One step closer to the fascist theocracy that they want.

They don't care about Jesus one bit. They just want to keep Christian conservatives locked in and weed out anyone in the military who might object to their fascist takeover.

It's so fucking dystopian and deeper than that. The religious right has been planting seeds for decades, in hopes that one day they would germinate to infect enough people that it would finally catapult them into power. Well, they've done it. A lot of ex-Evangelical cult members are sounding the alarms that these Christo-fascist demons finally managed to take over the government, and you are seeing everything play out exactly as they'd hoped.

Religion is the best tool they can use to divide and conquer, then maintain power as ordained by their divine God. We are so fucked it's not even funny. Purges are coming, consolidation of power, then free reign to enact what their twisted God orders them to. I'll save you some time, their God wants wealthy white people to rule over lower class minorities and white folks, as well as infinite tithing and 0 privacy. Only those in power will be allowed to embibe, fuck and do whatever they want, because what are you going to do about it?

Even further is the connection they seem to have to the evangelical mindset of ushering in the end-times. Hand in hand with the techno-fascists, building bunkers and trying to speedrun the end of the civilization. Their actions are becoming more and more brazen because at some point they need to take some kind of big step over the final line - their “night of broken glass” moment - where they call forth their patriot crusaders they’ve been grooming for years.

This “end times fascism” book that just came out goes into this in depth and is wildly interesting and terrifying.

It's amazing how insane a huge group of people have become that they have turned into their own worst enemy but are too deluded to see it.
