Media have a huge role to play here. If they didn’t republish every racist, misogynistic tweet or press release every one would be the better for it.
But not a Christian who follows the teachings of Christ. Sermon on the Mount anyone? https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%205-7&version=KJV

A lot will depend on the msm attitude. If they get a sniff of blood in the water, like sharks, they can’t help themselves. A feeding frenzy will ensue.
If you want some belly laughs, have a read of some of the writing by JP Donleavy. The author of the book the song gets its title from. A Fairy Tale of New York. Best know for The Ginger Man. Admittedly, I was younger then!

Is this the most anti science government ever, in Aotearoa at least? Going back to the early Covid years, Chris Bishop et al were all for ignoring the science and not using masks, no transport restrictions, and no control over the points of entry. Latterly...

What we have to remember is that their definition of “all New Zealanders” is very narrow. Only those that vote right, drive gas guzzling SUVs and refuse to acknowledge anything Māori.
