      Out of the pandering they do this is probably the most dangerous one.

      Christians aren’t inherently bad, but Christian who thinks the Bible says Trump is a good person is a real problem.

      Christian nationalism is making a real strong comeback and somewhat overtly so culture wise like clothing and media.

    How? Cause bumble fuck morons in rural areas have the reading level of a 2nd grader and can’t figure out when they are being lied to.

    Edit: to be clear, im not saying all rural folks are dumb. Im saying the ones who happen to be dumb got us into this mess

      I know city raised folk that are just as dumb. It’s all about being brainwashed to believe bullshit from the time they’re hatched. By the time they can make decisions on their own they all think they’re part of some magic christian hogwarts world.

        That’s the end goal of religion.

        Religion is poison and poisons everything it touches.

      I’ve lived in rural Canada and the majority of the people I knew were as dumb as a bag of hammers.

    Two of my grandparents and both my parents are survivors of residential schools run by Catholics … and I saw the last of Catholic run day schools when I was a kid …

    From my own and my family’s experience … CHRISTIANS are historically the perpetrators of hate-based violence in Canada.

    Anyone who thinks they are gods children are mistaking them for a bunch of brain washed idiots.

    Poilievre can get fucked.

      Being born in to a white Christian household I’d like to offer my own family perspective on this… yeah, it’s the same… we are the baddies. As a “christian” I have never once felt persecuted, only embarrassment of this new found Christian nationalism that seems to be rising all over. I’m done with the church entirely.

      Why does Pollivre think people want to whitewash history? Yeah, it’s not a good thing, but it’s even worse to try and pretend a bunch of bad shit didn’t happen. If you support this you are the problem.

      Shame on Pollivre.

        His selectiveless in speaking to the media has seemingly made journalists go easy on him in interviews from what I’ve seen.

        Not sure if they’re screening the questions or the people know they’re not getting another interview unless they feed him some softballs.

    Can we put to bed the idea he’d have been harder on Trump when he’s literally reciting their talking points.

    Yeah every Easter I see so much terror being done to them. During December the country doesn’t go into Christmas stuff.

    Just remember there is no more hate than Christian love.

    Oh no won’t somebody think of the uneducated brainwashed cult members.

    Fuck your agenda of pushing your cult into politics. That shit belongs in the privacy of your own home and nowhere else.

    Well, having been raised in a pseudo Christian home I did grow to really hate the religion. But somehow I don’t think that’s what he means.

    It checks out when you recognize that he panders to people who believe being slightly inconvenienced or inclusive of others is to have violence done against them.

    I don’t even think he believes this himself. He just knows the people who he wants to vote for him instead of Bernier believe it.

    I listened to him saying that and the first thing I thought was it’s an intentional dog whistle to all the Christian nationalists, white nationalists, and residential school deniers who hold onto the churches burned in the summer of the Kamloops residential school news as a point of grievance.

    Talking about churches being attacked across Canada one day before NDTR just screams that he wants to play upon those grievances and feed into those narratives which are also closely tied to great replacement narratives and the superiority of white Christian civilization that Charlie Kirk and his movement were also all about.

    It’s really gross, disturbing, and dangerous. Not only is he spouting utter lies, but he’s willingly feeding the flame of far-right white Christian nationalism.

      Yeah, clearly he’s still being pulled around by his right flank. So far that hasn’t worked out so well in the actual elections.

      Somewhere I read that the concept of anti-christian bias can, and will, be used just like antisemitism is, as a broad moral justification for annihilating leftists. Didn’t hold much water when Trump signed his “antichristian bias” EO, but after the most recent events (Catholic church, Kirk, Mormon church), they are bound to dial up this angle. Also queer people: christian nationalists consider gay rights as a direct attack to their faith.

      This is why your comment is the only one here that is worth responding to. The rest indulge themselves in a self-righteous and false sense of superiority. They make the same mistake with Trump, failing to see through the fuckery, and realize the consistent strategy of the christian nationalists backing him.

        It is being used that way now. The danger is rising quickly, and it’s not just south of the border. It’s here, and there are groups working to advance it and trying to leverage it for their own benefit. The warning lights should be flashing for anyone paying attention.
