Evangelical fundamentalists have always, always, ALWAYS loved hurting children. It's a fucking sport for them. It's how they get their jollies.

Whether it's legal fights to protect bullying or wistful reminiscences of torturing queer kids and wishing they could do it again or defending child molesters in their ranks and pedophiles of power by keeping the Epstein files locked up or by blaming children for the accidents of their own birth - particularly when they can get anti-Black racism involved, like here - they just love it.

And they always, always have.

This is well beyond Trump.

This is a kitchen sink wet dream of U.S. oligarchs who have been scheming for its passage for decades. It's a transformation of American society, democracy, economy, etc., and not for the better.

Then they're planning on letting the play the role of Kapo in the new

So...fun times. What are you doing to prepare?

What can be done to stoke the divide between the millions of Christofascists and the thousands of technofascists using them to take power?
:blobcatthink:

I think that my experience growing up in a very conservative pentecostal evangelical church is relevant here. They were obsessed with the End Times, the book of Revelation & the "mark of the beast".

MERCENARY CANNOT BE EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME

remember that the fascists supporting Trump are NOT half the population of the United States. they truly represent close to a ⅓ of the population, maybe even ¼.

the USA political “majority” are voters not registered with a political party. the vast majority of those voters are ―USA’s first majority “minority” generation and the reason fascists have coalesced to destroy the future for this generation… 🧵

THE FASCISTS CANNOT BE EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME

fascist DO NOT HAVE THE NUMBERS

they’re hitting cities, led by Democratic Party mayors and with large minority groups, for the optics.

so now is the time to organize protests everywhere, every way, all the time.

what’s the day of his fascist parade?

let’s make cacerolazos all across USA all day that day, everywhere, across all time zones, across the country… 🧵

(AP) - In under 48 hours, the head of the staunchly conservative public-policy arm of the Southern Baptist Convention rankled fellow Baptists by applauding President Joe Biden’s “selfless act” of withdrawing his candidacy for re-election. Then, his agency reported he was fired — and now they have reaffirmed his leadership. https://apnews.com/article/southern-baptists-public-policy-arm-conservative-leadership-6ee78020117041514fc927b5c53db35d
