    Republicans offer nothing but culture war shit. They absolutely know Democrats are to the right of freedom-and-democracy . But they are playing the anti China part of the 3rd Red Scare while Dems play the anti Russia part and both are partaking in the [2nd Lavender]( scare (active / passive).

    They are exploiting American ignorance and stroking historical previous Red Scare / Cold War indoctrination for the over 50s crowd.

    The Red Scares were never about Crapitalism vs Cummunism. It was about different nations clashing over the world’s resources, but that would never fly in the public mind spoken out loud. That was all a front, but it gave cover for the disgusting domestic and foriegn policies such as The Jakarta Method, Vietnam War, Hollywood Blacklisting, Hayes Code, demonizing queer people in public life, and McCarthyism.

    So they paint the opposition as ooga booga scary Mao CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY COMMIE COMMIE COMMIE! WHERE’S MY AUKUS MONEY JOE?!

    They know the actual left knows they’re full of shit and that’s the real twisted part of these political hacks - they study and know very much every aspect of the actual target of theri demonization of things, but they hold the American public with such calous contempt they will willingly lie to manufacture consent for their major bribers. They know exactly who they are harming, why they are harming, and they just do not care because minorities aren’t majorities and caculated collateral damage. Plus if you can toss around commie or Marxist or Maoist to anything you don’t like, it further brainwashes the frothingfash ignorant masses to automatically put their brains down and choose you aginst the hedons as god’s chosen warrior!

    They know the public is largely ignorsnt about matters that don’t concern them and they exploit it to the hilt.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Render_unto_Caesar

    The original message, coming in response to a question of whether it was lawful for Jews to pay taxes to Caesar, gives rise to multiple possible interpretations about the circumstances under which it is desirable for Christians to submit to earthly authority.

    All three synoptic gospels state that hostile questioners tried to trap Jesus into taking an explicit and dangerous stand on whether Jews should or should not pay taxes to the Roman authorities. The accounts in Matthew 22:15–22 and Mark 12:13–17 say that the questioners were Pharisees and Herodians, while Luke 20:20–26 says only that they were “spies” sent by “teachers of the law and the chief priests”.

    The Tribute Money, by Peter Paul “Pee Wee” Rubens (1610–1615)

    They anticipated that Jesus would oppose the tax, as their purpose was “to hand him over to the power and authority of the governor”. The governor was Pilate, and he was the man responsible for the collecting of taxes in Roman Judea. Initially the questioners flattered Jesus by praising his integrity, impartiality, and devotion to truth. Then they asked him whether or not it is right for Jews to pay the taxes demanded by Caesar. In the Gospel of Mark[3] the additional, provocative question is asked, “Should we pay or shouldn’t we?”

    Jesus first called them hypocrites, and then asked one of them to produce a Roman coin that would be suitable for paying Caesar’s tax. One of them showed him a Roman coin, and he asked them whose head and inscription were on it. They answered, “Caesar’s,” and he responded: “Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s”.
