I saw a quote the other week that stuck with me.

It was from the widow of the guy who got shot at that Trump rally. Biden had apparently offered to speak to her, but she didn’t want to because her husband was “a devout republican”.

Politics and religion have merged over there. People are making this shit their whole identity.

If you don’t think there is a concerning religiosity on the left, you’re part of the problem. The right is a significantly more serious problem in the near term, but the growing treatment of political thought as doctrinal and highly internalized belief among leftists and (to a lesser extent) progressives has all the makings of something can cause serious issues to the march of progress.
