The Christan right only supports Isreal because they believe all jews need to be in Isreal to bring about the rapture. I shit you not.

I can't believe this nutjob reached the highest ranks of the military. Was he always this irrational or did something change in his brain chemistry when he entered tRump's orbit?

Outside every US base is a wacko religious organization trying to get soldiers into “their army”.

My buddy tried to get me in one when we were stationed overseas. The International Church of Christ was the cult. Definitely a cult btw. Late night early mornings doing bible study which was really just getting people super tired and indoctrinating them.

I never went and when he got another buddy to go, my other buddy told him that yep it’s a cult.

We did a bunch of research and confirmed it and then went down the rabbit hole of cults and deprogramming and found out about a guy named Ted Patrick. That dude was definitely unorthodox and illegal but to deprogram cults back then took guts because cults are dangerous as fuck (Jonestown era). They even had a Congressional hearing about it led by Bob Dole.

The cults went underground and started attacking churches and calling themselves “Calvary”. And also turned into megachurches that use the same wacko tactics cults used forever.

But yea, church and military cults are definitely a thing.

The military is a microcosm of society too so you can’t avoid it.

"Michael Flynn, a Christian nationalist" AND convicted criminal, let's not forget that.

Can someone stuff this cockrabbit up please? As a German I learned as a kid that if you see a Nazi you have to punch them and I get mad to tingles in my right fist.

The American system doesn’t care about the centre. They use the media to trick the centre into thinking there’s no difference between the 2 options, then they just have to mobilise more crazies on their side than the other side. If even 10% of non-voters just got off their ass for an hour once every 4 years, they would control most governments in the US.

The continued narrative of "both sides are the same" is astounding to me.

Absolutely, both sides how to corporate interests, trend towards war-hawking when needed. But one side is trying to expand abortion and trans Healthcare, keep gay marriage legal, keep public education accessible and sufficient(ish), change Healthcare from private profit-hungry companies, and keep voting rights for all.

They are very much not the same. One is the baseline for what should be expected at minimum, and the other is about 30 ft below that line, screaming about library books and arguing some parents don't have a say in their child's Healthcare...

Man, it's just so weird how there's so many Nazi apologists and dog whistles from trump and his cronies. I'm really beginning to wonder if there's something there.... Between this and shit like Trump's $88 dollar baseball or the time his DHS (?) LOST 1488 CHILDREN.

I don't think this trump character is a good guy.

Anyone who pretends to be surprised is a liar.
