A truly confident man has no reason to fear a drag queen. Any man who chooses to show up at a drag queen show with a gun is not secure in his own masculinity.

Thank you. It’s so terrible to see the fear mongering and dehumanization. Great point about the strategy of distraction.

The fact that the Republican Party has adopted Christian Dominionism and Christian Nationalism as the blueprint for their socio-economic agenda is proof beyond a reasonable doubt that fundamental Christianity as taught in the Bible is dead and their worship of Jesus Christ has a role model for devout living is nothing more than a cynical prop: God is dead in the same way that practical Democracy as envisioned by our forefathers is dead. In the same way that Christianity as envisioned by the apostles is dead only to be supplanted unceremoniously by political nihilism and “corporate atheism” masked as a “deeply-held religious belief”. The “Bill of Rights for the Chosen Few” is heralded on government media outlets as an equal opportunity for all Americans to claim their entitlement to a seat at the table in the Upper Room where campaign rallies in backroom hedge fund casinos hand out gun permits to armed insurrectionists to put a hollow-point 9mm into the back of the head of every progressive instinct. The end-times is really the new “present-time” in which obsolete voting machines like old obsolete phone booths are thrown off pickup trucks, dumped on highways like garbage in Everywhere U.S.A. And the children say, “What was that, Daddy?” And he says, “Oh, nothing important, just litter. Don’t worry about it.”

Christian Dominionism (the Republican Party) is a political ideology that seeks to mandate a Christian theocratic government in the United States. It is based on the belief that Christians have a God-given mandate to take control of all secular institutions and create a society governed by Christian principles, not Constitutional principles. Christian Dominionists believe that the Bible should be the supreme law of the land - not the US Constitution - and that all other laws should be based on it. They generally oppose the separation of church and state and advocate for the strict enforcement of conservative Christian values in public policy.
