"Today the Heritage Foundation preemptively accused the Biden administration of cheating in the 2024 election and warned that Biden might try to hold the White House ā€œby force.ā€ It said that Biden and his administration could ā€œcircumvent constitutional limits and disregard the will of the voters should they demand a new president.ā€

Almost laughable, almost. Google: ''Psychological projection''

I wonder how that might apply to the many Evangelical churches which have openly supported Trump these past several years.

To get a better sense of their mission and why they support Trump, you should read the New Section of this Substack called, Why Project 2025 Will Ruin YOUR Life. project2025istheocracy.…

Read the parts about Christian Nationalism and New Apostolic Reformation

I am reading Project 2025, and I find this helps to understand more deeply where everything fits in. I also recommend Strongmen by Ruth Ben-Ghiat to understand the fascist progaganda and playbook were are facing better. However, we cannot ta…

This Christian Nationalism concept that props up the "Christian family model" bizarrely has absolutely nothing to do with Christianity! Hypocrisy was Jesus' biggest pet peeve and if He hadn't resurrected He'd be rolling around in His grave about now. Evangelicals who go around quoting the Bible and profess to live by its word (parables were not meant to be taken literally) have bought into everything Anti-Christ.

Speaking about the Antichrist mentioned in the scriptures (St. John and St. Paul), …

Yes, and we can all speculate as to what his pet peeves were. But there is no way to reliably establish that or anything else about him. So it is irrelevant. We have to make up our own minds what is relevant, and religion doesn't make the grade. Religion is a stumbling block, a counter-force, with respect to democratic self government.

I don't agree. Christian Nationalism may be, but religion has existed with democratic self-government in the US since our founding. We just have to be careful to keep the two separate--and not try to impose our beliefs on others.

If something is arguably 'good', it does not need religion to make it so. Religion, on the other hand, focuses authority in a single source. Political authority resides solely with the people -- all the people -- not demi-gods or any other kind of god.
