That’s just a clever quip. It comes from a time and a place.

Nobody is rewriting history, because (1) this conversation is about the current and the future and (2) it’s intellectually dishonest to essentialalize the content of quip.

That has been my experience. It’s astonishing to see folks advocate for fascist theocracy when that’s Jesus taught pretty much the opposite.

We can see the religious right openly backing repression and those who try to seize power, and that they have the support of one of the two major parties, and continue to have people and advocates in the most powerful positions in the country (President, congressional leaders, Supreme Court, leading news commentators such as Tucker Carlson).

Who on the left is doing that and has that power?

just because someone says that doesn’t mean it’s some objective truth. Fascism also isn’t the only authoritarian form of government.
