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.

Indeed the media is being trapped like a rat with no words of worth the panic of liberalism socialism being unmasked.
They hate Trump for the same truths.

He’s got all the right enemies.
What's he going to do, wrap everything in purple drapes?

This is a stealth aristocracy, a small minority claiming the power to ignore the law, punish their political enemies at will, and rob the society blind.
Well they hated former Justice David Souter, at one time, too.
“What the Founding Fathers feared MOST was mob rule”
In understanding why France has been such an intellectual center of the Left in western Europe you only have to compare the conduct of the French Revoltion - mob rule to the nth degree - with the American revolution.

I always decide whether or not I read on by looking at the source so I decided not to read. But I will take your word over them anyday
The foundation of America was solidly Judeo-Christian. There is no State Church. (Thank you, John Leland and James Monroe.)
Now that he is speaker, we will have justice in our land. The rule of law and an end to all the corruption. It’s truly a glorious day to be an American.
No more will criminals and psychopaths rule over us.
Read the whole article if you want to be thoroughly disgusted, but you will know your enemy.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxx
I’ll take your word for it
More dangerous than Donald Trump?! God forbid!!-sarc This article makes me happy
He’s against abortion so he’s an enemy.
The Marxists (formerly known as Democrats) cannot stand anyone who hates their satanic sacrament.
Hopefully the Dems will finally follow thru on their promise to move to Canada.
“Christofascism”?
Rush Limbaugh started the trend with the term “feminazi”, but he was joking. Liberals like to invent new terms because it makes them feel like intellectuals. e.g. “intersectionality”, “white privilege”, “carceral society”, “microagression”, going all the way back to “dialectical materialism”. The terms have an adjective and a noun blended together. In the case of “Christofacism” the idea is to make us forget that we used the term “Islamofacism” for ISIS and the Taliban. They are so smart and so learned that they will remind us of the Spanish Inquisition, and say “see, Hamas is no worse than Christians” and think we are stupid enough not to know the difference in relevance between what happened in the 15th century and what happened 2 weeks ago.
“Christofascism”
Much better than a devil worshipping communist. The dark side is getting scared.
“more dangerous than Trump”
Lions and tigers and bears Oh My! Trump is dangerous only to deep state grifters, racists (the new kind), endless foreogn wars, and Islamofacists.
Right - which is why AT THE TIME THE CONSTITUTION WAS WRITTEN AND RATIFIED multiple states had their own 'state religion' at their own core.... Pennsylvania was a Quaker state, for example. I'm not going to bother re-re-researching the rest of them, except to say that at was all the way to 1833 before the last official state religion fell by the wayside (Massachusetts/Congregationalism).
So Jefferson was right at the Federal level, but not at the state level, and in any event, this Republic was certainly formed from rights that the founders nonetheless believed were God-given.
calling christians a “minority” is stupid talk for “ we out number you” not realizing human numbers mean nothing to our God.
