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.

I can remember the UPROAR when JFK was hammered for ‘being a Catholic”.
The REAL Fascism is the U.S. government class. The REAL Nazism is the Muslim community.
Daily Beast are just making s**t up and trying to project their opposition as being what their side actually is.
After the libs claimed Ryan was. Conservative, I will reserve my judgement until he has to make a hard choice. That will be the best test for me.
You have to start with the understanding that the writer thinks Donal Trump is dangerous, while apparently, to him, Joe Biden is not. Nuff said.
“The most dangerous movement in American politics today is not Trumpism. It is Christofascism.”
Every so often, especially recently, we see posts along the lines of “I just don’t get it. Why do so many American Jews support anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian Democrats? It makes no sense.”
Mr. Rothkopf’s column is the answer those questions. The fear/hatred of American Christians among many on the American Jewish left outweighs their affinity with or sympathy for Israel.
They are recent immigrants or children of immigrants. Nuland is another one. Most of the Squad are. Nimrata Haley is another. It’s truly astonishing how many of the children of immigrants despise America. You see it reflected in Academia, in mass shootings, in politics, etc.
We need an immigration moratorium for several decades.
“America was not founded as a Christian nation”
We were not.
When the left is $h!tting itself over this guy, you know he’s a good choice.
Johnson is about to find out. The deep state is pure evil, and our new Speaker better have the balls to defund it, and further, pass legislation banning said deep state from acquiring funds unto itself via any non-congressional budget means.
A made up term used by Leftists to slander some of their opponents.
The fact is the United States is founded as a culturally Christian nation.
That is a nation with respect for a set of ethics found in Christianity and Judaism.
Pagan religions and Islam sanctify murder, rape, theft, and dishonesty. They sanction polygamy and sex with children. They do not believe in equal justice under the law, a key part of the judeo/Christian ethical system.
Christofascism? Really? Come on.
They quote Thomas Jefferson when it suits them. Not reading this crap.
His 'education/indoctrination' on Christanity, informed by a multitude of leftists and Monty Python!
What an absolute maroon this Rothkopf is!
we need mass deportation to go along with it.
First, David Rothkopf there is no such thing as 'Christofascism' anymore than there's 'Journofascism' - that's YOUR way of expressing hatred for Christians.
And besides David, have you noticed the riots and protests in the streets attacking Jews? I suspect those people - people who support the beheading and murdering of children - are much more dangerous than Christians. You're a fool David Rothkopf ...
Comments BUMP!
Early Life
Why would liberals think we would want to convert them. We've suffered them our entire lives here on earth and their stupidity.
I for one am looking forward to a Heaven devoid of Godless freaks and last second converts.
I hope they enjoy the lake of fire they're irrational hated so richly deserves.
I'm a Christen, I never claimed to be a good one.
Understand one thing about the present day DNC they have gone on the record of backing Hillary Clinton’s idea rounding people up for “ deprogramming” or in simple plain English if you ain’t in lockstep you get to go to an American Dachau concentration camp to have your mind made right & has anyone heard/seen a DAMN thing from any Republican member of Congress? Where are the zipless fucks of the GOP???
