"content": "The people who exploit Amish life as a tourist attraction have a target market: Christian Nationalists.\n\nThe Amish are deeply committed to pacifism: many went to jail as conscientious objectors to America’s wars -- and they won’t even sing the National Anthem. \n\nBut Amish Country souvenirs are covered in the Stars and Stripes, and include many tchotchkes featuring extreme gun rights slogans.\n\nAnd the trend is accelerating.\n\nhttps://theconversation.com/amish-culture-prizes-peace-but-you-wouldnt-necessarily-know-it-from-a-stop-in-amish-country-tourist-towns-212419\n#News #ChristainNationalism #Tourism\n\nhttps://assets.newsie.social/media_attachments/files/111/337/387/162/268/583/original/6fc9b9f82ba0cf2a.png",
