You will never convince me that shit like this is more than just performative play-acting for the sake of their base.
They aren't actually fucking praying. They don't actually believe any of this shit. It's a tool used to keep the support of their base of white christian nationalists.
That's why we see them doing shit like this now than every before.
In a world where more liberal minded Christians are balking at how "unchristian" these idiots are turning out to be, they have to make these shows louder and more obvious...and make damn sure there's a camera around, so that they can play even harder to the more extreme supporters.
If they were to quietly go about their business with no "performative acts of faith", more people would recognize them as the monsters they are.
But with shit like this, 81 year old grandparents the country over can look at them and say "I don't understand what they're doing, but they MUST be the good guys because look how christian they are..."
If anyone thinks America is getting out of this without resorting to firing squads and hanging these fuckers upside down in town squares, they're naive as fuck.
The bible also says to take care of the poor and a bunch of other stuff they actively work against.
The poor stakeholders you mean?
Exactly. But performative acts like this play to their base. And their base is almost exclusively people who haven't read the very book they profess to follow.
Most athielsts (myself included) have read more of the bible than any of these people ever have.
