Word for Today

Christofascism refers to the use of the Christian religion as a cover for totalitarian ideology. Also, Christofascist is the correct title for a member of the, formerly known as, Republican party. n.b., a person who actually walks, doesn't just talk or photo op, the teachings of Christ is probably not a Christofascist. e.g., Carter, Jimmy

The Republican candidates in the 2022 midterm elections are a grab-bag of outlandish extremists, including anti-choice false doctors, election deniers, and actual January 6th rioters.

Yet even with all these terrible candidates, I never would have imagined this one exists: a Holocaust fanfiction writer.

Johnny Teague, an evangelical pastor, business owner, and candidate for Texas’ 7th congressional district, published The Lost Diary of Anne Frank in 2020. (source) 

Teague postulates that Anne Frank wanted to be ‘rescued by Jesus.’ Naturally this man, devoid of the thinnest, most infinitesimal shred of intelligence or self-awareness and completely bankrupt of decency, is running for office. He wants to be the Christofascist House Rep for Texas’ 7th congressional district (which includes the southwestern portion of Houston) with taxpayer provided fat salary and all the big bennies.

I realize that there are and have been larger piles of unmitigated, steaming, diarrhoeal elephant shit in the Christofascist Party but this, THIS, truly blows my mind. For the pandering, poisonous pissbrains already in office (hopefully not for much longer), here, lemme introduce you to our country's Constitution:

The First Amendment provides that Congress make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting its free exercise. It protects freedom of speech, the press, assembly, and the right to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. (source)

How low can humanity sink? No, don't tell me—I already know the difference between our fairy tale history and reality.

If you haven’t already done so, VOTE! Do it while we still can.
