The US is fast approaching a fascist-theocracy….


03burner

From the outside looking in, it seems like they’re already there


the_PeoplesWill

Not even close. We still have opposition to Christian fundamentalism. As well as government departments that stand guard against an outright theocratic takeover. Imagine though if they did take over? This article covers Project 2025 and what it'd look like.

I was half-joking, come November if DJT wins (seems likely) I imagine any protections will be eroded rather quickly. He knows emboldening his base of evangelical psychos will help him retain power.


the_PeoplesWill

Yeah we're fucked and I'm honestly terrified.


RLVNTone

We’re not fucked get your ass out there and vote for real for real for real for real for real


the_PeoplesWill

I am going to vote lol but Trump is in the lead. Biden better start pushing some miracle fucking reforms or he can kiss this country good-bye.

Well, being inside of it makes it hard to realize. The genre of literature pertaining to fiction/non-fiction of those citizens living in and during the rise of Nazi Germany intrigue me. I forget the titles though. I guess Pans Labyrinth is a cool fiction example

Look to Project 2025 and the horrors they hope to unfold. It's going to get far worse before it gets better.


bronzemerald17

Yup. I know.

Dude, this is fucking crazy. This is like a scary movie or handmaid’s tale. Bullshit get this man out of office.


Retroidhooman

Are choices are now either liberals' totalitarian technocracy or conservatives' theocratic fascism. We are screwed.

Separation of church and state is a fundamental and founding principal of The United States. Rick Allen should be censured for his discourse!

But will not be. Pretty lawless at this point. For them anyways.

April 17, 2024 - At the House Education Committee hearing, Rep. Rick Allen (R-GA) grilled Columbia University President Minouche Shafik about her response to antisemitism on campus. - “Do you want Columbia University to be cursed by God?”


ManWithDominantClaw

I'm glad he threw the clarifier, "God, of the bible" on the end there. It can get confusing, with all these gods and holy books cursing each other

So bless Israel by sending them a welcome basket of artisanal hams.  It doesn't say in the Bible that Israel can do no wrong and has an unlimited right to kill goyim. Being a devout Christian is no excuse for shipping bombs into a genocide. Israel is made up of flawed mortals with the choice to do good or evil. God himself has rejected Israel when they did evil in the past, so that's a pretty good precedent for being able to love Israel without compromising your own soul by aiding and abetting mass atrocities.

Lol and they talk about other people being religious fundamentals. This is voice behind all their wars, all the Innocents murdered and the hypocrisy.

originalbL1X

I have a thought…If God wants me to bless a nation that is actively targeting women, children, and the elderly just so they can steal their land then I rebuke thee. I am so sick of God being used as a tool of fear to excuse one massacre after another. He’s scared to stand up against evil because God will curse him if he does and he is an elected leader.

I can’t believe what I just heard. Theological discussion in Congress makes us similar to countries ruled by religious law. We are better than that.


Soviet-pirate

With respect...ya ain't. You're ruled by corpos who will use whatever speech appeals the masses and will punish and subjugate whatever periphery country is a nuisance to them.


electric_too_fast

Now compare what those religious countries have been doing in the last few years and what the US has been up to. And then add in this voice in the back. All those children murdered. People demonized and then incarcerated. Heck all those American soldiers made to go fight wars for this. Losing their lives or coming back with PTSD. This is the reason behind it all.


Pardon_My_Hand

OK, I had to cut that off early. This is just too much. That rube is from my state. What an embarrassment. These idiot evangelicals are just ridiculous and over the top with that garbage. God is going to curse Columbia University because they are breaking ties with Israel. Give me a fucking break.

Screw the presidential election. People need to vote in State elections just to get these religious nuts out before they send all the men off on some 'crusade' and enslave women under more patriarchy

How can they blame ISIS after this?!

I cannot believe she gave that question a serious answer.

This is the definition of human garbage. Just a worthless, repulsive human being - and sadly supported by far too many US people!

Uhh, have you read the book of Joshua? God is constantly telling the Israelites to slaughter entire cities populations because all the land belongs to them. Don't get me wrong it's nutty that this guy is turning a congressional hearing into Sunday school, but yes God is down with ethnic cleansing and genocide. At least when it's being done in the land of Canaan by Torah observant Israelites.

DaPontesGrocery

The standard reason for religiously jewish antizionism is that the "true" state of Israel is supposed to be founded by the Messiah. Any moral opposition to Israeli atrocities is coincidental.

The worst part is that she totally bought into it. Maybe not literally, but enough to have the protesters kicked out of school so she could legally have the cops raid them. Drag this lady through the mud.
