In Trump we trust: religious right on crusade to make their man president
In Trump we trust: religious right on crusade to make their man president
America’s evangelicals sense a chance to impose a radical agenda and resist what they see as a tide of liberal secularism
Evangelicals are primed for fascism and subservience. They are in no way, shape, or form a model, except for how not to behave.
"their man", such deluded fools.
Those at the top know what they're doing.
They know this is the mother of all grifts.
Puppeteers need puppets.
Even so, he's still not theirs. Donny only needs them as long as he needs votes.
I don't remember taking this photo??? But there it is, so I must have taken that photo...
Only a true fartographer could capture a handful of turds appearing to sniff a fart.
It's becoming a weird full-circle at this point.
Fascists need to foster that "Us V Them" mentality to sucker the populace, and the rest of us are now doing the same to stop it.
I fucking hate this timeline.
You just know he's thinking about grabbing that woman's pussy.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
“I do not believe that America can survive another four years of Joe Biden,” Ralph Reed, founder and chair of the Faith & Freedom Coalition, told a gathering of the religious right in Washington on Friday.
The couching of an Armageddon election, in which religious truth itself is at stake, with victory representing divine providence and defeat spelling total catastrophe, was crystallised by Monica Crowley, a rightwing political commentator and former assistant secretary of the treasury.
Notably, little was said by the dozen main stage speakers about abortion, a live political grenade for which Republicans have struggled find a coherent message since the supreme court overturned the landmark Roe v Wade precedent two years ago.
Some were sceptical about the thrice-married reality TV star when he first ran for president in 2016 but the concerns were assuaged by his running mate, born-again evangelical Christian Mike Pence, and by a first term that saw him shift the judiciary to the right.
Robert P Jones, the president and founder of the Public Religion Research Institute thinktank in Washington, wrote on Substack recently: “The transformation of Trump from a person to a symbol is the key to understanding the power of the Maga movement and the internal logic of the upside-down world where a unanimous guilty verdict in a fair trial results in solidified support, record fundraising, and desperate Christian defenses of a convicted felon.”
Inside the upmarket Washington hotel hosting the conference, there were vendors selling Maga merchandise, lifesize cardboard cutouts of Trump and an area where attendees could pose with head shots of their choice for his running mate.

Why post an article from The Observer when they post terf garbage?
Tried googling that and I got were Judith Butler op eds published in the Guardian lol. Unless the creator of queer theory had a massive shift recently, I don’t think that’s terf stuff

Anything she writes related to trans issues or topics is about as FARTy as it comes.
She is "chief leader writer at the Observer and a Guardian/Observer columnist"
Shouldn't there a '&' between 'religious' and 'right'. No1 is both, one term eliminates the other.
