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.

The leftists are the real fascists...classic projection
Anybody that disagrees with them is “extreme”.

Excellent! That means Johnson will work for, we the people, he'll keep his promises and get the House back on track! Things are looking up!
The leftist formula: the next Republican to rise to prominence is automatically Hitler, and is automatically worse than the last Republican to rise to prominence (who was also Hitler).
The republican party is utterly useless without Trump. It poses zero danger to any of America’s destroyers.
But, but, I thought people like Bill Maher and Sam Harris assured us that Trump was the *most dangerous* politician in US history and that their hatred of him is reserved for him only and not of all Republicans.
Yes the Rev. 3: 9 people should be afraid, GOOD!
calling christians a “minority” is stupid talk for “ we out number you” not realizing human numbers mean nothing to our God.
These lowlifes are headed for an eternal “global warming”. The amendment refers to different denominations of Christianity. Direct reference would have been to the Church of England. Your historical references and quotes from the deist founders mean nothing. Even a blind squirrel occasionally finds a nut.
Thumbs up to that. Good as they come.
Marxists should be afraid.
Neo-Democrats...
They ever mention that Hitler dispised Christianity as a Jewish religon.
Christofascism
A derivative of the word Christophobic.
A fear of Christ and all things Christian.
the left prefers atheist fascism
“It’s annoying”.
More than annoying. It’s dissembling.
its early days
he was just elected
we are about to find out if johnson is a fighter
“All the right enemies!”
Say what you will about the left, as long as it’s unpleasant, but they seem to have a good sense of the enemies to their fascist causes. Notice how quiet they were about mccarthy?
Mike Johnson is in good company. I was called a Christofascist the other day by a leftist. I’m so proud.
