Peter Thiel has implied that giving women the right to vote was a mistake. He’s also a billionaire, self-professed “Christian,” & longtime critic of “multiculturalism” who bankrolled JD Vance in 2022. Some Christian extremists thus embrace him despite his homosexuality (he was outed by Gawker). 1/Image 2/ huffpost.com/entry/peter-th…

Americans are sleepwalking into something they don’t understand. Only 9% of CHRISTIANS (and 6% of Americans) share the Christian Right’s extreme “biblical worldview,” per Family Research Council (FRC) president Tony Perkins. This is based on FRC’s OWN DATA - Me w/ @RepRiggleman. 1/ 2/ As Denver & I discussed, Perkins is the immediate past president of the Council for National Policy (CNP), the Christian Right’s umbrella. Yes, the CNP includes Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts & SCOTUS kingpin Leonard Leo.

The RNC’s new platform aims to dupe the media by removing express language about banning abortion nationwide, while retaining “dog whistle” language about the 14th Amendment. It’s a sly move bc most people are unaware of plans to use the 14th to ban abortion nationwide. 1/ 2/
