MODERATORS
This should be common knowledge.
The SPLC says in its report that the “hard right” have only strengthened their resolve to undermine democratic standards in the U.S. government and promote Christian nationalist, white supremacist ideals in the years since July 4, 1776.

Why is "Threats" in double-quotes? The fact that they are "threats" is not in question - these are not "alleged threats"?
I see that it comes from the article, but that only pushes back my question as to why the article does that. It also puts "hard right" and "all-out" (and "holy war" and "race war" and "dangerous" and "evil" and "demonic" etc.) in quotes too, which should not be, but those at least are all more discretionary, whereas putting "threats" in quotes like that calls into question their validity.
Not to minimize the danger but I think it's the death throws of a group that sees their membership counts falling year over year. Religious participation is decreasing, globally, and they damn well know that.

Everyone has to vote. My neighbor said the other day flippantly I don’t do politics. WTF??? It’s not like it used to be twenty years ago. It’s like life and death now.
It was life and death 20 years ago too. Why the fuck do you think we're in this situation?
Bone apple tea?
Well sure, but let's not throe the baby out with the baptism water, eh?
Probably just not knowing how it is spelled. Which isn't the same thing as bone apple tea.
Yeah, you’re right. It was just the closest thing I could think of
Kill em all, let god sort em out.
