I’m angry about that vote, too.
But saying “I hate democrats” or “I hate the democratic party” feels like a Republican move. It at least feels like it’s playing into their hands.

About that NYT op-ed title…
“You don’t look balanced. You look like beta men who swallowed a fat red pill and washed it down with wine to earn the patriarch’s favor. The “pick me” energy is exhausting.”

“The sooner we spend our energy thinking about what to do next, the sooner that day will come.”
A hopeful, envigorating, thoughtful take on a post-Trumpian world. Very clickworthy.

This was such a rich conversation. If you’re confused by Christian Nationalism, Anthony and I pretty much covered it all, especially how Christianity differs from Christian Nationalism, and what is the goal.

Cult survivor recovery tip: make plans for 9/21. When cultists mix high emotion with collective effervescence and performance, the energy is volatile and intense as it will seem from the outside that they have more power and influence than they actually do. Safe alternatives and self-care are a must

@tialevingswriter.bsky.social This was a hard book for me. Saw many comparisons to my marriage. I highly recommend it to help people understand how some conservative Christians think. Thank you.

Join us for our next discussion meeting to talk about "A Well Trained Wife" by @tialevingswriter.bsky.social and the effects of Fundamental Christian beliefs on our political landscape. Religion should be separate from politics, but we will be discussing the insidious ways which it's not.

I encourage you to research the “7 Mountains Mandate.” This is a movement that believes Christians should own the following spheres of influence on our country: family, religion, education, media, arts and entertainment, business, and government.

I keep thinking about all those studious fundamentalist homeschoolers who studied government and memorized key documents about how our system works.
And about how Vought and Johnson must be having hemorrhoids trying to tolerate Elon Musk.

Trump isn’t in control of Musk. He won’t stop him because he can’t. The right thinks he’s daddy-god and the left calls him a king, but he’s neither. Even the Christian fundamentalists have no power over the man with the money.

I remember when I first began trauma therapy I was so convinced I’d was responsible for every bad thing that had happened.
My therapist said, “You are not powerful enough to be responsible or to blame for everything.”

I think something progressives and democrats might not realize about evangelical MAGAs is how conditioned they are to accept broken promises.
When evangelical Trump supporters chose a president who promised to take their personal worries seriously, they were choosing in accordance to their faith.
