On a related topic, I was listening to John Leake on the Courageous Discourse substack and he likened the way all views that oppose those in power (in general) and particularly die-hard Democrats, are treated as apostate for all opposing views as if they had broken religious mores. He commented that it was almost like the world was regressing to a time before the enlightenment when those in authority controlled acceptable "truth" and all who opposed were destroyed. It is almost like we are reentering the dark ages.
John Leake explained it better than I did, but I thought it was quite inciteful.
