And we see it in the white christian party personified by ted Cruz the dominionist christian kook and trotting out the rightwing jesus every election, but this election it has become hyper religious asshattery. Even Trump is waving his Jesus around ( even though i don't believe he really ascribes to that nonsense, it is always part of his show)

Ted Cruz's campaign is fueled by a dominionist vision for America (COMMENTARY) - Religion News Service

Dominionism is the New Religious Freedom | Political Research Associates



America has an infection. Whether it is terminal remains to be seen. The infection is that of anti-intellectualism, a steadfast refusal to acknowledge that one’s worldview is mutable, a worldview in which facts are only facts if they fit that worldview, and that anyone who disagrees with a Christian fundamentalist worldview is an “enemy” of God. The infection has taken hold in conservative politics, where it has spread to a significant portion of the American population, and even into a significant amount of the Canadian population. In Katherine Stewart’s article in the Guardian entitled “How Christian Fundamentalism Feeds Into the Toxic Partisanship of US Politics

this isn't so benign as many might think, as it is it mimics the mentality of Islamic fundamentalism , not in content but in form. It will also affect all aspects of our country from education to competing in math and science .

But thankfully their numbers are shrinking and American people will reject their cartoonish black and white "thinking"

"Dominionism" -

"...the political aspirations of Christian Rightists who believe that they have a biblical mandate to control all earthly institutions –including government – until the second coming of Jesus."

Or as I like to put it they want to be the religious mafia that forces their 'protection' on the rest of the population. And conveniently it will be a cold day in hell before 'Jesus' shows up, so this would be religious tyranny in perpetuity.

One would think 'Jesus' would be busy spending time and money to feed, clothe, and house the poor. Give comfort to those in prison. Raise up the downtrodden. Or chastise and oppose the money changers.

'Jesus' sure has changed in 2,000 years. He said 'let he who is without sin cast the first stone' when a crowd wanted to stone to death an adulterous woman. Christians today busy themselves piling up stones and loosening up their throwing arm.
