Why the Religious Right Is Terrified of Pete Buttigieg
https://newrepublic.com/article/153543/religious-right-terrified-pete-buttigiegBy Bob Moser at the New Republic
"SNIP.....
When Buttigieg made it emphatically clear, on Sunday in Washington, that he was not going to make nicethat he would use his newly powerful platform to call out the bigotry behind the religious rights lovehe sent a bone-chilling message to all the Erick Ericksons out there. The very basis of their faith, after all, is fear: fear of God, fear of sin, fear of difference. By liberating himself from his own fearsboth personal and politicalButtigieg has evolved into a dangerous figure for the champions of American intolerance as he prepares to formally announce his candidacy this coming Sunday. Hes demonstrating a level of blessed assurance that his detractors are showing they lack. His strength is laying bare their weakness. Of course theyre furiousand scared.

speech out of the park. That's going to be a lot of exposure.
I am a big fan!

I wish I could be in South Bend, but I can't. The best I can do is be at home with either the TV on or at my computer live-streaming!
Cannot wait!

(149,719 posts)6. I think this analysis is spot on.
In a few well-chosen words, the author has laid out very clearly just what Pete Buttigieg is doing--and I like it!

I have no doubt. It could be 2020. If it's not, it will happen later.
He's on the stage to say. He is the future.
