#ChristianNationalists want to raise the next generation to learn false history, illegitimate science, and to favor #Christianity over other faiths and nonreligion. We cannot allow this to happen. Every effort must be undertaken to stop this #unconstitutional madness. #America is NOT a #ChristianNation. It's an intentionally #secularRepublic with clear safeguards against the insidious intermingling of #religion and #government.

A New Crusade? Trump Taps #ChristianNationalists #PeteHegseth & #MikeHuckabee to Top Posts

"Concerns are mounting over Trump’s pick to lead the #Pentagon, #FoxNews host and military veteran Pete Hegseth. #Hegseth is a vocal opponent of the military’s #multiculturalism and decision to allow women to serve in combat, promises to purge the military of generals disloyal to Trump and sports tattoos connected with #NeoNazi and #WhiteNationalist movements. 'Here’s a man who wrote a book declaring his intention to wage, not metaphorical, but actual war within the United States,' says Jeff Sharlet, an expert on the rise of #FarRightExtremism in the United States. Sharlet explains how Hegseth and Mike #Huckabee, Trump’s choice for U.S. ambassador to Israel, have #ChristianNationalist and Christian #Zionist views that ultimately work to whip up animosity toward domestic enemies of the far right."

#Civil War #Trump #Christiannationalists

Two events one on the Mall in DC on Oct 12 and one at a warehouse-sized gun shop and shooting range in PA showcased Trump's again rising ability to summon forth his street soldiers.

The DC event was the "A Million Women" prayer event attacking abortion and the right of transgender folks to exist. Some pointed out that they missed their turnout goals big-time, filling only one panel of the Mall while their extra screens and speakers sat in empty panels. This is still thousands of Christian nationalists calling for genocide and for roundups over abortion though. Presumably all of these folks will be at least voting for trump and some of them fighting for him too. Lots of the fundamentalists on the Mass were videoed raising their arms in what sure looked like mass Nazi saluting.

An even more menacing event took place at Kahr Arms / TommyGun Warehouse in Greeley, PA

www(dot)rodofironfreedomfestival.org

At this event, Rod of Iron pastor Sean Moon received what again sure looked like Nazi salutes from a crowded warehouse. Attendees included former US General Flynn, who called for military tribunals and even executions of officials who have stood against Trump. Ivan Railkin (who wants to be Trump's "Minister of Retribution") was videoed shooting a .308 rifle with an apparent suppressor, then talking about shooting the "deep state" in the heart.

This sort of talk and training has nothing to do with an electoral campaign and everything to do with a military one in the context of anything from a coup attempt to a civil war.

Speaking of civil war and secession, four days ago Frida Ghitis on threads (not linked from here as they are owned by Meta) predicted W Va would refuse to recognize the election results if Trump loses. I have received the same report from other sources.

We should assume Trump will be able to muster at least as many street soldiers this time around as in 2020, even with all those Proud Boys in prison.

On top of all else, at his Friday event in Aurora, Colorado, Trump brazenly invoked the laws used for internment of Japanese-Americans in WWII as legal grounds for mass roundups and mass deportations of migrants.

There is nothing peaceful about any of this shit folks, and the election is still 24 days away.

Continued thread

The Moral Majority disbanded in 1989, but by then offshoots had appeared: Christian Coalition, Focus on the Family, & Family Research Council. #Evangelical & #Christian voters had largely made the #Republican Party theirs.

#Trump tapped into & exploited…this long history of disaffected voters. In him, a radical-right strain found its voice. Some call #themselves#ChristianNationalists” …but the movement, by any name, has a distinctly different character from your grandmother’s Moral Majority.

@cdarwin

These #Texas oil-igarchs want to turn the US into a #Christofascist nation.

If we don't get big money out of politics, the #US will not remain a democratic republic for much longer. It will be an oligarchy run by #ChristianNationalists. Very similar to how #Afghanistan is run by the #Taliban.

Say goodbye to religious #freedom or most other freedoms that many #Americans mistakenly believe cannot be taken away.
