So, there is an attack on Christianity from you guys on the left?

Who are 'you guys on the left'? I am a moderate.

You seem to be conflating Christian Nationalism with Christianity and the radical right wing with conservativism.

The Christian Nationalists carried out a hostile takeover of the Republican Party and declared war on democracy.

"How many of our Christians have what I call the goo-goo syndrome: good government? They want everybody to vote. I don't want everybody to vote. Elections are not won by a majority of people. They never have been from the beginning of our country, and they are not now. As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down." -- the late Paul Weyrich

Worse. January 6 was a clue.

You're getting to be worse than Biden.

I know it could be worse. My point was that a huge chunk of swing voters have a mindset of "how bad could it be" - a large enough chunk to swing the election by not turning out. And that is why Biden has to go. That cadre of people will need to see a candidate who is - in their view - demonstrably better than Biden - or they will stay home.

You'd probably hate an evangelical state more than the rest of us.

I’m not advocating for it either. Of course I would. I’ve watched The Handmaid’s Tale 😂

No need to go to extremes…

Then they deserve what they unleash on the rest of us.

I understand. The Democrats should be able to nominate a candidate that can at least remember names. Even better, articulate the threat posed  by current Republicans.

I just watched this last night and was impressed. It is the sort of thing the radical false profit Christian right does do well.

"The appeal to majority [fallacy]: ... something is said to be true because the majority of people ,[supposedly] think it is true. It's not hard to see why it's a fallacious way of arguing: the truth of a proposition is in no way connected to how many people [allegedly] believe it."

Gay marriage, teaching evolution, integration, women in the workplace, opposing school prayer, etc, and so on are considered attacks on Christianity -- by the radical dominionists..

wtf is red mist? You are wringing your hands about Joe Biden mixing up names; but I think border security is your real agenda. That is Trump's appeal. People will vote for a rapist felon moron because they think he'll be tough on "illegal" immigration.

This is perfect. It should be a DNC as campaign if it isn't.
