Coronavirus & CONtrol-freaks

[edited to emphasize realities] The Road to Coronavirus Hell Was Paved by Evangelicals CONservative, proselytizing pseudo-Christians: DUHnocchio's response to the pandemic has been haunted by the science denialism of his [odiously] ultraconservative religious religionist allies.

Putin's-Puppet-in-Chief "rose to power with the determined assistance of a movement that denies science, bashes government and prioritized loyalty over professional expertise. In the current crisis, we are all reaping what that movement has sown.

At least since the 19th century, when the proslavery theologian Robert Lewis Dabney attacked the physical sciences as “theories of unbelief,” hostility to science has characterized the more extreme forms of religious religionist nationalism in the United States. [Why the antagonism to science? Scientific evidence/explanations FALSIFY unfounded religionist "creation" LIES.] Today, the hard core of climate deniers is concentrated among people who identify as religiously conservative Republicans CONservatively religionist RepuGNicans."

[Why the antagonism to science? Scientific evidence/explanations FALSIFY unfounded religionist "creation" LIES.].

"And some leaders of the [decidedly unpatriotic] "Christian" [white] nationalist movement, like those allied with the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship Theocratic Promulgation of Creation, Creatardism, which has denounced environmental science as a “Cult of the Green Dragon,” cast environmentalism as an alternative — and false — theology.

[Why? Scientific evidence/explanations not only FALSIFY unfounded religionist "creation" LIES, but threaten the profits of the Fossil Fuel Corporations that purchase politicians and sponsor AGW-denying propaganda.]

"This denial of science and critical thinking among religious ultraconservatives now haunts the American response to the coronavirus crisis. On March 15, Guillermo Maldonado, who calls himself an “apostle” and hosted Idiot-in-Chief earlier this year at a campaign event at his Miami megachurch, urged his congregants to show up for worship services in person. “Do you believe God would bring his people to his house to be contagious with the virus? Of course not,” he said.""

[Congregate en masse with fellow CONservative, proselytizing pseudo-Christian RepuGNicans because you foolishly believe that a non-existence gives a toss about protecting you from your own deluded stupidity? Go ahead, but don't take ICU beds and ventilators from the more deserving who do NOT have Authoritarian Personality Disorder.]
