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.

    And the sad sick truth is, the Christians are the the only ones NOT really under siege at all and the only ones who seem not affected by any of the crimes they keep screaming about, which are all fictitious anyway. It’s quite glaringly obvious taht Chrstianity always equals Falsehood.
