  3. Ah, Franklin Graham.

    The acorn that not only did not fall anywhere near the tree, it reached escape velocity and landed on the planet #christofacism.

  7. #HeatherCoxRichardson’s latest piece is chilling — & crucial:
    #authoritarianism #BillBarr #Christofacism #RuleOfLaw

    “The idea that 🇺🇸 must become a Christian nation has apparently led Barr to accept the idea that a man who has called for the execution of those he sees as enemies should be president, apparently because he is expected to usher in an authoritarian Christian state, in preference to a man who is using the power of the government to help ordinary Americans.”

  9. And just in case people are thinking of it, #trans people don't NEED your hugs, or your thoughts or prayers. Nor do we need you fly flags showing that you're willing to be in the same room with us.

    We need you to FUCKING GET OFF YOUR ASSES AND FIGHT WITH US.

    That's what being an Ally is.

    Fight. Tell your legislators that this shit isn't okay. Tell them that their #christofacism is not welcome, nor is it in the spirit of the religion they claim to be part of.

    Register to vote. Get everyone you know registered to vote.
    GET ACTIVE in a local campaign.

    FIGHT

  10. @blogdiva As much despair as I feel about the state of affairs, it is still important to vote. I recognize this. Even if all I'm doing is voting to stop or forestall #christofacism.

  11. CW: re: Refers to anti-LGBTQ activism

    @rail @transworld *nodds in agreement*

    Espechally since I doubt that workarounds (i.e. marring in another #EU member state) even if they weren't paywalled in a classist manner won't be feasible.

    Can we just ban #Christofacism and make all EU members laicist?

    After all, if @EU_Commission can push #Cyberfacism than they can also push #progress!

  12. @stopgopfox The GOP seems more and more to want to dismantle democracy and replace it with their brand of #christofacism.

  13. #Project2025

    Roger Severino’s chapter on the Department of Health and Human Services urges the next conservative president to “maintain a biblically based, social science–reinforced definition of marriage and family.”

    Severino is concerned that federal programs will be subjected to “nonreligious definitions of marriage and family as put forward by the recently enacted Respect for Marriage Act.”

    The Respect for Marriage Act, passed last year by Congress with strong bipartisan support, requires the federal government and states to recognize same-sex and interracial marriages. The law is not religious or nonreligious; it is a constitutionally enacted law of the United States

    Another startling section by Severino concerns Covid-19 policies, opposition to which has galvanized conservative Christians.

    He criticizes the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s actions and wonders “how much risk mitigation is worth the price of shutting down churches on the holiest day of the Christian calendar and far beyond as happened in 2020? What is the proper balance of lives saved versus souls saved?”

    That’s not a tough question to answer: The federal government does not need to worry about saving souls.

  15. @danwentzel Guess why the #Nazis did mostly merge their brownshirts and made them deputee officers early on?

    And it's not as if facists in the USA didn't get caught wanting to install #Christofacism in the next or following term...

  16. @MilaFlicka @ZhiZhu Catholic #Christofacism kills - like all forms of #facism...

    That's not an accident but intentional by design...

    "The Christian nation"--and I use the term with reservation, and only because it's how they like to refer to themselves, has been building this movement, deliberately, painstakingly, and with remarkably steady progress, since the Civil Rights era (if not earlier). We got here because they've been playing the long game for decades and want their fundamentalist version of Sharia Law. I was inside this movement for a few years in the 80s & 90s, and am pretty sure it's time for me to do some more detailed writing on their strategies. For anyone wanting more detail, best book I can recommend at this moment is Kristin Kobes Du Mez's "Jesus and John Wayne." If there aren't enough minutes for the book, may I recommend investing an hour in listening to her 2020 interview with Eric Skwarczynski:

  19. @BlackAzizAnansi PLEASE speak on this. Trump appointed Rightwing judges literally shoving #ChristoFacism down the public's throat. This should be front page and not just in opinion. Gift article link wapo.st/3QDKVFv

    Particularly offensive when some state legislatures are making diversity training at private corporations illegal.

  21. @kcarruthers actually, the #GOP are fash - they are just too cowardly to admit that they want #Christofacism.

    Just like white people from the south are too cowardly to admit that a lot of them want #slavery back!

  22. @daveystew because they love #Christofacism!

    Remember: there was no effective Antiracism Enforcement after the Civil War!

  23. @SrRochardBunson #Christofacism is the immediate threat and must be dealt with and relegated to a fringe idea (at best).

  24. @gwensnyder Sadly, said effort was one in vain because fascism has come to #Amurica wrapped in the 'cozy' arms of religion and 'freedom' in a #Christofacism branded package.

  25. @Quest4Blackbeard Once Trump touched a wave off of #Christofacism, that made things very difficult. It's going to take a minor miracle to put that genie back in the bottle.

  26. 🔵Migrating account.🔵 After most of my adult life in South Carolina, I landed in Arizona. 🤔 After a satisfying 6mos on home.social, I landed here because it's closing down. I boosted a few of my old posts, just so as not to be a blank account. As an eclectic poster, I can't promise any exact ratios, but followers will likely see posts to do with:

    #USPol
    #christofacism
    #GermanShepherds
    #GSDs
    #Arizona
    #Homestead
    #WritingCommunity
    #horses
    #dogs
    #publishing

    Will update a pinned post when the process is complete.

  28. @edbott If he truly believes that God controls our life and our fate why on earth would he want to be in government? Truly the language of idiocy. #ChristoFacism #ThoughtsAndPrayers

  29. The slide towards #christofacism in the #unitedstates is real and happening at a frightening pace.

  30. @JennaWright @tdwllms1 @_L1vY_ @mattalhonte Y'all, my own .02 on this aspect? I don't find this part of the mindset much (any?) different from its mirror image in the #Christofacism I fled in the 90s. It's way easier to have a list of "rules" to substitute for judgment than to do your own thinking. Most immature kids would rather react than think, yes? It's not the only factor, but it's a big one. If that's overly cynical, I might be sorry. Or not. 🤷‍♀️ 🤨

  31. @jennycohn 💯 As someone who escaped that CULTure decades ago, I'm always happy to see people tackling the problem. For anyone who isn't already aware, there is a useful tool at this link--an online database of specific instances, many yet unresolved.
