Deny or Die - the mantra of extreme policies
and beliefs. This has been a central thread for religious and political
conformity for centuries. The list is long. Let's list a few, just in Europe
and the Americas.
a. Bolsheviks to Czarists (and everybody else
for that matter) Russia, 20th century
b. Lutherans to Catholics, Germany, 16th century
c. Catholics to reformers, Southern Europe mostly, 16-18th centuries
d. Catholics to Muslims, Spain, 11-17th centuries
e. Muslims and Catholics to Jews, Europe and the Mediterranean region, 12-20th centuries
f. Protestants to everybody else, USA, 16-19 centuries
g. Catholics to impure Catholics, Spain and elsewhere, the Inquisition

Denial meant death.
All are forms of identity exclusion. Add up all the deaths from just this short
list comes to a staggering total.
In particular, it
seems that Dems have outlawed religion among its rank and file. It is
interesting that Dems, the self-declared party of inclusion, have decided they
have a corner and abject demands on beliefs of its members. As a method of
purification, it is not dissimilar to ethnic cleansing. It spells doom
eventually, but a lot of suffering in the interim.
Equally interesting are
the Reps, who have now embraced the working-class Americans above their
formerly preferred identity interests. So,
what happened to them?
Analogically, this is
similar to those rare events where the earth changes it magnetic polarity. Historians will have much to report in about
a half-century.
