Oh, Jesus....!
Huntley and I had a laugh when we were talking about that awful Alito woman saying that she wanted a 'Sacred Heart of Jesus' flag to counter the Pride flag because I googled that flag (of course I did) and the most garish, corny, kitsch-y flags popped up in my search. Tasteless, as usual, those xtianists. But it turns out that all this Xtian Nationalism is not just talk, it's not a matter of laughing, it's not the delusion of a rich, corrupt woman. It's dead serious. I kept googling and found the following about ONE of the current fascist groups in the United States that hide their hatred and bigotry behind... Jesus:
The New Columbia Movement is a self-described "Christian fascist" group that aims to establish a theocratic Christian nation in the United States. Here are the key points about this group:
- Founded in 2020, it advocates for establishing "a New Columbia" where America would be "reborn as a model of Christian society" based on "Christian morality, rule of law, and the common good."[1]
- Its manifesto calls the notion of equality "evil," describes democracy as a "failed experiment," and advocates for a "Roman" model with a "High American Culture" based on Christianity where "Subjugated peoples" would be allowed limited cultural expression.[1]
- It recruits primarily young men online through memes, videos, and content promoting male supremacy, anti-LGBTQ bigotry, racism, and themes of civilizational decline, all rooted in an exclusionary brand of Christianity.[1]
- Its leaders have praised the "incel" mass shooter Elliot Rodger and made anti-Semitic references to "the Jewish Question."[1]
- While rooted in traditionalist Catholicism, it aims to unite right-wing Christians across denominations, arguing "Only a united Christian front will save the West."[1]
- The group organized protests against LGBTQ Pride events, with one leader stating their goal is to "strike fear into the eyes of the sinners and the degenerates."[1]
- A member of the group's "Women's League," Kelly Neidert, admitted being part of the New Columbia Movement and endorsing their values of establishing a Christian theocracy in the U.S.[3]
So yeah. The New Columbia Movement is an extremist Christian nationalist group that promotes fascist and theocratic ideals through online recruitment and anti-LGBTQ, racist, and male supremacist rhetoric. Nothing to laugh about.[1][3]
How do you like them apples?
Vote Blue, cause otherwise, we’re fucked. They're coming for the little women. The Queers and the Colored are next, darling. Anybody who is not white, male, straight, cisgender and a xtianist, in a nutshell.
XOXO

P.P.S. Happy Pride!!
P.P.P.S.for those in the back
Funny because this line:
ReplyDeleteIt recruits primarily young men online through memes, videos, and content promoting male supremacy, anti-LGBTQ bigotry, racism, and themes of civilizational decline, all rooted in an exclusionary brand of 'fill in the faith'."
...sounds a helluva lot like how ISIS and other terror groups recruit.
VOTE BLUE!!!
xoxo
Because people are idiots.
DeletePeople in theocracies (or those who aspire to live in a theocracy) are usually distracted by shiny objects and many of the bigots will go with whatever backs up their bigotry.
Vote Blue, indeed!
XOXO
These people are so stupid, they should find a tiny island somewhere and emigrate.
ReplyDeleteWell, the minions are stupid. They're sheep.
DeleteThe ones pulling the strings are SMART. They know what they are dealing with. That's why this is such a danger...
XOXO
HuntleyBiGuy:
ReplyDeleteAnd I’m sure they are well funded.
Cast a damn vote while you still can, in every race from president to school board. Vote because YOUR future depends on it.
XOXO 👨🏼❤️💋👨🏽
Oh, the money is ROLLING IN.
DeleteI will never tire to remind people to vote, either...
XOXO
Assholes one and all.
ReplyDeleteRamen, sister!
DeleteXOXO
Truly terrifying. We gays... we can't let our guard down... and it's not just us. Women - sane ones - who think of themselves as human beings? Oh, yeah... they're coming for them. It's utter garbage. How people's heads can become so corrupted by an idea. But then... they say the same thing about us, dear! Fight the good fight.
ReplyDeleteIt is.
DeleteAnd you know who are the enemy? The complacent, the entitled, the morons who think they will NOT come for them. It worked well in Nazi Germany...
XOXO
I was trying to come up with something witty and clever but Debra said it best. Take care, Sixpence, and Happy Pride.
ReplyDeleteShe summarized it very well.
DeleteHappy Pride, Mr. Shife!!
XOXO
Let them try. I wish them luck. These way out there whacko groups fail to ever get the masses behind them....or they will hopefully and eventually drink to poisoned Kool-Aid and have a mass suicide.
ReplyDeleteWhile in Rehoboth a white trash guy...of course we was...had on a shirt very insulting to the LGBTQ community. I give him props for having the balls to even wear it there considering he was in a 80% gay and gay friendly destination. He was chased out of town by the police I understand.
On a good note....I also caught a brief glimpse of the First Lady coming out of the local grocery in town last Friday. With only two SS men. The Biden's home is only four blocks from where we stayed. I spotted her existing the market with a pride tee shirt on.How cool is that!!!!!!! The guy working the market said she is in there every visit.
HuntleyBiGuy:
DeleteShe was probably stocking up on icream for POTUS. 🤪
Oh, they ARE trying. And being moderately successful.
DeleteAnd that's the scary part. There's still places in America where this kind of bigotry is frowned upon, but many people live in pretty purple states, where this is quite common..
And I love me some Dr. Biden! They are such a wholesome couple!!
XOXO
