SCOTUS is everything Christians like the ones from my church worked hard for. I've been seen sermons from the pulpit in the opinions from the bench. 1/ Affirmative action? It was called "Discrimination against white people as a demonic perversion of MLK Jr.'s dream." 2/

#EvangelicalismIsUnreformable because it is authoritarian in nature. They believe "whoever is not with me, is against me" and so they work to crush anything they oppose or anyone who even dare oppose the most minor thing in the church. 1/ #EvangelicalismIsUnreformable because it's ALWAYS been political. To preserving slavery, and later segregation, and now to the destruction of democracy, Evangelicalism has been a political powerhouse. More so in the last few decades. 2/

One part of the radicalization that bothers me the most isn't just that it's anti-public education and anti-science but that it's also that homeschooling turns children and parents into direct action political activists and foot soldiers for right-wing candidates. 1/ I started thinking about this again after my original tweet that the Texas Homeschooling Coalition was seeing increased interest in homeschooling amid the COVID-19 crisis. I'm sure the GOP is thinking about it as well. 2/

*Heavy Sigh* This chucklehead, Couy Griffin is from the town I was born in and grew up in. I know folks in his family. This is my roots. This is the kind of nonsense I left. 1/ While this may seem on the surface as "small town politics" this has wider reaching implications. Couy Griffin is more than just a County Commissioner. He's one of many Evangelical threats to the United States. @C_Stroop might be interested in this. 2/

1/ Today, just south of me, in Austin Texas, right-wing funded protesters, with some obvious Evangelicals were protesting the stay at home order. (Actually just a trump rally since Gov. @GregAbbott_TX is a Trump bootlicker and already making idiotic moves to reopen Texas) 2/ In the above picture of the gathered plague enthusiasts, you might notice the banner that reads "Texas will not take the mark of the beast." My #Exvangelical eyes rolled very hard. Apocalyptic theology is stupid and dangerous.

Man, what a day. I'm so thankful for @C_Stroop and her strategies to counteract Evangelical nonsense. After this angering scene, things just got weird. 1/ On a break from self imposed isolation, I went out to support a few local businesses in the rural Hill Country. Don't worry, I washed my hands, maintained a safe distance, took sanitizer and limited my contact with folks. 2/

As @profagagne pointed out, #SatanicPregnancy in this context doesn't mean what people think it means. Paula wasn't calling on God to abort people's babies. This is just spiritual warfare talk. So let's get weird. 1/ I have wine now, so let's go down the rabbit hole of Evangelical fascination with spiritual warfare. It's a little (a lot) weird. 2/

Thread: My nephew sent me a link to an article about Evangelical terrorism in Brazil. I haven't really paid attention to Brazil, other than knowing it was right wing clusterf*ck led by a Trumplike maniac named Bolsonaro. But damn, this article is crazy 1/

washingtonpost.com/world/the_amer… If you think Evangelicalism in America isn't scary enough by itself, look at Brazil where it's become a powerhouse in just a few years. Keep your clutching pearls close by, though, because the U.S. is on the same path. 2/

1/ Robert Jeffress declared on Fox News that the move to impeach POTUS had angered Evangelical Christians and that if the effort was successful, would lead to "a Civil War-like fracture in this nation from which our country will never heal." This shouldn't be suprising 2/ Jeffress is a Southern Baptist. The Southern Baptist convention exists as a reaction to abolition in the South. They were strongly opposed to the end of slavery and represented a powerful religious force for the South during the Civil War. civilwarbaptists.com/featured/slave…
