A Christian Nation!

To appease his far right base, Trump & Company is turning us into a Christian Nation! The military is becoming packed with "Christian Nationalist!" Trump's cabinet is loaded with "Christian Nationalist"

Trump has packed his administration with people not loyal to the Constitution but to the Bible and Trump! Lets go back to last year at this time to set the stage...
Spearheading the effort is Russell Vought, president of The Center for Renewing America, part of a conservative consortium preparing for Trump’s return to power.

An influential think tank close to Donald Trump is developing plans to infuse Christian nationalist ideas in his administration should the former president return to power, according to documents obtained by POLITICO.

Spearheading the effort is Russell Vought, who served as Trump’s director of the Office of Management and Budget during his first term and has remained close to him. Vought, who is frequently cited as a potential chief of staff in a second Trump White House, is president of The Center for Renewing America think tank, a leading group in a conservative consortium preparing for a second Trump term.

Christian nationalists in America believe that the country was founded as a Christian nation and that Christian values should be prioritized throughout government and public life. As the country has become less religious and more diverse, Vought has embraced the idea that Christians are under assault and has spoken of policies he might pursue in response.
Now these so called Christians have warped their doctrine to hate people who are non-white, non-Christian, and are LGBTQ+. These are the people who are fortifying Trump hatred of LGBTQ+ people!


It was a history-making event: In a chapel at Fort Liberty, North Carolina, 2nd Lt. Khady Ndiaye stood proudly – wearing a hijab – as she became the first Muslim woman commissioned by the U.S. Army as a chaplain candidate.

Presiding over the ceremony in June was Maj. Gen. Bill Green, the Army’s chief of chaplains. He said the chaplains serve more than 200 faith groups, “while caring for the entire Army family … regardless of their personal beliefs.”

Hegseth sometimes conveys his conservative Christian outlook in militaristic terms, has justified the medieval Crusades that pitted Christians against Muslims, and evokes the specter of Islamists seeking to impose their faith on non-Muslims. He has denounced the military’s initiatives to foster diversity, equity and inclusion, which include religion among other categories.
That is one of my concerns... that the military will be stuffed with Trump loyalists and Christian nationalists. The merchant marine academy is also under the microscope;



In January 2023, MRFF, acting on a complaint from a group of seventeen alumni, staff, faculty, and midshipmen at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA) in Kings Point, New York, sent a demand to the Academy’s superintendent that a gigantic painting of Jesus hovering over a lifeboat be removed from its completely improper and Constitution-violating location in the Academy’s Wiley Hall administrative building, a demand that was successful in getting the painting moved to the Academy’s chapel.

Fast forward to a few weeks ago, when Trump’s new secretary of transportation, former reality TV star Sean Duffy, visited the Academy, which unlike the other service academies, which are under the Department of Defense, is under the Department of Transportation.

Speaking to a group of Academy midshipmen, Duffy whipped his audience into a frenzy when he asked at the end of his speech,“Can we bring Jesus up from the basement?”
Then we have a misogamy and racism,

The Army's premier institution for training its most senior noncommissioned officers has barred its students from writing academic essays on topics such as women, minorities and other issues related to diversity.

The 10-month Sergeants Major Academy at Fort Bliss, Texas, includes multiple major projects in its curriculum, including two essays students were expected to work on for several months. Both projects were scrapped from the course and replaced with a single essay, a service spokesperson confirmed to Military.com.

[...]

The change reflects the expanding Trump administration censorship across the Department of Defense aimed at erasing acknowledgment of those groups. It also follows a series of executive orders issued by President Donald Trump and internal policy shifts championed by Hegseth, who has made the erasure of those groups a core goal of his tenure so far.
Then in the civilian sector the Secretary of State wants to turn employees into "Big Brothers"
“It’s very ‘Handmaid’s Tale’-esque,” one official said.

The Trump administration has ordered State Department employees to report on any instances of coworkers displaying “anti-Christian bias” as part of its effort to implement a sweeping new executive order on supporting employees of Christian faith working in the federal government.

The department, according to a copy of an internal cable obtained by POLITICO, will work with an administration-wide task force to collect information “involving anti-religious bias during the last presidential administration” and will collect examples of anti-Christian bias through anonymous employee report forms.
So what is "anti-Christian" bias? What about antiemetics bias? What about anit-Muslim bais? Should they also be reported? Or just "anti-Christian" bias?
Some State Department officials reacted to the cable with shock and alarm, saying that even if well-intentioned, it is based on the flawed premise that the department harbors anti-Christian bias to begin with, and warning it could create a culture of fear as the administration pushes employees to report on one another.

“It’s very ‘Handmaid’s Tale'-esque,” said one State Department official, who was granted anonymity because the individual was not allowed to speak openly about internal department affairs.
Big Brother is watching you! It is 1984! No it is the Handmaid’s Tale... strike that it is a "Brave New World"!

Mark my words, the administration's goal is to force women out of combat positions!
