fuckers want their Gilead.

I think, no. But the ones who want that are really adamant. They're super pissed at the nominal progress we've made and they’re lashing out in their death throes.
They’ll make life unbearable for a lot of people but then they’ll be gone and we'll go back to the regular end game capitalism.
Is this a trick question?
Yes. Next.
Yo! That's really interesting! The idea of fascism as serving emotional needs isn't something that I've thought of before. In contrast, where he says they're being invited to inhabit a gnostic worldview, that's how I understand fascism, as a type of rhetorical discourse. But the relationship between their emotional needs and the rhetoric that satisfies those needs...that connection I hadn't made before.
Also, these people are fucking insane.

Wow, saying nothing of the politics at the time (of which I’m largely ignorant), that turned out to be very prescient indeed.
