It's also a distinction utterly lost on MAGA, who view both words as synonymous.

This is why I don't trust all the breathless takes about how he's going to crash and burn any moment. There are so many people who could watch him kill their family and would love him anyway. You can't reach them.

In retrospect, my Southern Baptist teachers may have been right about an anti-Christ coming. They were wrong about him having a ridiculous Transylvanian name.

Yep, this is the reality. The Pope image especially means nothing to them. Even if they were taken aback by the obvious Jesus image, they'll parrot his Red Cross explanation and it won't matter.

My great uncle was of that mind, so he stuffed silver up his chimney. He was also in the John Birch Society though, so grain of salt.

Some of them went to Nancy, but hopefully that's just lateral thinking.

"AI is garbage, bro, it gives you wrong answers like half the time and the other half the time makes you stupid." Overheard a middle schooler chastising a fellow student for suggesting they use AI. Whole middle school herd started mocking the AI kid. ...We need to let these kids at the tech bros.

Easter, Ishtar and Eostre
Some New Atheists have latched onto memes claiming "Easter" and its customs are stolen from paganism. But is just another case of them not checking facts?

The roots have been around a long time, especially in conservative Calvinist groups. Look up Rushdoony; he was advocating bringing stoning back before Hegseth was born.

I was taught that in the 90s all the way until high school. However, the curriculum was Bob Jones University Press, which explains a lot. We also learned that dinosaurs hung out with early humans.

In Trump's first term, NPR hemmed and hawed about whether he was telling lies. They decided it was impossible to know, because we can't read his thoughts so don't know his sincerity.

If you haven't gone down the rabbit hole that is Kent Hovind, you're in for a treat. He has opinions about leviathan and behemoth, and also thinks the Loch Ness monster is real, an example of dinosaurs still living among us.
