Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Feck off
Of course he doesn’t like Romney, Romney was one of the only Republicans who voted to convict Trump.
This is a part of Christian Nationalism. Their strategy is to say that leaders of groups they don't agree with are literally possessed by demons. This is their plan to dehumanize the opposition. They are very careful to mention going to war with, and killing, the demons. You can see the slippery slope. This is very intentional language.

This is just a quiet part out loud thing again. Remember, to most American evangelicals, anything less than a devotion to evangelical Christianity is satanism. It's a binary thing to them, so whether you're actually Jewish, or Hindu, or atheist, or whatever, it doesn't matter; if you aren't American evangelical Christian, then you are Satanist. I'm not being hyperbolic, this is a core tenet of American evangelical Christianity.
Make no mistake: Catholics, Lutherans, Anglicans, Christians Universalists, Christians who happen to vote Democrat, and other Christian or near-Christian faiths will not be spared. This is certainly a religious movement, but it does not have Jesus of Nazareth at its head.
This movement has more in common with the Westboro hate/terrorism group than with orthodox Christianity, and Christians who do not espouse the right political hatred will absolutely be labeled Satanists too.

Stop trying to be relevant, Tommy. It's not gonna happen.

The biggest satanic cult are these republican assholes.
Please don't insult Satanists like that.
Why is a senator from Alabama at a campaign stop in Utah?
Mormons have money.
It's goofy as hell. House members and senators can get donations and contributions from people anywhere. I'm sure it could be funneled to circumvent, but I would expect laws that candidates be only allowed to get them from entities and people in their geographic constituencies would at least have some kind of positive effect.
Out of state donations help out a lot of Democrats in red area too. The difference tends to be Republican candidates get mega-donors and corps from out of state, while Dems get lots of small donation from private citizens throughout the country.
The 2020 Senate races in Georgia, Kentucky and Texas come to mind. They had popular Dem candidates that were getting donations from all over because of the attention their races were getting.

Mostly rich folks with right wing agendas that benefit themselves though. It was mostly the rich right wingers that funded Jan6 - looking at Ginny Thomas.

I’m sure they all cheered since that is their goal?
Can you imagine sending your eighteen year old son to play football for this guy? Must've been quite interesting if your eighteen year old son also happened to have an abundance of melanin.
When I think of a satanic cult in Alabama, Tommy, I think of the largest terrorist organization in our history, the KKK.
Ever been to one of their meetings, Tommy?

We’re doing this again?
Well, conservatives hate progress, so...
Are these satanic cultists in the room with us now?
Definitely yes here's my Satanic Temple membership card.
I uh... Play D&D, so yes I guess?
I play MTG so I'm technically a sorcerer?
I'm a dungeon master so I'm technically God.
