Great, more bad news about some of the worst people in American history gaining more traction, money and followers despite their hateful, hypocritical, idiotic rhetoric! I don't care if these people want to go to church and pray every hour of their life, but why oh why do they feel the need to constantly impose their worldview on everyone else? I don't hate any of these people the way they hate me, I don't care enough about them to hate them. But it's like they can't stand that other people want to live their lives in different ways and they feel compelled to force people to live in ways they don't want (no abortion, no church and state separation etc). But when you try to do the same thing to them, with public health in mind where EVERYONE is actually impacted by the way they choose to live their lives, they lose their minds and say things like "mandates are like the nazis!" I just don't understand the psychology of believing others need to do what you want, but not the other way around. I would never think to ask or tell someone to do something they didn't want just because that's what I want, especially if I wasn't willing to do it myself. And yet, this is how they approach life. Why can't they just live and let live?

"the time for civility is over,” he said last month), encouraged people to “arm up” against the “tyranny” of “mask mandates and vaccine passports,”

How is any of this evidence of "faith"? And if it is, what faith/religion is it?

Sigh.
