    They, on the other hand, see bad and good as something you are, a sort of fundamental birth stat that can never change.

    Holy shit. Thank you for this. You have no idea how long I’ve been looking for a more succinct explanation for this whole mess.

      It would explain a lot, wouldn’t it?

      No matter what a republican does, it’s good. No matter what a democrat does, it’s bad. I’m not even going to get into the whole issue of how democrats are still center-right and there’s no true left in the US (not a politically relevant one, anyway - I know people with opinions exist).

      It’s why Trump being on the Epstein list is no big deal - but Biden investing money into, among other things, green energy - which caused more American jobs to be created - was a bad thing.

      Yeah, it’s seems the only way they think that stat can change is if you ‘find God’. Because only an all-powerful God can change an inherent stat.

      I think that’s also why they so readily believe that you can ‘pray the gay away’. It’s not because they don’t believe being LGBTQ+ isn’t inherently a birth thing; it’s because they already know God can change Bad People to Good People so obviously he can take other ‘Badness’ away too.
