Yes, but I believe with the added benefit of the Native Americans being happy to die for Jesus. I think. My Grammy after her sixth glass of wine makes more sense than this.

Celebrating genocide of Native folks cuz it gave \u201cus\u201d freedom. \u201cUs\u201d being who exactly? Right.\n\nAlso, STOP using THE when you refer to \u201cNative Americans\u201d as a demographic. Try it out in front of any other racial group; see how effed it sounds? We are not other, we are still here.https://twitter.com/patriottakes/status/1527315817586900993\u00a0\u2026

I didn\u2019t think you could be more repugnant than people who deny Europeans committed genocide vs indigenous people, but framing genocide as \u201cNative Americans\u2019 sacrifice for us to have the freedoms we have today\u201d & \u201cthe right to worship Jesus freely\u201d proves there\u2019s always worse.https://twitter.com/patriottakes/status/1527315817586900993\u00a0\u2026

I'm re-reading God is Red and he identifies one type of sacred place as a place of significant loss. These places become sacred because the loss, the sacrifice, reminds us that we too might be called upon to sacrifice.\n\nOur ancestors did not sacrifice themselves for Americahttps://twitter.com/patriottakes/status/1527315817586900993\u00a0\u2026

Mind you, these people apparently went to see her speak. I don\u2019t pretend to understand why.

Everything I read about Kandiss Taylor--the Jesus, Guns, Babies candidate--is completely internally coherent, it's just incredibly overt, loud, and clear Christian nationalism. Stop being surprised, she's just screaming all the quiet parts.

Anyone wondering who raises a Buffalo shooter or where the indoctrination begins...it starts at home with a Dixie Flag. And is repeated in church on any given Sunday.https://twitter.com/patriottakes/status/1527315817586900993\u00a0\u2026
