This week: Atheists.
Basic rule of thumb: The more incompetent the tyrant, the larger the circle of victims required for 15 Minute Hates.
Atheists constitute roughly 4% of the population last I checked. They spend their time drinking tea and playing video games atheistically, as well as working, raising their families, and fishing or playing with model trains without belief in deities. And a recent poll showed that about 20% of them believe in a “Higher Power”. So, like the rest of us, they spend time being inconsistent and confused. What they do not spend their time doing is being a “threat to America” or the “enemy within”. As a committed Catholic, they neither pick my pocket nor break my leg. Lots of them spend a great deal of energy doing the same thing I do: begging MAGA Christians to act like Christ and earning contempt from them for their trouble.
But they are, in the eyes of the Cult, different, and therefore they are now a MAGA-Designated Scapegoat Group.
