      The Gulag was a government agency in the Soviet Union that administered forced labor camps, particularly during Joseph Stalin’s rule, especially in the 1930s through early 1950s. Stalin was not a Christian either. Similarly, if Putin considers you a threat, you may disappear. Trump has followed a similar approach, gathering loyalists in as many government positions as possible. He has vowed retribution against his perceived enemies, much like the forced internment camps the U.S. used for Japanese Americans during WWII. He may indeed imprison those who speak out against him, having already promised to deploy the National Guard against protesters.

    I’d say start studying the Bible so you can blend in, but actually knowing scripture is VERY uncommon among the MAGA crowd.

    Hopefully not until Putin takes over the UK since that’s where we’re fleeing to.

    It might not be the best country, but it is a country where the government is actively working on banning conversion therapy with cross-party and church support.
