If only christo-nationalists got this.

I'm not even Christian anymore and I'm embarrassed for them at how willfully, cartoonishly oblivious they are to the teachings they claim to want to enforce at the point of a gun.
A real christo-nationalist fascist would put a gun against your head and tell you to welcome and assist people from foreign lands! Give away what you don't need to the less fortunate! Pay your taxes! And love your fucking neighbors like my brown skinned, middle eastern messiah who I embrace as my superior wants, motherfucker!
Republican women can't help but notice that their partisan identity conflicts with their self-image as strong and competent women. "I started to learn what misogyny was, and I started to learn what patriarchy was,"
Better late than never.
no shit. oh I was cool with his whole im rich so can grab at pussies without permission but now he has gone to far. lol.
Targeting lifelong members of the GOP who harbor doubts about another Donald Trump term is a central strategy of the Harris campaign. RVAT's organizers believe there are just enough of these right-leaning voters to push dead-heat swing states like Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin over the top for Democrats.
Because why target voters you can reach when you can hunt unicorns instead?
If you know any women voting for Trump, share this with them
might be the only possible way to get cultists out of the cult is to give them another cult to join. not ideal, but if trump steals the white house again, it's all over
That may be how a lot of people manage addictions. However, when it comes to ideology, leaving one community tends to ripple through a person's life in a way that completely up-ends it. To leave is to lose everything and everyone that's dear to you. The thing is, once that door is opened and everything's already been lost, it becomes easier to question all the other things you were told to believe. I've spent a lot of time in areligious spaces (in-person as well as online) and it's not unusual for former cult members to become full-blown skeptics. The trauma of what they endured provides a strong motivation to avoid becoming duped again in the future.
From the posted article:
Schneider described how she'd been a lifelong Republican and devout evangelical Christian her entire adult life. In 2018, however, "I had an issue with my church." Schneider was an extremely active volunteer but wanted more of a leadership role. But "because I had a vagina," she said, church leadership told her that was not possible. That sent Schneider on a journey of exploring new ideas, including voting for President Joe Biden in 2020.
This is a familiar story, and it gives me hope. It also reminds me to look up cult survivor groups to join, because these people need support now more than ever.
