A huge amount of America is Baptist Christian and believes Israel needs to be at war for Jesus to come back etc. How impactful is this to real life? (hexbear.net)

Is American foreign policy always a cool rational neoliberal calculation or do the delusions of the general public have meaningful impact?

Genuinely if I had my way people associated with the Southern Baptist church would be so oppressed that I should have difficulty running for public office just because my grandma was one and she took me to church as a kid.

Anyone with strong ties to that church needs re-education and lifelong monitoring. Most of the leaders, including nearly every pastor, should be given the fucking wall.
