Pete Hegseth, Trump's pick for Sec. of Defense, is a white Christian nationalist with a violent vision for America. He represents a growing MAGA base that believes they're on a mission from God.
Call this what it is: Christian jihad. There’s just one problem - the “Christian” right movement does not reflect Jesus’ teachings in any way, shape or form. It is a Cult.
This is just sick. Mental illness plain and simple. Americans who follow such a faith are to be watched closely and not trusted, including Trump. A real faith is not full of hatred. That is not what Jesus preached.
As long as the bible is so much a misogynistic tome, certain people will be turned on by violence against women - possessing them, keeping them as property, holding them responsible for all that goes wrong - because this is what the bible teaches. It teaches women this too. Take all the misogyny out of the bible and you go from a two inch thick book to a quarter inch thick book.
The bible teaches that women are dirty, they're worth less (60 shekels to a man's 100), they're manipulative sluts, they are to be used as the spoils of war and that they should be handed over to a stranger to keep the stranger from diddling a man's guest. Just gross stuff.
The Southern Baptist Convention made it clear just a couple of years ago that women are banned from working as preachers because they are women. What nonsense.
This is less surprising when you think about rape conviction rates and the fact that prosecuting dv has been historically ridiculed. And so depressing. Remember reading this is really under reported statistically and "covering up" is seen as the obligation of many upper middle class raised in shady households
Pete Hegseth's Crusade for Christian Nationalism: The Next Front in the MAGA Takeover
Pete Hegseth, Trump’s sycophantic cheerleader, white supremacist propagandist, and sexual predator, isn’t just gunning for Defense Secretary—he’s also targeting the education of military families. This dangerous ideologue, dripping with the rhetoric of Christian nationalism, sees his potential role as a gateway to infuse Pentagon schools with a toxic mix of whitewashed American history, evangelical Christian theology, and thinly veiled authoritarianism.
Thank you, KRiley. Let's think positive going into the New Year and hopefully it will be brighter than it is now. Have a very Merry Christmas and a safe and sane New Year.
This so-called religion is just a glorified biker club. It's MadMax wearing a cross and acting like he's sanctified rather than psycho. I shun such zealots because zealotry is nothing more than unrestrained id. But I acknowledge that we are an unevolved species.
But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.

They are theological perverts, assuming they even know what theological means.
Christian Nationalists are like a cult inside a cult.

The bible needs some heavy editing.
All dictators rely on a religious cult. Christian nationalists in the West. It is easy to inculcate them into a militant mob. https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/dictatorship-is-choreographed?r=3m1bs

Thanks, Mary D. Wujcik. Have a fabulous Christmas holiday and forget all about this bad stuff.
Nazi just deleted my post and I'm too lazy to start over. Some poor slob has nothing better to do tonight.

The common US belief that "you have to be cruel to be kind" is a perfect example of this kind of thinking. Or not thinking. Mindset.
This so-called religion is just a glorified biker club. It's MadMax wearing a cross and acting like he's sanctified rather than psycho. I shun such zealots because zealotry is nothing more than unrestrained id. But I acknowledge that we are an unevolved species.
Love to hear this truth. Thank you!!!!
But what can we do now besides just wait and watch?
