These lunatics seriously viewed The Handmaid's Tale as an instructional video. The Christian fundamentalist takeover of the American is absolutely terrifying. Their agenda, and their eagerness to combine their bankrupt theology with political violence to achieve their goals should keep everyone up at night. They want a world that looks very much like Margaret Atwood's novel, and they want all of us under his eye.

The viciousness, which often verges on flat-out sadism, goes a long way toward explaining the apparently bottomless yearning for Duggar-style propaganda. It's all about reassuring conservative Christians that all this religious oppression and cruelty is justified. The images of smiling blonde children chasing butterflies in a field under the gaze of beatific blonde parents tell a story they desperately want to hear.

Politics in the Age of : Confronting the Domestication of the Unimaginable”

By Henry Giroux in @natcounterpunch

“An upgraded form of fascism with its rabid nativism and hatred of racial mixing is currently at the center of politics in the United States. Traditional liberal values of equality, social justice, dissent, and freedom are now considered a threat to a Republican Party supportive of staggering levels of inequality, white , and racial purity. Yet the lessons of history with its death camps, machineries of torture, and embrace of murderous violence as a political tool are too often ignored - though its mobilizing fascist passions are once again on the horizon.”

Are you ready ? It's time to play MAKE THAT EXCUSE! Remember call for cash to keep God from killing him? Remember all the excuses made for that one? How about all of those preachers who've been arrested for heinous crimes? You answered the call and made-up excuses for every one of them! Well, here's one more!

"US pastor , who believes natural disasters are sent by God to punish people, has fled his flooded home in ."

There is a massive overlap between the kind of person who is most threatened by , and the kind of person whom The Satanic Temple would declare it a matter of practicality to threaten into silence for having been disillusioned or victimized by TST locally.

And when you understand that is designed, on purpose, to only benefit two people — two dipshit Boomers with a history of reactionary, extractive politics — you understand why that overlap isn’t a coincidence, and why the culture that results is only going to hurt more people.

In my time within The Satanic Temple, I reached out to and interviewed probably hundreds of people interested in membership and local involvement.

Many, many people applied because they didn’t have any other community and wanted, if not activism, then refuge — especially after the 2016 election.

It is absolutely my experience that of those who stayed, the ones who spoke up the loudest about wanting to make The better than it was (better at serving its most vulnerable members) were the ones with the most to lose when TST failed — or — to live up to its own values.

Those people ultimately left because raising concerns through “the proper channels” was ignored, or they were purged from membership because their “negative commentary” was declared proof of a conspiracy to harm . (Or because they were friends with someone making that commentary.)

And that’s not unique. That has happened again, and is going to keep happening.

Why?

Think of the people who most resonate with The Temple's purported message about reason, compassion, and escaping — the people who are compelled to seek TST membership in the first place.

Come to think of it, they do tend to skip or gloss over what happens to the people of Jericho after "the walls came tumbling down". 🤔

The rise in "hate incidents" every June (Pride Month🏳️‍🌈) since Trump-Pence began must be an exception to alleged "hate misinformation" data. twitter.com/elonmusk/status/16

Pretty sure being an insufferable prick and an objectively shitty actor has more to do with Kevin Sorbo's dry spell than the fact that he believes in nonsense. Jus' sayin...

Radical Christians and the are still acting out on their Pride Month hatred. The Bud Light and Target boycotts made homophobia more acceptable, and now it's escalating. 🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️✝️ npr.org/2023/08/20/1194932544/
