Yet another example, as if we needed one, that when they say "Judeo-Christian" what they really mean is "Christian," and by Christian they mean a very specific form of Americanized white Protestantism with conservative white Catholics included for good measure.
"911 emergency, we're unable to take your call today as we observe the sabbath. If you leave a message at the tone, we'll get back to you Monday morning"
They’ll arrest you for dialing the phone on the sabbath, because they’re the particularly weird flavor of fundamentalists who observe (some) Jewish law.
Yes but, as a victim, I am particularly familiar with the fantastic variety of Christian creepiness. I’m sure other religions have their own unique panorama of creepy fuck-upedness, but this is the one I know best.
oh, they may embrace those Catholics, & set aside space for their own schools but they will never allow Catholics to have a dominant presence at the table on decision making
Guarantee u on that - I don't care what they say at the start - they will keep Catholics on 2nd tier even if inside the Club
oh - they don't even consider them Christians
the further they advance on their path, the more they will fragment
and that is *another* danger - the US will fragment, not by liberals but by their own conservative constituents
in their ideology there can b only 1 true faith interpretation
The Catholics are only included as long as they're needed for the voting block. Once they don't need their votes they're going to put them in the concentration camps as well.
The conservative ones whose number one issue is Israel.
Like conservative Catholics, they’re expendable, but it’s a big, well, it’s a tent of religious freaks.
On the flip side, I'm not sure they've thought through how cancelling the NFL is going to go over with the base.
Tired: Super Bowl Sunday
Wired: Super Bowl Monday
A bittersweet but hilarious side effect to this would be watching all those MAGA fucks slowly realising what the fuck they actually voted for as everything they enjoy in life got yanked away from them by Christianists who actually meant what they said when they promised a theocracy.
My project 2025 would include mandating one day a year devoted to gathering around with our families and communities to listen to the early records of Black Sabbath
Also worth remembering, that universal "day of rest" has never existed in US culture. Aside from the obvious emergency and first responders, it was usually the lower income working class who still didn't get the day off.
Many of the things we take for granted in today's dominant society were once considered "going off the rails on a crazy train," like fences and ditches (property lines). I'm not defending this zealotry, but if they play their cards right while the rest of the table is sleeping . . .
What they don’t mention is the compulsory church attendance. I’m sure that’s a still a quiet part not yet written down but am also sure it’s part of the later-stage plan. They need a Sabbath like that to force church attendance.
