There is a real possiblity that our leaders are not acting in a material fashion. They're acting irrationally. And this is why you see shit about sacrificing cows and starting the rapture and stuff like that coming out. They actually believe this. And that concerns me.
It's one thing to deal with, hey, they're doing this for profit, hey, they're doing this because this is what capitalism does. It's another thing to contend with hardline, devout evangelicals.
The newest crop of conservative officials aren't wise to the real rules of the game. They drank the Kool aid.
There's kinda a funny historical parallel at play here with the Nazis. Hitler cynically used anti semitism to gain power. The next crop of nazis were quite sincere in it. Guys like Eichmann etc.
Damn I hadn't even considered that, that's an incredibly disturbing possibility. Fuck religion.
