Wallnau openly expressed what the religious right would like to see happen. The public ignores the intentions of radical Christians at their own peril And Trump policies and support in emboldening them into believing that they can establish a Christo fascist government in this country.
The Mueller investigation aside there are a lot of other things happening that seem impossible, but are they? I know that I seem to be hyperbolic but from my point of view I do not thing that I am. For one the Dominionist movement really is a serious threat. The religious freedom is just one of the manifestations of their radical ideologies. The religious right is NOT religion but ideology at its core. It is white supremacist and tyrannical in its mission.
Wallnau may be considers a crazy outlier and be labeled as a false profit, but he is calling on the religious right and Christians to rid the country of Democratic politicians.
I do think it is important to listen to these crazy rumbling, but we must take notice of where we are going right now.

And if you notice anyone challenging these RW Nazis or Trump or the GOP in an effective way gets a furious attacks and threats from all angles.

They have, for many reasons, separated from what is normal behavior. We are demons to them.

(10,602 posts)Right now there is an element of Christofascist preachers calling for violence against liberals and progressives. And their rhetoric is frequently repeated and continues 24/7.

(10,602 posts)So according to Dobbs Obama broke some sort of law by criticizing Trump while overseas. Now repeated rhetoric that Hillary got special treatment and should have been prosecuted. The implication has been that maybe she should be indicted in the future. The fact that any of this rhetoric is even being repeated is problematic.
We are headed into a dark time. We are seeing actions and hearing rhetoric that really is unspeakable and yet goes unchallenged for all practical purposes. It is out there in the ether and it is not acceptable.

(10,602 posts)The GOP is already acting in a way that is excluding Democrats and purging them in a way. They are simply shut out of governing and the GOP is setting the entire agenda and shutting ALL democratic ideas in a very vicious way. Democratic representatives are put in danger by such vicious rhetoric.

The pics of this guy above remind me that people with punchable faces really should refrain from flinging feces.
