Alt-right conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec vowed to finish what rioters began on Jan. 6 by working to "overthrow" democracy "completely."

“Welcome to the end of democracy!” Posobiec declared. “We’re here to overthrow it completely. We didn’t get all the way there on January 6th, but we will endeavor to get rid of it and replace it with this right here,” he said, holding his fist in the air. “That’s right, because all glory is not to government, all glory to God.”

Steve Bannon, former White House adviser, is heard in the background exclaiming, “All right! Amen!”

All Republicans are perfectly happy with the idea of having a (Christo-)fascist dictatorship in power in the U.S. . All that they care about is that the dictatorship rewards them with money and power. I know Republicans like this, people you might think were just ordinary folks, and they’re masters of telling themselves stories to justify their violence and thievery and masters at not seeing anything that might cause cognitive dissonance, to the extent that they’re capable of that at all.

      I’m not picking a fight, I’m calling out an obvious bullshit take that is being parroted by people as if it had any merit.

            You should be concerned with Jesus’s judgement, because he’d be disappointed in the way you’re acting.

            But, if you read the Bible and came to the conclusion that Jesus wanted you insulting strangers in defense of him, you’re reinforcing the, “religious people are stupid,” theory.

                Well, keep on giving Christianity a worse name than it already has. You’re doing a great job of it.

                And you do care, even if it’s just a little bit. Because you know Jesus would be disappointed in your behavior.

                  Oversight of my behavior is a matter between me, my priest, and my God. You’re neither of those, and your opinion of it is worthless to me.

                    My opinion must be worth something if you keep responding. It’s almost like you know I’m right and are trying to convince yourself otherwise.
