MODERATORS
This was all over the place yesterday.
My question is, who the hell listens to this guy describe himself as a prophet and as the second coming of Moses and nods their head in agreement?
I can't imagine many Christians agreeing with this.
But I've been wrong before.
The National Association of Christian Lawmakers. A group that believes it's their divine mandate to turn the US into a bona fide theocratic state following their particular brand of crazy. (read: christian nationalists)
The lunatics have taken over the asylum long ago in US politics. The Trumpers want fascism and they'll do anything to get it.
that’s an insult to people who are in mental asylums. they have far more common decency and integrity than to support Trump’s policies. and in fact, I doubt Trump cares about mentally ill people. he’s the one proposing cutting welfare, he’s the one who gutted the only effort towards improving healthcare in the US — albeit it was poor and cowardly, but an effort nonetheless — and he is the one who promotes fascist ideology. and guess what fascism did to disabled people?
TONS of preachers refer to themselves as prophets.
Johnson is in the mainstream of southern Christianity, just a little "religious" (which means "batshit, but in a way we're ok with").
If you haven't been in Evangelical culture, it's hard to believe how ordinary this guy is. Remember, the house Republicans picked him unanimously. He's a familiar, trusted type to them, as loony as that seems to non-evangelicals.
Guy is a closeted homosexal that hates himself so much that he wants to kill all gay people. We need to treat him like the threat he is and remove him from office.
