Trump supporters’ calling for an end to women’s suffrage -the canary in the coal mine for further changes to the electoral system.
Pastor J Webbon was one of several influential Trump supporters -expressed disdain for women & women’s rights this month. Most of the others threatened women’s bodily autonomy.
When Timothy Snyder speaks, I listen. Today, he outlines how Trump's nomination of Pete Hegseth represents 13 steps to national destruction. Here's the posting in toto:
"1. Pete Hegseth, Trump's nominee for secretary of defense, has no qualifications for the job. He has never run a large organization and has no national security expertise."
"Trump released a flurry of nominations on Friday evening—apparently hoping that Americans would not notice that several of the nominees share a connection to Project 2025 and Fox 'news' programs.
The most significant nomination is Russell T. Vought to lead the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)."
I learned about Plan B and The Deal in a book I've forgotten. At menses onset tell your child, "You should NOT have unprotected sex, but if you do, you have two days to tell me. There will be no scolding or lectures. I will take care of it and you will go on birth control." The Deal *works.* As a former Duggarite wackjob, I'm certain Christian Nationalists will outlaw all birth control if possible but they think Plan B is potential murder. #PlanB#BirthControl#ChristianNationalism#Theocracy
#Haaretz editorial / The Dangerous Delusion That Donald Trump Is Good for Jews and Israel
[...] why, according to recent polls, do two-thirds of Israelis express a preference for Trump over Harris, but over two-thirds of American Jews staunchly back Harris?
[...] Those U.S. Jews actually lived through one Trump presidency, and fought the violent #antisemitism and anti-Muslim bigotry that marked its term and the anti-democratic insurrection that capped its tenure. They follow, first-hand, the increasingly dark language of racist incitement, threats and Christian nationalism that characterize his campaign speeches. They know he presents a clear and present danger to the conditions upon which American Jews depend to live and thrive, not least because of his encouragement of antisemitism and bigotry, his attack on women's rights, and his explicit commitment to undermining liberal democracy.

Taking America Back for God: Christian Nationalism in the United States by Andrew L. Whitehead & Samuel L. Perry, 2020
Why do so many conservative Christians continue to support Donald Trump despite his many overt moral failings? Why do many Americans advocate so vehemently for xenophobic policies, such as a border wall with Mexico?
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.
