RW Christians Would Support Stalin Or Even Hitler If They Promised To Install Theocracy.

These false Christians would support anyone no matter how terrible if they were promised control of the government and society.
Their support of Moore exposes really who they are. All they want is to control other people's lives they do not approve of. I would not take long for them make being gay illegal and even jailing them.

The problem is that the electorate does not take the threat of their radical ideology seriously enough. They are able to hide behind religion to advance their racist, bigoted and tyrannical agenda. The persecution complex is a way to blunt justified criticism and discrimination against their deadly policies.

similar mindsets between RW “Christians” and those who so willingly embraced Hitler and Stalin. I’m sure there were a LOT of similarities. 1984 touches on a lot of related themes, in terms of accepting conflicting “truths” and presentation of an individual (Goldstein) or groups (Eurasia/Eastasia) to project hate toward. I think Orwell integrated a lot of what the Nazis did into that book.

(and telling them to pound sand when I gained majority)

YES. x1000000000000000.

It is not about any heathens' salvation.

It is about them being RIGHT.

Deserves a much wider audience. And some MAJOR pushback from the mainstream faith communities.

they'll get decisions that allow these things/laws at the state level if not the federal.

The Supreme Court could make Christianity the law of the land by fiat or make it a virtual reality.

Look at all the inroads they have made with the help of the GOP and now Trump.
