Alabama Republican U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville had a stark warning for the approximately 100 Utah GOP delegates who crowded into a Bluffdale warehouse to hear him speak on Friday afternoon: Malevolent supernatural forces are working to undermine America.
This is a part of Christian Nationalism. Their strategy is to say that leaders of groups they don’t agree with are literally possessed by demons. This is their plan to dehumanize the opposition. They are very careful to mention going to war with, and killing, the demons. You can see the slippery slope. This is very intentional language.
It goes hand in hand with them claiming all their opposition are pedos, as well. Even though if there is any group with a pedo problem, it’s the right wing.
Fuck it. I’ll get possessed by a progressive demon that taxes billionaires and corporations at a fair rate, over following a god that supports bigotry against LGBTQ people and laughs at children’s drowning in a river filled with razor wire, any fuckin day of the week.
