An American Christian Theocracy is Being Formed in Full View. Is Anybody Paying Attention?
Good and thoughtful Americans of either party, those religious and those not, must absolutely take what's happening seriously. We need to truly start organizing for this eventuality
Letters from an American: April 28, 2024
Senior GOP are not 'challenging democracy' but are working to forcibly impose an autocratic Christian Theocracy across the US which will be violent and intolerant of opposition. Bill Barr, Trump's criminal Attorney General, is a lead figure in this movement. His actions include repeated and gross misinterpretations (or, interpretations of convenience) for our Declaration of Independence and Constitution.
Every action taken by America’s Christian theocrats in waiting, every piece of incredible cruelty ranging from Ron DeSantis’ denying federal funding for children's food programs and incredibly dangerous and deadly attacks on women's reproductive health to political assaults on public education/public school curriculum and LGBTQ/trans Americans to especially include children, are —component pieces of this move towards an eventual American Christian theocracy.
This is all very real. While the media keeps America transfixed on the violent insurrectionist criminal, Trump, his histrionics, salacious stories and really bad wig, America’s Christian Taliban are able to operate in full view and with little challenge.
This is the primary reason why evangelicals and American Christian fundamentalists continue to support, even if it seems to be imperceivable, the criminal Trump’s potential second presidency. To regain power and free himself of his multiple indictments, Trump will follow their orders and, probably, do about anything. I wrote years ago that I see Trump as ready to bid for the contract to build the first sets of Concentration Camps targeting American citizens. Doesn’t seem so far fetched anymore, does it?
So many Americans continue to dismiss and/or laugh all this off at our individual risk and nation’s great peril. Trump is their deadly idiot front who’s well known and repeated calls for targeted executions could quickly become real and enforced. That Trump clearly appears to be experiencing progressive early dementia makes his role even more dangerous as these others will cover for him while acting on his behalf.
When Trump's attorneys argue in front of a deeply dysfunctional, amoral and unethical Christian fundamentalist SCOTUS that political assassination could be considered a presidential act, they are not using this analogy lightly or figuratively but quite literally.
Take them seriously - it's not a joke.
A question I haven’t heard much considered is that if Trump’s push for ‘unconditional immunity,’ where about everything a President does on ‘behalf’ of the Office is bought into at about any level by SCOTUS, Biden would then be fully within his right to arrest and jail Trump due to the threat he poses to our nation and our Democracy combined with his record of violent incitement and treason.
Why not? Maybe The Biden White House should put any opening SCOTUS is likely to give Trump to an immediate test.
A key question should Trump regain the White House is if the US military would be as complacent as the GOP Christian theocrats believe. If the US military would simply and blindly act on their unlawful and criminal orders to move against American citizens. I think not, but that could also change
Good and thoughtful Americans of either party, those who are religious and those who are not, must absolutely take what's happening seriously. We need to truly start organizing ourselves for this eventuality. And this included were Biden to win an undeniable victory margin.
Our nation, American citizens and our nation’s future is at risk in ways that are perhaps greater and even more dangerous than that of our Civil War period
More soon….
