I believe this society is corrupt enough for a similar push and that it will come down the same way. I really don't know what country and who it might be that sides with the Church, but it'll be at least as unexpected as it was to see the US stand up after decades of preaching compromise and unilateral disarmament.

The fascists in this country aren't even bright enough to analyze the collapse of the Soviet Union and learn from it. They've just picked up where Jimmy Carter left off and restarted all the same programs with all the same arguments.

I well remember Carter talking about turning down the thermostat and getting used to not having "smokestack industries" while the steel industry collapsed. If I recall correctly, he refused to guarantee loans that would have allowed a good many steel works to modernize without the government being on the hook for anything but the interest if there were a default.

They haven't changed a thing since Carter, either. This coming four years they won't be paying off their union pals from industrial unions, they'll be finishing off the industries they work in. Then the Federal government will take over their pension funds, reduce what they were promised, and have all their good union supporters in the same position as black folks on the welfare plantations. Government employees unions give them all the union based support they need and are more reliable to boot.

The Gingerbread men riding on the nose of the fox are not long for this world.
