Here’s Why Mike Johnson Is More Dangerous Than Donald Trump
The Daily Beast via Yahoo ^ | October 26th, 2023 | David Rothkopf

Posted on 10/26/2023 1:54:28 PM PDT by Mariner

The most dangerous movement in American politics today is not Trumpism. It is Christofascism. With the election of Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, the organized effort to impose the extreme religious views of a minority of Americans on the entire country, at the expense of many of our most basic freedoms, took a disturbing step forward.

Despite Speaker Johnson’s claims of being a constitutional “originalist,” via his elevation by a unanimous vote of his Republican colleagues he has moved America closer to having precisely the kind of government America’s founders most feared.

Thomas Jefferson said he viewed with “solemn reverence that act of the whole of the American people” which established “a wall of separation between church and state.” George Washington approved a treaty that explicitly stated, “The government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion.” The very First Amendment in America’s Bill of Rights states “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.” The principal author of the Constitution, James Madison, in his treatise, “Memorial and Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments,” described 15 reasons why the U.S. government must avoid backing any religion.

They're going after this man, without any knowledge of how he will govern the House.

Just because of who he is.

Read the whole article if you want to be thoroughly disgusted, but you will know your enemy.

“Christofascism”?

What the hell is wrong with these sick leftists? How did they get so brainwashed? Were they abused as children? These people are absolutely sick and evil.

Listening to his opening statement. “Bipartisan this”, “Bi-partisan that.” Oh no.

So all those Trump haters, especially those on this site, should be attacking him like they do Trump.

Here’s Why Mike Johnson Is More Dangerous Than Donald Trump

Really? How many times has he been arrested, prosecuted, impeached, spied on, phones tapped, criminally undermined, compromised, and had his home raided by members of the armed police state?

Get real.

1st generation “American”, Jewish, Council of Foreign relations magazine editor, tight with the Clintons.... says America was not founded as a Christian nation.

Got it.

Lots of immigrants and their first generation whelps get tiresome with their constant lecturing over what America is and is not. The Squad is full of them. Trump’s Jamaican Judge is another, and millions more are pouring in. It’s annoying...

This is SOOO tiresome at this point.

The Republicans could have chosen Don Bacon and the leftist would have considered it dangerous.

ONLY Democrats should be in charge, in their view.

So we might as well go for broke and choose who we want to choose and to hell with what they think.

Here’s Why Mike Johnson Is More Dangerous TO THE LEFT Than Donald Trump

The most dangerous movement in American politics today is not Trumpism. It is FREEDOM/LIBERTY. PROTECTED by the Constitution as written and originally understood and intended. Freedom is something the government-loving Left loates and despises.

But freedom is what every true American (and MANY others around the world) love and will fight for.

Go Johnson. If he's the man, what would it take for him to be President in 2028 after Trump is gone? Trump's VP now? maybe. Whoever it is, President in 2028 MUST continue MAGA by restoring our Free Constitutional Republic!!!
