It’s easy to roll one’s eyes as the self-serving dramatics of MAGA voters using false claims of victimhood as cover for their ugly views. But, as the threatening language in Greene’s tweet shows, this “woe is us” act is deeply dangerous. The hyperbolic conspiracy theories and dehumanizing language serve to convince Republican voters that religious liberty and democracy are simply values they can no longer afford to hold. The message is Christians are so “under siege” that the only way to fight back is by stripping everyone else of basic rights.

    I’ve just never seen something like this, where an argument is self-refuted before it even says anything…

    Remember when the flat earthers made a documentary to prove their theory, but by using their OWN SCIENCE they proved its round? Lmao

      I do, but this tops that…

      The documentary ended on screwing up its own point, Ben Shaprio disproved his comedy movie’s argument before he even wrote the script, yet did it anyway.
