@MissConstrue

I have consumed ALL the broadcast TV.. since the 1960s, and I am only now realizing/lamenting now how much all of it's embedded/inherent/chronic 'isms' have shaped and helped lay the groundwork for the whole 'Murca'/MAGA #facist #theocracy nightmare we are living through now.

There are exceptions- but so much of that crap is just dreck that feeds the worst instincts....

Anyway, glad you have some 'yoots' in your world... and thanks for the pushback & reply...

@rssbot perhaps it's time for #Atheists to not be nice? We're losing the war against #Theocracy in the US

The problem with #Theocracy is that it tells people what they have to think and that is going to fail. It is #DOA. #God doesn't make anybody do anything. God does not restrict #Itself. The correct understanding of what is happening provides more than enough room for tolerance.

A quotation from Heinlein

There is a latent deep strain of religious fanaticism in this, our culture; it is rooted in our history and it has broken out many times in the past. It is with us now; there has been a sharp rise in strongly evangelical sects in this country in recent years, some of which hold beliefs theocratic in the extreme, anti-intellectual, anti-scientific, and anti-libertarian.

Robert A. Heinlein (1907-1988) American writer
Essay (1952-10), “Concerning Stories Never Written,” Revolt in 2100, Postscript (1953)

The DOJ filed 197 pages calling LGBTQ+ protections anti-Christian. Not subtext. The framework. Thirteen million queer adults sit inside that crosshair right now. Wendy Weber breaks down what the Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias actually means — and the senator call you make this week.

Trump sponsors New Apostoic Reformation pro-theocracy "Rededicate 250" event on DC's Mall

On Sunday the 17th of May, a huge crowd of Christian nationalists, other fundamentalists packed onto DC's National Mall for what was billed as an all-day prayer vigil. It was reportedly organized directly or indirectly by the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) and sponsored by Trump. Trump himself was playing golf, no doubt considering all this Christian extremist shit too boring to pull him away from his golf game. Still, this amounts to an official endorsement from the Office of the President for the NAR.

US House speaker Mike Johnson claimed the event "transcends politics" but the speakers were reported by a Reddit poster to not surprisingly be hardcore "MAGA Christians."

https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/1teft7s/mike_johnson_says_rededicate_250_event_transcends/

Remember that NAR promotes the totalitarian "Seven Mountains Mandate" concept that religion should dominate and control family, religion, education, media, arts/entertainment, business, and of course government.

A Matthew D. Taylor said on Substack (not linking to Substack due to Nazi issues) that Rededicate 250 was the NAR's "Crowning achievement" to date.

The billionaires behind the larger theocratic push in the US tend to fund and follow the NAR, which itself is a extremist offshoot of the Pentacostals. Some other churches notably the Catholics have called them out as "heretical" and inauthentic as they push the concept that people alive today can become apostles.

As I was nowhere near this mess, I have no idea if most of the attendees of the march were even aware that the NAR was the muscle behind this march. Lots of other fundamentalists however are chugging the Kool-Aid NAR is pouring at least so far as politics is concerned.

The Southern Poverty Law Center once called NAR: "he greatest threat to American democracy that most people have never heard of," as much of the work is pulling the strings from behind the scenes. Despite doctrinal differences deemed toxic by may old-style Baptists and similar fundamentalists, the powerful Southern Baptist Convention has endorsed the NAR on at least one occasion.

The video was liberated from an extreme-right Twitter poster, shortened to remove a Christian propaganda clip, and cropped down to cut out a racist logo. It is valuble intel, and shows how many people still support Trump and want an all-white theocratic successor state to the former US nominal democracy.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has a longstanding fascination with the Crusades. That’s right, the Crusades: the series of late 11th to 13th century medieval wars in which Europeans fought to control the Holy Land. #Christofascism #Sectarianism #Theocracy #Hegseth youtube.com/watch?v=qW2-...

“'God chose Ethan for a reason,' one South Carolina mother told the Independent this February after her son was paralyzed by measles encephalitis.

'If I knew this could be the outcome, I still wouldn’t have given my son the vaccine,' she said, citing the misleading scare line publicly shared by Kennedy and Trump that children today receive too many shots."

"The people dragging America’s public health system toward a new dark age are not demonic. Rather, they are morally bankrupt and high on the supply of theocratic self-righteousness, with no regard to how their words and actions affect real people’s wellbeing.

Christian nationalist language gives calculated government neglect the sheen of providence."

“'What we’re seeing in the US today is the attempt to use religion and Christian nationalism to erode a scientifically based social contract of trust between government and the people, and replace it with a more authoritarian relationship,' adds [Gary] Gunderson [Baptist minister and professor of public health science at Wake Forest University School of Medicine]."

It's not accidental that RFKJr — the lifelong philander with multiple marriages and affairs — goes around babbling about “spiritual malaise,” "spiritual warfare,” “malevolent forces,” and the “sacred ritual” of family dinner time. In talking this way, he's seeding in public discourse — about health matters — Christian nationalist memes.

Adrienne Matei notes what we sometimes miss about RFKJr's attack on public health, science, and research:

"From prescribing spiritual warfare to demonizing health experts, RFK Jr’s health empire has become a dangerous vehicle for a Christian nationalist worldview."

“ What an increasing number of Republicans like Ogles, Fine, Tuberville, Roy, Paxton, Cornyn, and Trump are building is not a defense against theocracy. It is an American version of the same architecture, state power directed at a religious minority, justified by the claim that one faith tradition is incompatible with national life. That is not constitutional governance. It is the thing the Constitution was designed to prevent.”
