Bull fucking shit. Equating a minority of MAGAs that want to invade with most Americans only worsens the problem.

Religion is a cycle of abuse that is passed down through generations. It perpetuates itself through authoritarianism and the reinforcement of in groups and out groups. It’s why fascism so often co-opts religious tropes and leverages religious masses to gain and maintain power.
History tells us It’s a very bad idea to leave veterans unemployed. If you take away their plowshares, they’ll pick up swords again.
