The rot started with Nixon and Reagan and before that, long before that with the Catholic Church, which IS Rome, a brutal empire interested only in power and money, even when they get a more moderate pope. Conservative America has always been white and male supremacist. Yea, there are token females and people of color, but not enough to bring in any new ideas or experiences. Now it has devolved , empowered by those things you named, but the rot was already there. I am amazed how you cannot seem to get that. Jesus was a radical, he preached against all the things conservatives proclaim (or hide from public view). His story was bastardized for Rome and its been a sick sacrificial religion since. Sure, there have always been good people, but the system is a cult. You start with the premise that people are sinful, wrap that around sex and what do you get - prurient objectifying sex and pornography and thus a population easy to manipulate with sex and especially dominator sex.

All I can say is look deeper!
Thank you.
Thank you for your thoughtful and engaging perspective, much of which I agree with. I wrote this piece last year which might resonate with you: https://open.substack.com/pub/godofthedesert/p/judeo-christian-mysticism-vs-pauline?r=14q4c&utm_medium=ios
