About Alito's "Appeal To Heaven" Flag

" George W. Bush has been only the most recent president who has used religious factions to gain support for his policies and objectives."

"National Socialism was a religion," noted Professor George Mosse of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, whose wealthy Jewish family fled Germany in 1933. "The depth of the ideology, the liturgy, the element of hope, all helped to give the movement the character of a new faith. It has been shown that Goebbels quite consciously used religious terminology in many of his speeches. Moreover, Nazism was a total worldview which by its very nature excluded all others. From this it followed that traditional Christianity was a rival not a friend. But here Hitler at first went very slowly indeed, for he needed (and got) the support of the majority of the Christian churches."

"Mosse concluded that "the Nazi future would have lain with the Evangelical Christians had the war been won."

Calling him Satan. They can't have the leader of a religion making statements like, welcome the immigrant, love your neighbor.

Traditional religion is the enemy of the fascists.

He could literally fly a Nazi flag and be a grand wizard in the KKK and there is nothing that could be done about it. SCOTUS justices are like gods, they have no rules to follow and cannot realistically be removed. And this is the Republican Party, he could literally be on film murdering school children and they'd still want him on the bench because he helps them own the Libs and pass laws that curtail individual freedoms.

The fascist judge Eh-Lean Cannon protects TSF from prosecution and the fascist Supreme Court protects TSF from prosecution.

Fani Willis was a hope but I believe the fascist Georgia politicians will remove her from office, protecting TSF from prosecution.

Not 1 coup plotter has been indicted by the Feds other than TSF, and he is being protected.
