We were being warned about the dangers of Christian "Conservatism" back in the 1980's the GOP has been diabolically ingenious about exploiting, thereby enabling fringe ideology that should have nothing to do with governance.
The Christian right has become an increasingly powerful force in American politics at every level, from school boards to the presidency. Its roots trace back decades.

Just got a survey invitation from @washingtonpost.com
I'm done with the sycophantic support of a criminal government, loss of principled journalists, both-siding, and general untrustworthiness. I'm sad about this - was formerly a favorite newspaper.

Seriously, how can anyone remain a subscriber of the Washington Post? Its owner is shamelessly aiding and abetting this dictator wannabe. Opinions from the WaPo editorial board is now only propaganda.
After reading this, I asked a visiting friend how he could possibly remain a subscriber of the WaPo, given this sycophantic Editorial Opinion.
At first, he guess the headline was fake - it's not. Then he cancelled.

Requesting public records is called "improper intrusion" by the White House. This is straight out of the narcissistic playbook!
It's known as "Projection" when they accuse you of exactly what they are already doing. @maxbernstein.bsky.social
