So I keep seeing people compare this to the Reichstag Fire, as a means of Trump attaining Hitlerian power.
But the result is completely opposite.
Democrat officials are calling for the expulsion of several, if not every, Republican representative. Anyone who objected to the vote ratification is looking down the barrel of whatever process the Democrats invent to 'hold them accountable'.
Everyone is calling for everyone involved to be hunted down by the FBI and jailed or killed, including people who have been wanting the police defunded this whole time.
I don't think this was a false flag, Trump Supporters definitely entered the building. But it very well may have been a trap, and if not a deliberate one, then one on which they've capitalized. I'm not going to argue taking the high road for the optics, because the events of this week haven't introduced any new characterizations to the narrative, they were already saying all these things.
If this was Reichstag, it wasn't for Trump.
I completely agree.
I am by no means atheist, although I would never dream to attempt to explain what the unknowable "God" might be.
I don't completely fault atheists for hating religion. Organized religion functions just like non-religious organizations and ends up being corrupted from within.
Yet, I will say something for the atheists reading this thread. There is a reason so many religions and cultures across history have some form of lesson or story on an endless cycle of death & rebirth/creation & destruction. Our societies may turn from God, but when the chips are down they will go crawling back.
