I cringe whenever this type of "Christian" compares their situation to the passion of the Christ. A crusade that Mel Gibson lit a fire under with his snuff porn film of the same name in 2004. They have turned the Christian experience into the Church of the holy martyr.

The only thing they have absorbed about Christ's life and teachings is his martyrdom. This sense of white victimhood underlies all of their extreme political positions.

They enjoy every privilege in life, yet they are obsessed with the myth that they are being oppressed.

This is what tRump taps into so masterfully. He feels their pain because beneath his strong man bullshit is a deep trough of bottomless victimhood and self pity, having nothing to do with Christianity and everything to do with mental illness< much like Hitler.

tear gassing people, choking handcuffed Samaritans and calling down his Army to crush protesters.

Oh wait! No he didn't

Good. His response is tone deaf, but he's confronting the problem in his mind. Keep the pressure on. He'll either wake the fuck up or continue to show why he shouldn't have his job.

way back in the 80's, we all knew that Milwaukee cops were violent and dangerous.

That department has a long-standing tradition of violence toward the community.

earlier. Milwaukee Cops were beating High School kids from North High after a Basketball Tourney. As some one who grew up in the Lilly White North,asked one of the North Players what the hell is that all about.

Hell of a way to learn how the System Works.
