Graydon

@glook @WarnerCrocker There's been a two generation effort to replace the basis of legitimacy. (Out with constitutionality, in with theocracy.)

What we're seeing is most of the state aparat (at least the armed parts) moving to being open about constructing legitimacy based on theocracy.

Since it's a white-supremacist theology that (necessarily) does community by exclusion (no civil anything!), it's a divine imperative to remove non-white people from the United States by any means.

@graydon @glook I think that's largely true, although these are quite a few preteens theocrats. They talk like a theocrat, but they have trouble doing that walk. It's just another mask IMHO

@WarnerCrocker @glook I'm not sure why matters at all, compared to what.

I'd agree that the degree and type of faith varies, including a bunch of people who want the primate band status and don't care about the means. I'd also point out that the folks on the supreme court are notionally reasoning from divine kingship rationalizations, so there's going to be feedback that rewards the theological justifications.

(The universe doesn't have a moral arc. Its contents are subject to selection.)

@graydon @glook Opium doesn't just work for the masses. It works for those in control too.
