This, more than anything else, is what keeps me up at night. https://twitter.com/AngryBlackLady/status/1308048514186801152
Look: I'm an exvangelical. I grew up in it, spent 2 years of my undergrad steeped in their "higher education" indoctrination. Presidential elections have always been more about the Supreme Court than anything else - because that is what they are aiming for.
The Supreme Court is why evies as a group are behind the current administration. It has always been about overturning Roe v Wade and taking care of all those other pesky "ungodly" laws, be they for LGBTQIA, antiracism, or what have you.
They play the long game. By which I mean for eternity, for the afterlife. For them, this earthly realm is temporary anyway. It's why they don't care about climate change. Many are actively trying to bring on the Great Tribulation. It's all part of the same playbook.
This is why the focus on the Court - its influence reaches out longer than most things, and they know they can make the most change there, can manipulate events on a grander scale to bring about their worldview.
That worldview is Christ's Kingdom on earth. Literally a theocracy. Any and everything they can do to bring that into being, to set the stage for it, is good - and that includes getting the US to be a theocracy, as it was intended by God and the Founding Fathers.
For the record, I do not believe in any of this. But I hear about it still from parents and see it bleed all over FB. It has been growing louder and louder. If you don't see it happening in current events, you aren't looking or paying attention.
