Ideological purity.
Compromise as weakness.
A fundamentalist belief in scriptural literalism.
Denying science.
Unmoved by facts.
Undeterred by new information.
A hostile fear of progress.
A demonization of education.
A need to control women's bodies.
Severe xenophobia.
Tribal mentality.
Intolerance of dissent and a pathological hatred of the US government.
They call themselves the 'Tea Party'. They can call themselves 'Conservatives', and they can even call themselves 'Republicans', though Republicans certainly shouldn't.
But we should call them what they are - The American Taliban.

I don't think this is a surprise for anyone. Conservative Christian zealots have historically been far more dangerous than Muslim ones.
I can see the appeal of a 3rd party to the Left of what the Democrats offer to fight against this trend.

If you have read my jeremiads about dominionists, you know why I am a fierce advocate of keeping church and state separate — using a meter of armor plate if necessary.

They are usually Baptists, whose social strictures (notably their hatred of sex) have poor or absent honest scriptural basis, or they are Calvinists, favorites of plutocrats because a key tenet is that worldly success correlates with success in getting a limited-edition invite to the Kingdom upon passing.

Imo both doctrines are corrosive to a free society, and lately their vanguard has been getting elected (Gan) or appointed (Gamy Bony Ferret) to high office.

Opinion: Marjorie Taylor Greene's words on Christian nationalism are a wake-up call

Recent comments about Christian nationalism by Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert mark an alarming turn, writes Amanda Tyler, who argues that Christians have a special responsibility to step up at this critical moment to reject an ideology that distorts both the Christian faith and...

I'd to laugh that this could be ascribed to only one side of US politics when it clearly applies to both. Don't let me get in the way of the political hatred in your country though because the same shit applies in pretty much every Western country these days in respects to their own government of course.

Funny that. Lookin at you, Putin.

The researchers conclude, a little chillingly, that “the core ideology of conservatism stresses resistance to change and a justification of inequality.”

Is Political Conservatism a Mild Form of Insanity?

A meta-analysis revealed that several psychological variables predict political conservatism, including death anxiety and system instability.

We already know they’re mentally deficient.

Did you read the article? They describe what the fuq kind of reality Trumpers are living in. Rational people might not understand but they can take note that some people chose Q over reality.

OTOH, "Conservative Christians" (a horribly inaccurate term) are trying to subvert school systems. That is real and a threat to this society.

Oh, hi.

How about citing something said 2500 years ago and calling it Grade A advice.

That was pretty funny.

You can cite Jesus too, if you like. Don't your kind believe if you are rich it is because God is on your side? Where in the scriptures does it say that?

Yes, I'm saying you are delusional if you are claiming Democrats and Republicans are the same.

If she did, she fucked them and forced the SCOTUS to release the decision too early. If they lose the election over it, the democrats will protect abortion with federal law and that trumps state law.
