To integrate these areas of society to focus political will in their direction. It’s chilling to see this emerge so soon, but of course.

Pro public or just did a terrific three part series, which you can listen to on the excellent podcast On the Media

I wonder what sort of sick retribution they have in mind for the “sinners”?

Has always preached.

Did you miss that 1000+ years when the Catholic church not only believed something similar, but put it into practice?

😆

I think this is a branch of Protestantism that seeks the replace and/or replicate the church’s governing power.

All aspects of society under the control of the same ideology, ruled by an authoritarian elite.

Dissent is not just punished, it becomes impossible

This is what Mussolini dreamed of, control over all levers of society:

totalitarianism, form of government that theoretically permits no individual freedom and that seeks to subordinate all aspects of individual life to the authority of the state. Italian dictator Benito Mussolini coined the term totalitario in the early 1920s to characterize the new fascist state of Italy, which he further described as “all within the state, none outside the state, none against the state.”

Americans need to start believing what these people are saying, what they want to install across the country. They're out in the open now, as is Donald Trump telling the public exactly what he intends to do.

We're well past the moment of pretending this couldn't happen in the United States of America.

It is happening. It's happening now with every lie, every distortion, every attempt to denigrate and/or disrupt our democratic institutions. The enemies of democracy are softening the ground with lies, division, ugly aspersions against minority communities, insulting attacks on a woman's ability to choose, think, decide. The movement is attempting to uproot the very foundation of reality, replace it with distorting propaganda, hyperbole and verbal acrobatics, all to support Agent Orange, their Once and Future King

It's all playing out before us. We need to heed the warning and stop the infighting. A strong Pro-Democracy coalition can stop these people at the gate.

Otherwise, we can kiss the country good-bye.

These are evil people with a dark and twisted agenda. They are not in it for the children. They are in it for Trump and Fox News.

Even if they don't know that name for it. Their book preaches it--at length.

The Vatican was especially enamored of the idea, and carried it out for over a millennium.

They not only believe they can rule the world, but also wipe out all the heathens and infidels. And if that doesn't work, throw them in the lake of fire forever!

Their manual only tells them they can do these things, and not once, but dozens of times. Did you not read it?
