Secretary of Defense #PeteHegseth promotes repealing #WomensRightToVote

"Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who oversees about 3 million military service members and civilian employees, reposted a video last week advocating repealing the #19thAmendment, which guarantees women the right to vote. The video is an excerpt from CNN anchor Pamela Brown's interview with #ChristianNationalist pastor #DougWilson, who Brown reports believes 'women shouldn't be able to vote.'
"Brown speaks to two pastors in Wilson's Idaho church who agree with Wilson. 'In my ideal society, we would vote as households,' pastor Toby Sumpter says. 'And I would ordinarily be the one to cast the vote.' (This is the model also advocated by Wilson.) Pastor Jared Longshore says he supports the repeal of the 19th Amendment because 'the current system is not good for humans.'
"Hegseth is a member of a church that is part of Wilson's network, the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (#CREC), in Tennessee. When a CREC branch recently opened in Washington, DC, Hegseth attended. Longshore delivered the sermon.
"Hegseth's response to the video โ 'All of Christ for All of Life' โ is a Christian nationalist slogan used frequently by Wilson. It stands for the idea that Christianity should dominate all aspects of life, including government.
In response to media inquiries, the Pentagon reiterated Hegseth's admiration for Wilson and his ideology. 'The Secretary very much appreciates many of Mr. Wilson's writings and teachings,' Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said.
Beyond repealing women's #VotingRights, what are Wilson's 'writing and teachings'? Let's review.
"Wilson argues that slavery benefited blacks and whites and was 'based on mutual affection'
"Wilson has sought to recast slavery in the pre-Civil War South as a mutually beneficial relationship in many cases. In a 1996 pamphlet co-written by Wilson, Southern Slavery as It Was, he argued that '[s]lavery as it existed in the South was not an adversarial relationship with pervasive racial animosity.' According to Wilson, '[b]ecause of its predominantly #patriarchal character, it was a relationship based upon mutual affection and confidence.' He asserts that "[t]here has never been a multi-racial society which has existed with such mutual intimacy and harmony in the history of the world,' which he attributes to 'the predominance of Christianity.'
Wilson claims that '[s]lave life was to [the slaves] a life of plenty, of simple pleasures, of food, clothes and good medical care.' He urges people not to 'overlook the benefits of slavery for both blacks and whites.'
"In Wilson's 2005 book, Black and Tan, he defends #SouthernSlavery as It Was, and writes 'that slavery was far more benign in practice than it was made to appear in the literature of the #abolitionists.'' He also claims that slavery was biblically justified, claiming that 'the Christians who owned slaves in the South were on firm scriptural ground.' "

#PeteHegseth, rapist and #DUIHire and other #farright pricks want to spend time and US tax money REVOKING the RIGHT to VOTE for WOMEN!!
Citizens of the USA ! We can't get in USA streets for you, but we can flood the phones and email boxes of US Embassies.
You have to get in the street, make citizens' arrest of these unstabled deranged #ChristoFascist #MAGA
They are doing everything in their power to instigate a civil war in the US but the public has grown such apathy of politics (matters in common) that it will take much more extremism to trigger a response.
The body is getting cold, ZAP the fuck out of them!
I wish it were different and i hope ultimately i'm wrong since i'm here for the duration ... but if your a human from another country looking at the US populace and hoping or expecting some sort of organizing or action or uprising or whatever, i wouldn't hold my breath cuz it isn't gonna happen anytime soon

My father in law , a NewYork-born Italian ๐ฎ๐น (who will give you the Stare of Death if you DARE call him an American) told my husband ๐ฌ๐ง๐ฎ๐น : 'This is why you're born over HERE, and not over there! You're born over here, that's why you're capable of thinking'.
This was during a family dinner, (mes parents ๐ซ๐ท, my hubby ๐ฌ๐ง ๐ฎ๐น & myself ๐ฌ๐ง๐ซ๐ท , my older brother, and my ๐ฎ๐นfather in law) and during a discussion abt politics dad in law didn't hold back abt what he thought of the States!
Reading the room, so to speak, I didn't think it was my business to tell him that we've got our knobheads ๐ฌ๐ง๐คชtoo.
@DoomsdaysCW USA becomes Afghanistan. Imbeciles.
@LetsRoc I've always considered America's #ChristoFascists to be akin to the #Taliban (#AmericanTaliban?).
