I disagree. From my perspective, things that I could never imagine happening in the U.S. are happening with increasing frequency. I could cite an extensive list, but the list is already well known - I can only imagine you're in some kind of denial.

Add this item to the list and wait for the next, tomorrow.

I agree there's a lot of crazy stuff happening in the US these days, but this just isn't an example of it. This school, and these crappy christian churches trying to brainwash Native Americans out of their culture, is nothing new; it's been going on since the late 1800s. This particular place and what's happening there looks like nothing's changed in over 100 years. Why the Native Americans there continue to put up with this BS after all this time, and don't just kick these assholes out of their reservation, is beyond me.

It has absolutely nothing to do with things like abortion being banned in many states due to a SCOTUS decision, the ever-growing polarization, etc.

Christian abuse has nothing to do with rising Christian Nationalism?

I think we're just going to have to agree to disagree. You have a nice day.

No, it really doesn't, when the exact same abuse has been happening for a century at this location. Do you think the FLDS is also a product of rising Christian nationalism? If you want to blame everything on current events, you can believe what you want.
I think we're just going to have to agree to disagree. You take care now.
