"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."- Lyndon B. Johnson
It's true. This is why the right has pivoted so hard into their culture war as their motivating issue. They wholeheartedly believe that if you are a straight white Christian you are fundamentally better than people who are not any of those things and historically American society has validated that belief. They see that changing and they feel threatened by it.
He validates their ignorance and racism/bigotry. They've always known they're ignorant racist bigots, he just went ahead and gave them permission to feel proud of it.
"See, what he actually meant was..."That describes Sam Harris fanboys far more than Slug Virus.

Even if you gave me a bookwork of good arguments of why people should vote for him I will never in my life understand how a woman could vote for a guy who was literally recorded saying that grab them by the pussy shit. He dehumanized you and you still vote for him? Like you could be the biggest KKK racist in the USA, he still also thinks you are subhuman.
A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent (1 Timothy 2:11-12).
It's so crazy that people are willing to get fucked over in every way as long as they are validated as the best "race".Our monkey brains are really malleable that way, and we need to be better than that.
Our monkey brains are really malleable that way, and we need to be better than that.Pretty hilarious they talk about race in the first place. Even the purest of us, whatever the fuck that means, are mutts.
For curiositys sake, do you have a list of all the horrible passages like this in the Bible that modern Christians want to pretend dont exist? Would be a useful resource to be able to draw upon.I've seen Skeptic's Bible referenced in arguments for lists from the Bible.

Or, to put it more concisely:Yep.
