(5,364 posts)I used to get that kind of crap in email forwards from relatives all the time. Most of these people were apolitical ( as far as I could tell ) till 2008, at which point they went RW nutjob.
I changed my email and added "rules" to cut my inbox from the clutter of RW bullshit.

People I knew that were rather apathetic about politics, were suddenly raging, hate-filled, right wing religious conservative, flag waving, finger pointing, knuckle dragging lunatics. Really scary.
What I would do, though, when I received hate-filled emails about anything left wing, was respond to everyone through CC with the truth, with links and graphics included. After about a month, emails stopped pouring in, I guess they just decided the truth was too much to handle.

(15,805 posts)They value their possessions far more than they do people. I don't understand how that squares with their frequent exclamations of religious piety, the contorted mental gymnastics are beyond any rational thought limitations.
I've never thought of putting it that way.
I've always felt they were selfish but I love that they are "materialistic".

(2,475 posts)Many Republican fundies believe that material wealth is a sign of God's favor, and conversely if you are poor, you must be doing something wrong, and poverty is God's punishment. Taking this view perversely further, to help the poor actually subverts God's will!

Oh and today one of them posted a message to God to steer Erika away from Florida. After it was posted, the Hurricane Center updated the cone to move the storm closer to Florida. Thanks a lot God!

(14,050 posts)divided in the same section and about 85% the area. Snarky, counterfactual, anti-liberal JPEG from right wing sight that seemed very clever to them because they don't even think about longer than it took to copy and paste it.

(802 posts)Many of the so-called "christian's" versions of love are something Jesus of Nazareth would turn their den of thieves tables over, chase them out and call out their bigotry and wealth justifying for what it is.
And it's exactly why their leaders will try and crucify Bernie's platform with satanic lies.
I hope and pray more people are waking up to this. Perhaps more bullets and murdering in the name of their superstition will convince more to see the light.
