Must watch... Shiny Happy People: A Teenage Holy War

Just out on Prime video. We’ve watched two of the three episodes, and it’s a must see for anyone who wants to understand how the religious right got so crazy, and what liberals are up against.

I also couldn’t help noticing that the Teen Mania events bear a striking resemblance to the Charlie Kirk TPUSA blowouts of recent years —

Maybe the TPUSA organization will end up $5M in the hole as well??!

Thanks for posting, calguy

These thing happened mostly after I left the faith.
But the seeds of it was happening while I was still a Christian.
