      I know right? This guy isn’t flirting with anything, he’s unabashedly a christian nationalist. He straight up said that the US isn’t a Democracy, that it’s a Christian Republic, and that there’s no separation between church and state. He is 100% a christo-fascist and anyone who can’t see that is blind. He’s one of the most dangerous people in our government right now, because unlike Trump he’s scarily competent and might actually be able to pull off the coup that Trump attempted. The only hope we have is that he gets swept aside in the GOP infighting that’s currently going on and that the DNC manages to seize control of the house and senate in 2024. If Republicans win the presidential election and retain control of at least one of the houses our democracy might never recover.

    Fuck. Mike Johnson has all the characteristics of high political society that Trump wishes he had, certainly the intelligence to implement it, and the surprise factor to fuck the entire U.S. over.

    The LGBTQ advocates who worked against Johnson in Louisiana have a warning—for members of Congress, and the public. “I think it’s really important that people in this country don’t underestimate him,” says Frances Kelley, former field director for Equality Louisiana. “He will try to persuade you in the nicest way possible, while he’s trying to take away your rights.”

    This dude is a “Bless your heart” while I stab you to death kind of person.

    Where has the media been while this monster was just a congressman? Is it just OK to be a fascist in congress?

    How about we start getting around the clock coverage about the other fascists who haven’t been put in charge yet so ground level people can start running for office and replacing them?

    He’s also a right winger. This is what domestic terrorism from the right is going to look like up until the next election. A mentally unstable man who doesn’t like that trump lost and is continuing to lose. Check on your right wing friends (maybe former) and make sure they aren’t going down this hole. Talk about anything but politics.
