65. Not Quite Right

Some fringe extremists want that but they would get nowhere without the devastation we brought them as there are always crazy fundamentalists. We have our own right here that would like nothing more than to institute a radical Christian theocracy that hangs gays in the streets and weeds out non-believers. And if we were getting bombed and invaded my foreign governments they could possibly gain a foothold too. People like that get support when people are desperate and demolished.
