"I Escaped #Christian #Conservative #Indoctrination"

thekaysemeloneshow.com/p/013-i

"When I was in grade school, I was taught that #liberals were my enemy, #God will send these #nonbelievers to #hell, and how it was up to me to ensure that the #Democraticparty failed in everything it attempted.
Because I wasn’t just raised in a #church. I was #indoctrinated into Christian #Conservatism. And I was one of the fortunate ones who were able to eventually walk away from it."

Oliver Willis on Trump's first 100 days:

"The core understanding that we will need to take away is remembering that this is the outcome of conservatism. Trump is no aberration.

Bush whisper about in the gold-plated quiet rooms of the country club.

Conservatism is a toxic mindset."

Patriarchy, violence, and religion in Italy
The Polis ProjectPatriarchy, Xenophobia, & Religion: Sexual Violence In ItalyThe intersection of xenophobia, patriarchy, and violence against women in Italy reveals complex and divisive attitudes toward integration, tradition, and sex.

Has anyone written a pithy statement of the corollary, that those who subscribe to this proposition are always convinced they deserve to be in the ingroup and someone else should be in the outgroup (even though other people in the same movement think they're the ones who should be in the outgroup)?

Or does "I didn't think the leopards would eat my face!" cover it?
