The problem is that many of these extreme radicals would end up in the Senate. And many Representatives could end up in the House. The religious right is poised to try to elect record numbers of THEIR people to Congress. Just look at the prospective candidates and who they are. Many are stealth candidates who secretly hide their real loyalties.
Moore was a litmus test and he will likely end up in the Senate. I am not confident that a Democrat will win in Alabama. One reason the supposed GOP establishment is under fire is because THEY HAVE NOT ALREADY DELIVERED CHRISTIAN GOVERNMENT.
They also have not passed making abortion felony murder. And they have not passed laws making being gay criminal. Add a number of other egregious demands and we end up being Christianized by fixed elections.
Sadly such calamity can happen here. Look at what is happening already. We must not only resist we must fight even unfairly if necessary. We cannot worry about a fair fight in this war on America.

(5,604 posts)have lost none of their hatred, greed and narcissism. One of them is Andrew Womack, a batshit crazy wacko in Colorado, who appears on your local TV screen several times a week, and has a number of radio shows around the country. This is the clown who claims he has raised people from the dead over the phone, and also informs us that his friend has invented a car that runs on water.
I use him as an example because he is one of the hucksters who has raked in millions from the rubes, and who yesterday said again that Christians can't vote for Democrats because they're "pro-abortion" and "pro-homosexuality".
He also has a "college" called Charis Bible College" where you can learn to be an ignorant cult rube like him.

(100,070 posts)The sad thing is we think it can't get any worse. I don't have the same optimism about 2018 as the rest of you do. I think it's going to get worse. Trump has emboldened the absolute worst in society - the neo nazis, the white supremacists, and the ultra far right extreme Christians. They will use this to win. It's going to get scary.
