“Americans must learn to adjust to a lower standard of living,” he told the crowd before suggesting a specific solution to prices hiked by his tariffs, which he continues to insist are a success. “You can give up certain products. You can give up pencils…You don’t need 37 dolls for your daughter. Two or three is nice.”
But they’re all voting Republican again, because Brown Peepulz!
Don’t forgit us nasty non god botherers.
Yep, I think that’s a factor too. I remember telling some bible-banger the stats on the drop-off in xtianity back in the mid-00s, and he didn’t believe me. I just casually mentioned that about 80% or just under are xtians in America, and dropping. He claimed it was more like 95+%, LOL. I sent him some links, showing how it was trending down by about 1% per year, and he practically broke out in a sweat, visibly, talking about it ever after that.
He was in a real spiral over xtians not being the majority at some future point.
Gee, I wonder why that is? No one is going to take his little book club away. The real concern is not having his views being constantly centered every day, with xtians being given special treatment and politicians constantly wearing their xtianity on their sleeves (he called Democrats “Demoncrats” but pretty much all of them are xtian as well and will tell you so at every opportunity) and so on.
I wonder how people like him are dealing with xtianity now hovering in the low 60s. I suspect that white panic and xtian panic is a driving force for a lot of the worst impulses of conservatism…
It’s also because their fathers father voted red, yada yada. They don’t want to break tradition by using facts and science.
