Well, guess what ? Mugabe is a devote Chirstian, brought up in Catholic schools. Just like our battery of bigots; It should be really pretty clear, that after our object lesson from Hitler, that it pays to have underdogs, especially if you’re trying to get a bunch of rednecks feeling better about the shitty deal they have, it’s part and parcel of the politics of fear. As sophisticated as we think that we are,
