I am an exvangelical, ex-fundamentalist, ex-Christian Nationalist raving batshit Duggar wannabe. I fled that culture 22 years ago after having six babies (within nine years) for Jesus in order to “take back our Christian nation” from all y’all unrepentant evil pagans in the USA. You are second-class citizens to these people. If you aren’t afraid that the Speaker of the House is a Christian nationalist, you should be. #ChristianNationalism#MikeJohnson#theocracy#VoteBlue
Steven Beschloss asks readers what they hear when Mike Johnson tells us he has been "ordained" by God to be House Speaker — and what this portends for the future. Johnson announced in his first statements after being made Speaker that God had "ordained" him for this office.
I hear theocracy. And hubris. And self-righteous arrogance. And total lack of respect for democracy and the vibrant pluralism of American democracy.
The people who exploit Amish life as a tourist attraction have a target market: Christian Nationalists.
The Amish are deeply committed to pacifism: many went to jail as conscientious objectors to America’s wars -- and they won’t even sing the National Anthem.
But Amish Country souvenirs are covered in the Stars and Stripes, and include many tchotchkes featuring extreme gun rights slogans.
Not American myself, but cause for concern because what #ChristianNationalism does first, the European #farright reuses.
#HeritageFoundation#Project2025 aims to concentrate all power in the executive branch, allow discrimination based on religion, erase all gender and equality not based on their interpretation the bible, and more..
But why you should take them seriously? 50000 absolute loyalists trained to take over all levels of administration, for starters.
In reality, the #Christiannationalist movement that actually matters is rooted in emotion and ostensibly divine revelation, and it’s that emotional and spiritual movement that so stubbornly clings to Donald Trump.
“This is a God nation, this is a Jesus nation, and you will never take my God and my gun out of this nation.”
What in the wide world of #Christofascist fuckery is this??? #FoxNews is having their hosts recite #Christian prayers as part of their programming. They're supposedly sponsored #prayers, paid for by some Christian app. This is just too much. I may have to pack my shit and head up into the mountains to live out my days cut off from the world, and blissfully ignorant of whatever the Christ-folk are doing.
"The same extremists lining up to support a federal abortion ban, that would override hard-earned reproductive freedoms in states like Ohio, are now tripping all over themselves to profess their support for IVF and personal choice. Yeah right."
“There’s nobody that’s better, smarter or a better leader than Viktor Orban. He’s fantastic…He’s a non-controversial figure because he says, ‘This is the way it’s going to be,’ and that’s the end of it. Right? He’s the boss. No, he’s a great leader.”
Again, #lgbtqia people are BORN that way. To create #Legislation that prevents them getting what they need, based on the lie that people can magically switch back and forth is not only cruel, but dangerous and deadly.
The decline of politics in the United States & around the world will begin to make sense when you recognize that the literacy rate is falling off a cliff. This is very important to understand going into this year.
Commander #MikeJohnson is so proud that his 17-year-old son never #masturbates! He knows because he installed incredibly #creepy#Christian monitoring #software on all his family's devices, and gets a notification if his boy is spanking the holy ghost. What a totally normal arrangement this family has! So #wholesome! So #Biblical!
The #incestuous#Christian#purity#culture that Commander #MikeJohnson is apparently a joyful participant of is beyond #creepy. The whole idea that a woman's #virginity is a tangible object that belongs to her #father makes me throw up in my mouth. Seriously, what the hell is wrong with these people?
Apparently, #Christofascist women are "trained" to speak in a high-pitched, childlike #voice to perpetuate the belief that their minds are childlike, sweet, always joyful, and that they never disobey their husbands. I didn't think I could be anymore repulsed and horrified by #Christianity. I was wrong.
Commander #MikeJohnson's (R-#Gilead) #government#funding plan would mean a government #shutdown crisis every two weeks! He wants staggered, individual funding for every department as opposed to a single, unified funding package. This guy is really fucking stupid.
