    All of this is spelled out in project 2025. If you want to know what’s coming next, just look at their website.

      Just wait until they start banning porn. It’s already started in some states tbh.

      Canada almost had the same thing happen, but thankfully Poilievre didn’t win PM, and even lost his seat too as a bonus.

      I’ve been warning people about the setup to martial law. That’s the final step of project 2025 that officially and completely destroys democracy. There will be no going back and no voting in the future. I keep being called an alarmist, but I was called an alarmist in late 2015 when he announced his run. It’s also perfectly spelled out and they’ve been doing every project 2025 has step by step.

    Something I’m confused about: if Republicans believe government policy should be based on Christian values, why are they against government programs helping the poor?

    It’s really funny to me that all the “Christians” in government literally have none of the values Christ did. I’ll bet if I asked them what their favorite Bible verse was they couldn’t answer.

      He never meant it. And all of the cons hate ACTUAL freedom. Meaning, the kind of freedom that includes freedom FROM religion. Not just the “freedom” to select from a set of talibangelical cults.

      He didn’t even touch the Bible when he swore in this time. I doubt that means anything “legally speaking”, but I’m sure it meant something to him

    A common theme of MAGA is inventing problems that they can solve.

    The idea that Christianity in the US is under threat and needs additional protections, is some epic persecution complex.

      Under threat? Because it’s declining in popularity? Sounds like the will of the people if you ask me.

        That and the least amount of their privilege being questioned/ignored/dethroned is what they hate the very most.

        They don’t WANT people to have a right to choose to ignore their little book club. They don’t believe in this country, which is secular. They want xtian Shariah law to be the law of the land, which violates the very principles of this country.

      I had an old boss tell me that Christians are the most persecuted people on earth. They truly believe it and get off on it. All while existing in a country where you almost have to be Christian or at least Jewish to be elected to national office. It’s pure mass delusion propaganda.

    The final form of conservative regimes always resorts to imposing religion and rigid moral codes in order to suffocate any form of dissent. Conservatives have been painting themselves as the “rebels” in their manufactured culture wars and the warriors of freeze peach, but in the end it always funnels back to this: Bible authoritarianism. They will use this argument for push for more censorship, information control, stripping away rights and oppressing every community they deem against their dogmas. The writing has been on the wall for a decade now.

    I am hoping that America’s new implementation of this “Christian state” proves to be grotesque enough to serve as a warning for the rest of the world that even had the fleeting thought of going down this route. And I while am not very hopeful for Americans, I wish they find the strength to resist and revolt against this movement.

      Bible authoritarianism.

      Based on one very specific “interpretation” of the Bible that nobody is allowed to argue against.

        We are going to be required to interpret the bible as justifying conservative power hierarchies, which requires ignoring surface level interpretations of most of the book.

        The fascists have done a damn fine job of consolidating power in the church by grossing out most of the leftists into not attending, now the physical place designated for moral and ethical debate and community organization in society is dominated by the right.

        If you are a self proclaimed leftist in America i implore you to get your butt into a church pew and integrate with their community, only tithe if you are confident the money is serving the community, and lead everywhere you can.

      Only if you care about the constitution, freedom, and/or democracy. It’s very clear MAGA does not care about any of that so here we are.
