Summary

Donald Trump, who attended the national prayer service following his inauguration, and his allies attacked Episcopal Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde after her sermon criticized his treatment of marginalized communities.

Trump called her a "Radical Left Trump hater" and criticized her sermon as "boring" and "nasty."

Fox News and GOP Rep. Mike Collins joined in, with Collins absurdly calling for her deportation.

Critics noted the hypocrisy in Trump’s selective embrace of religion, celebrating faith only when it aligns with his political agenda, and warned of the Streisand Effect amplifying Budde's message.

What do you think they're building the camps for?

To explain the above comment:

The concentration camps were meant for undesirables.

They wanted those undesirables gone. At first it was fine if they left the country on their own. Then it became tricky, because the undesirables without somewhere to go, or because they were initially mistakenly lead to believe that they were "an exception" to being undesirable, couldn't leave. So they got sent to deportation camps, indefinitely (sound familiar anyone?)

These camps weren't cheap, they so they used them for slave labor a little. But slaves need some food and care to be useful, and that shit gets expensive, so the disabled, sick, particularly mouthy dissenters were just killed.

Unfortunately, fascists don't operate on logic, they operate on power. So expect that running may be an option, but defending yourself might be a necessary alternative. Don't believe that they have anyone they will protect other themselves, and only so long as they don't feel threatened from within.

Fascism means might equals right. I guess it's going to take some kind of "Night of the Long Knives" scenario in order for people to truly grok this.

A "night of the long knives" is inevitable. He pulled something similar the first admin, just without killing anyone, sacking those he saw obstructing him.
