Christianity?
“Satanic cults” where everyone agrees Christianity is the one true religion but some people just decide to side with the bad guy because they’re bad is hilarious on its face and it’s wild it keeps causing these panics.
This is a part of Christian Nationalism. Their strategy is to say that leaders of groups they don’t agree with are literally possessed by demons. This is their plan to dehumanize the opposition. They are very careful to mention going to war with, and killing, the demons. You can see the slippery slope. This is very intentional language.
Fuck it. I’ll get possessed by a progressive demon that taxes billionaires and corporations at a fair rate, over following a god that supports bigotry against LGBTQ people and laughs at children’s drowning in a river filled with razor wire, any fuckin day of the week.
It goes hand in hand with them claiming all their opposition are pedos, as well. Even though if there is any group with a pedo problem, it’s the right wing.
The biggest satanic cult are these republican assholes.
Please don’t insult Satanists like that.
He’s got to be more specific. I belong to at least 3, which one is stealing kids?

shut up tommy nothing that cool is happening. Less people give a fuck about your dumb desert wizard because you are using him as an excuse to hurt people
You sold your children’s souls to a cult the minute you made them salute a piece of colored fabric every day, Tommy. It’s too late to start whining about it now.
Of course he doesn’t like Romney, Romney was one of the only Republicans who voted to convict Trump.
I mean a lot of us lost a lot of older relatives to a cult so I guess turnabout is fair play.
Why is a senator from Alabama at a campaign stop in Utah?
Mormons have money.
He’s not completely there for himself, though this trip is certainly self serving or he would do it. He’s there to put his weight behind a candidate for Mitt Romney’s senate seat. A MAGAT who has been endorsed by Trump.
It’s goofy as hell. House members and senators can get donations and contributions from people anywhere. I’m sure it could be funneled to circumvent, but I would expect laws that candidates be only allowed to get them from entities and people in their geographic constituencies would at least have some kind of positive effect.

Mostly rich folks with right wing agendas that benefit themselves though. It was mostly the rich right wingers that funded Jan6 - looking at Ginny Thomas.

Out of state donations help out a lot of Democrats in red area too. The difference tends to be Republican candidates get mega-donors and corps from out of state, while Dems get lots of small donation from private citizens throughout the country.
The 2020 Senate races in Georgia, Kentucky and Texas come to mind. They had popular Dem candidates that were getting donations from all over because of the attention their races were getting.

This dipshit hates America. Get the country back to which god? This is a secular country. Go fuck yourself with that nonsense.
This is a secular country.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of people in this country who disagree. They try to twist the words of the founders to imply freedom of Christian religion. Even some of my more reasonable family members, who won’t be voting for Trump, still think this is a Christian nation.
Freedom of means nothing without also having a freedom from. Also, the people twisting the words are doing just that - it doesn’t take much to blow up the “this is a xtian nation” narrative at all.
Can you imagine sending your eighteen year old son to play football for this guy? Must’ve been quite interesting if your eighteen year old son also happened to have an abundance of melanin.
This is just a quiet part out loud thing again. Remember, to most American evangelicals, anything less than a devotion to evangelical Christianity is satanism. It’s a binary thing to them, so whether you’re actually Jewish, or Hindu, or atheist, or whatever, it doesn’t matter; if you aren’t American evangelical Christian, then you are Satanist. I’m not being hyperbolic, this is a core tenet of American evangelical Christianity.
Make no mistake: Catholics, Lutherans, Anglicans, Christians Universalists, Christians who happen to vote Democrat, and other Christian or near-Christian faiths will not be spared. This is certainly a religious movement, but it does not have Jesus of Nazareth at its head.
This movement has more in common with the Westboro hate/terrorism group than with orthodox Christianity, and Christians who do not espouse the right political hatred will absolutely be labeled Satanists too.

They won’t spare their own, either. Fascists turn on their own for bullshit purity tests every time. This is always just a grab for power and religion is just the excuse.
Yep. Look no further than the spats between Marge and Bobo for a preview. Or between tiny d and…well, nearly anyone that’s ever worked for him.
My favorite thing was noticing how many of them also call any non-xtian religion (but also includes Mormons and JW and Catholics, too, lol, WUT) “pagan”.
First time I ran across such a thing, I was like…“wait, wait, wait, what?” in the middle of one of them going through a Gish Gallop of evangelical bullshit.
You are 100% correct.
"Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, “Don’t do it!” He said, “Nobody loves me.” I said, “God loves you. Do you believe in God?”
He said, “Yes.” I said, “Are you a Christian or a Jew?” He said, “A Christian.” I said, “Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?” He said, “Protestant.” I said, “Me, too! What franchise?” He said, “Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?” He said, “Northern Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?”
He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?” He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region.” I said, “Me, too!”
Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912.” I said, “Die, heretic!” And I pushed him over."

He is a first term senator, he has only been elected once so far.

He keeps upstaging their satire
