It's too early for me to definitively say "It's happening" but I agree in that the moderate right was murdered that day. A once-in-a-lifetime event has shifted the paths of millions of Americans. Undoubtedly its consequences and ripple effects will be outstanding, but in the short term it's unusually quiet. The last time this happened (1968, with Dr. King) the Holy Week Riots left lasting damage so strong that there supposedly remain sections of Baltimore to this day that have never been repaired. I've seen almost nothing major, which I would wager is because of the sheer amount of current events. Britain just had its largest protest ever. Nepal burned for a few days. The National Guard is policing major cities. I could go on. My point is that the public is overwhelmed. We don't know what to take action against. It may be a push into chaos, or it could be waiting for us to become normalized to the stress we are being put under.
I've seen that contingent as well, the people who are doubling down on their naive sense of "good", when their version of "good" requires everyone and everything they love to be murdered and destroyed.
For Christians to be saying that, means that they're completely inverting God, truth, and goodness. God is not the God of death. He is the God of life. God does not command us to lay down and die, to let our families, community, and peoples be enslaved, conquered, and killed. Abiding in truth does not lead to ruination and death, it leads to success and life. If someone's "principles" require everyone and everything they love to die, then their principles are fundamentally and abhorrently wrong. If a Christian's view of Christianity, of God, and interpretation of scripture is like that, they aren't just wrong, but have inverted God, Christ, Christianity, and the Bible to its complete antithesis.
However, I'm seeing this death cult of the "good" people dwindling fast, because regular people are seeing how utterly absurd it is to demand everyone lay down and die for their "principles". We don't want our loved ones to die. Even most normie right wingers don't want to see their loved ones murdered, which is why, in my opinion, we're seeing this shift. Regular people are seeing that no matter how milquetoast and nice we are, it'll never be enough, and our enemies want to kill all of us.
Wow.
> meaning how fighting against people is bad
Wow wow.
> weakness played off as a virtue.
"God is dead, and we have killed him."
