If you REALLY want to have a social thing happen, don't just prevent the alternative, highlight what they want.
But all these "christians" do is embrace the party of NO and Racism.

I think part of the issue is that Fox News, et al, have told people that Minneapolis, Seattle and Portland have simply been burned to the ground and there's nothing left. My dad - who lives here in MA - tried explaining to me that my friends that live in Portland don't really know what's going on there, but he does. I was flabbergasted.I gotta little bit of smoke and a whole lotta wine...

Then it gets framed in the "crime/unrest" is the reason businesses and people are "leaving" when in reality it has more to do with the astronomical rent, the growing desire for remote work (both on the business and employee side) and because as people age and have families they just tend to prefer the city less.

"The city is burning" and "the city is crime-infested" are just more dog whistles. We know what conservatives are doing when they say these things.
After all is said and done, every conservative message can be boiled down to two things: racism and religious fanaticism. In each instance, the leaders laugh at their supporters as they spread this poison. The leaders are educated and wealthy and don't share these bigotries at all. They are simply the tools the rich use to radicalize their victims to the point where they will be suicide bombers. Hitherto, the bombing was voting. Since 1/6 they may have inaugurated the next more literal phase.Last edited by Kepler; 07-13-2021, 11:05 AM.Cornell University

And it's also NOT about religion. Unless that's worshiping money. God has nothing to do with this. Their jesus hoards money, and hates people that are different.
