My Answer to "Christian" Nationalist Radicalism? 100,000,000 DEMOCRATIC VOTERS IN 2024 [1]

As they say in sports, “Go big or go home.”

Yes, ONE HUNDRED MILLION DEMOCRATIC VOTERS. Outlandish, you say? We went from 65 million for Clinton in 2016 to 81 million for Biden in 2020. IT CAN BE DONE.

Why am I urging this?

BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS AT STAKE THIS TIME. EVERYTHING.

The Republicans are dead serious about putting the most corrupt, most treasonous, most criminal ex-”president” back in power. And they have big plans for all of us. They intend to forcibly impose a Right-wing Theocracy on the United States.

x This is such a 💯 spot on piece by @djrothkopf. I’ve engaged with the GOP base every day for the past 14 yrs. The desire among that base for America to become a Christian theocracy is much, much more prevalent than people understand. Mike Johnson perfectly reflects that base.👇 https://t.co/ad2uY8kh4d — Joe Walsh (@WalshFreedom) October 26, 2023

The new House Speaker is a terrifying fanatic, as we all know by now. I urge you to read this whole thread if you have any doubt:

x 1. The new House Speaker, Louisiana Congressman Mike Johnson, is relatively obscure.



But he is now one of the most powerful politicians in America.



Here are some things about Johnson's past that everyone should know

Short summary: Johnson wants the Bible taught as “accurate history” in public schools. He is a big advocate of “covenant marriage” which binds women to husbands even if the husbands are abusive. He not only wants to see gay marriage abolished. He wants to see homosexual conduct itself made illegal. In 2016, Johnson proposed a bill that would protect clergy who didn't want to perform same-sex marriages. The bill was defeated after Johnson allegedly made "changes to the legislation that would have allowed clergy to refuse to perform marriages for interracial couples." Johnson wants ALL abortions FOR ANY REASON outlawed.

Btw, Johnson thinks he was “anointed” by God. He says there is no separation of Church and State in the Constitution. (He’s lying, of course.) He thinks women are breeding stock who should all be bearing children. He compares abortion to the Holocaust. He says mass shootings happen because we teach evolution in school. (He’s a lunatic Young Earth Creationist who thinks that Noah’s Ark was real.) HE WANTS A RIGHT-WING THEOCRACY. There can be no doubt any more.

This is who the MAGA types are. And they will all vote in 2024.

OUR TASK: THE GREATEST VOTER MOBILIZATION IN HISTORY.

Where to begin? We should take comfort in the fact that many people are already working on this. All of us should join their efforts. Here’s info you might find useful:
