Doug Mastriano has called the separation of church and state a “myth.”

Ted Cruz: “We need to do a much better job as evangelists. Evangelists for Jesus, yes, but also in the public sphere as evangelists for liberty, for our values.”

Here's the gal Trump says he's considering for VP for his 2024 run.

Just as I though, a scam just to sell merch

You wanna see how crazy Whell's World is, head over to https://thefederalist.com

These are the folks who are funding (with $millions) the takeover of our judicial system by their adherents, all the way to SCOTUS. We're doomed as a democracy if they succeed, and they're VERY determined to do just that.

Such BS. You're quoting 1/2 of the poll results. Typical of you to cherry-pick facts to suit your narrative.

https://www.politico.com/news/magazi...ation-00057736

The real story is that the majority of those who might support it - most of whom are evangelicals who we observed earlier are at the nadir of their political influence - also agree that it would be unconstitutional to do so. Of those who say they support it, 17% are Dems, FWIW.

That link says nothing about declaring the US a "christian nation." It does say: Adult individuals should be protected from religious or ideological coercion in their private lives and in their homes.

Is the word "christian" to you like garlic to a vampire?

These quotes are nothing more than a reflection of the debate about "separation of church and state" argument that has been around for ages. And the Cruz quote is more a political statement than a religious one.

And that whack-job Green is the AOC of the right. I'm not terribly impressed with her as a reference point for anything.

Really dude, maybe leave the night light on so you can sleep better. Maybe have someone check under the bed tonight to make sure no evangelists are under there.

Plays into the narrative of "You aren't against your own kind, are you?" being used by the "conservatives" and Reich-wingers.

I thought you said "No one's defending Christian Nationalism."

Yer boy, John Durham, just spend 3.5 years and millions of dollars trying to prove that the Mueller investigation was a hoax and failed miserably. Try to keep up.

If you're inferring a defense in any of my posts on this topic, you're trying to insert something that's not there.

Do you mean the Mueller investigation that found no evidence of Russian collusion!??! You're hilarious!!

Durham isn't trying to prove the Mueller investigation was a hoax. Did you pull that idea out of the left-wing echo chamber?

Durham has spent 3.5 years and millions of dollars to prove that, at least in Washington DC, lying to the FBI is not a crime.

Paul Krugman, what to tool.

From your post:

And yes, I mean radicalization. We aren’t just talking about an ordinary shift in voting behavior. Much of rural America seems to be turning into a one-party region in which people are actually afraid to express dissent from their Biden-hating neighbors.

Kinda sounds like your average cocktail party in Manhattan or Hollywood. Just substitute the word "Republican" for "Biden".
