Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth invited Pastor Doug Wilson to give a sermon at the Pentagon in February as part of Hegseth’s monthly Christian worship service.

The pastor’s appearance was controversial.

Wilson is a self-described Christian nationalist who wants to repeal a woman’s right to vote, has defended slavery and believes homosexuality should be a crime.

    You have to be deep into self-delusion if you are one or more of these groups and still in the conservative movement and voting for their party.

    I still have to laugh that even as recent as just a few years ago, cons were trying to gaslight me into thinking that calling states without abortion after 2022 Gilead States was just being too nasty, and I should really mind my tone. I think I’ve been hearing men on hate radio “joke”, way back in the mid-90s, about how the country started on the path to hell once women were able to vote. This kind of stuff is very plain to see.

    I think way too many just take the advances that we have for granted and just choose to be “non political” or vote conservative for certain identity-based reasons + the tax cuts, thinking the men/whites/heteros in their movement have any interest in maintaining what they’ve gained.
