People really don't want to put a name to the christian nationalist movement. I guess if you refuse to give it a name it doesn't exist? Idfk
5 years ago I told my husband that I would lose my right to choose and he laughed. He said I was panicking over nothing - that would never happen... And yet here we are.
I wish I knew how to better convince people of the increasing threat of this Christian based extremism. They know how to manipulate their runs for office, they said what 50 years ago they were coming for the supreme court so they could overturn Roe? And look, they fucking did it! If they can successfully undermine what is possibly the highest power in our country... They can utterly fuck your state's government, too.
This isn't your classic backwoods KKK Christian BS, this is a much more palatable extremism with a friendly Christian face but it's a movement to push us towards a theocracy none the less. And in a country supposedly based on religious freedom, their progress to push their beliefs onto non believers through legal punishment/persecution should be terrifying. But people just don't see it.
They're too exhausted trying to survive. I am, too, but my gut feeling tells me to get out while I can. If this movement doesn't slow, I don't want to know what this country will look like in 20 years.
