4. "Despite efforts by Christian nationalists to grasp for more power and control, they keep breaking on the same rock:

Most people — and most Christians — don’t want the state to have an official religion. They don’t want the state to enforce biblical law. They don’t think women should be disallowed from voting, or that a board of clerics should decide what books can appear in libraries, or that there should be mandatory Bible readings in public schools. People don’t want any of this nonsense."

6. Excellent! Fuck 'em!

7. Because God knows their hearts.

The wicked will not be forgiven for using their corrupt power-religion to politically to hurt God'sopen-hearted, innocent little ones.

8. There was always one itty-bitty problem with this whole campaign

Namely, that the good people of the City of Moscow (not pronounced like the capital of Russia, and one of the few not-conservative enclaves in North Idaho because it's home to the largest university in North Idaho) are sick of Doug Wilson's shit.

16. How do they pronounce it? nt

17. It's pronounced Mosco, unlike the capital of Russia, which is pronounced Moscow.

The W is silent.

9. It's an uphill battle to be sure, but Democrats CAN win in red states. Especially next year when inflation, healthcare

and the economy are going to get much worse due to the current policies.

We need to contest every single seat, regardless of how red the district is. We need a 50 state strategy similar to what Howard Dean engineered back in '06, which by the way was a huge success.

13. People are sick of this circus, especially with these kind of clowns.

[calimary]

14. Well, you know what they say in religious circles: "God works in mysterious ways!"

15. Moscow is a college town

So it's not typical of the rest of the state.

18. Good to hear!

19. Hallelujah!!!

Perhaps it is sinking in that Christian Nationalists are both Un-American and Un-Christian
