@scott_m_coley end/ Some see the writing on the wall. @UniteThePoor, four years ago: "...an extremist religious and Christian nationalist agenda deliberately diverts attention from the key issues and challenges facing the majority of Americans..." So, how's the historical trend shaping up?

"Only in the posthumously published letters of Gershom Scholem have I come across the same note of helpless clear- sightedness and warning. Over and over, even prior to 1933, my father labored to warn, to alert, to waken to refuge not only those whom he and my mother had left behind in Prague or Vienna, but the French political-military establishment with which his international dealings had brought him into contact. His "pessimism," his "alarmist prognostications" elicited only officious dismissal or hostility. Family and friends refused to move. One could come to reasonable terms with Herr Hitler. The unpleasantness would soon pass. The age of pogroms was over. In diplomatic and ministerial circles, my father was regarded as a tedious Cassandra, prone to well-known traits of Jewish hysteria.” - George Steiner
@scott_m_coley @UniteThePoor 2/ The threat posed, not only to church and country, but universal and planetary, too. Indeed, religious fascism, a raging, global phenomenon, just now. As such, we should hardly be surprised a coherent response involves transcendent political intervention at the planetary level.
