"Christian nationalism is on the rise and people are thirsty for it, hungry for this!" he claimed. "And we are the Christian Taliban and we will not stop until The Handmaid's Tale is a reality, and even worse than that to be honest."

"There was this article from The Atlantic that was like [Justice Sam] Alito is on a mission to roll back the rights of women and roll back the past hundred years of rights that were given to women," he continued. "Yes, that is what we're doing and it's only going to get worse for you from here."

1. I think they want the Warren Jeffs-FLDS reality, not just Gilead.

In his cult, child rape was a SACRAMENT. I will never get over that last episode of the Keep Sweet documentary.

There's audio proof.

2. They are 30% of 30%. Not a majority or even a growing minority

3. They dominate the Supreme Court right now.

And gerrymandering keeps them in power at the Fed level. They are destroying the public school system, separation between church and state, have made extreme gerrymandering and voter suppression legal (Voting Rights Act is dead) and have overturned Roe, with a nationwide ban and contraception + same sex marriage next. After that, they will take voting rights, property rights from women. I think it won't get that far because the sleeping majority will wake the goddamned hell up for once and fight back. Getting these rights back once they're gone is 10x harder than voting/working to retain them when we have them. That goes for abortion, social security -- whatever it is. After they have taken it away it's HELLA harder to get it back.

I can't with people who just damn won't freaking vote even. Ugh.

4. I sm honestly surprised

That there haven't been any Mormons that haven't challenged the ban on polygamy on the grounds of religious freedom.

Bigamy is no longer a felony in Utah

By Harmeet Kaur, CNN

Updated 5:03 PM ET, Tue May 12, 2020

(CNN)A law effectively decriminalizing bigamy, when two people marry while at least one of them is already legally married, is now in effect in Utah.

For decades, bigamy was a third-degree felony, legally punishable by up to five years in prison and up to a $5,000 fine. The new law makes it an infraction, putting the offense on par with getting a traffic ticket.

The bill was signed into law by Gov. Gary Herbert in March and took effect on Tuesday.

Polygamy has been practiced in Utah by certain religious groups since before it became a state and continues to persist to this day.
