Inside A Secret Society Of Prominent Right-Wing Christian Men Prepping For A ‘National Divorce’ - TPM – Talking Points Memo

They all ALL mediocrities who got lucky in their admission to elite colleges/universities. And their mediocre sons are being shunted aside for highly qualified minorities and women.

hahaha! I briefly glanced at the photos, and when I saw Roger Stone’s fat head, I was aghast. Crawl back into the swamp, Roger and make yourself useful by being a snack for the alligators.
On second thought, they would probably spit him out.

It’s stories and people like this that keep me up at night. We have to get away from the idea that Fat Donnie is the problem. Fat Donnie is just a symptom. This kind of fascist far right religious bullshit is the problem. And there can never be a time when we allow a Republican to be elected president, or it’s game over. This bullshit, along with Project 2025 seek to end democracy permanently and “legally.”

Failed men (money is no indicator of usefulness or value) band together to “take back” the hegemony and the preeminence they believe is somehow owed to them and will - in their own words - do anything to take it back. “I hope it stays cold”? Eventually these limp dick losers will join up with a resurgent Proud Boys and we will have a real fucking problem on our hands. And all this shit is going on in the dark for a reason.

Yeppers. Sacramento, '67.

“Political power emerges through the barrel of a gun,” whether SACR likes it or not.

So a group of horribly oppressed, wildly successful/influential dudes. So sad, how oppressed they are… Are they also leading an effort to get Websters to remove the term “cognitive dissonance” from the dictionary?

In their references to the Constitution - and how things were before all those changes - we’ll be going back to only educated White male property owners with education will be able to vote and hold office. And property ownership will be limited as well. Look at Florida already restricting Chinese individuals from buying property.

As for education? I suspect it will be allowed for women to attend college for certain areas such as primary education (definitely not college professors), nursing and Home Ec focused fields.

Yes, I was also stunned when I saw Stone’s face. This group has assembled quite the Rogues Gallery.

So, it’s sort of Opus Dei meets Handmaid’s Tale meets Illuminatus trilogy, with a nice icing of prosperity gospel and plain ol’ christian triumphalism. So essentially as american as apple pie.

A shondah fer de goyim, my bubbe would have said.

That and the idea that a future regime would be manned by men who ‘grew up in the system’. How could they predict which boys would adhere to their wishful, lifelong path, be educated and independently wealthy enough to meet standards?

This shit falls apart with even simple scrutiny.
Sounding like a cabal of groomers, actually.

Jess Piper calls it “Fundie Baby Voice”. Breathy cadence and soft child-like pitch. See also Michelle Duggar, Mike Johnson’s wife, pretty much any fundie lady. A put-on submissive display.

Yep – My dad always said the only reason for a woman to go to college is to learn a skill that she could use in case her husband died an untimely death and she had to earn a living. And it could only be a nurse or a teacher.

I had the same reaction. I didn’t know that his swinger lifestyle was acceptable in the R.C. church. And the event is being held at the home of a rapist.

It sounds like Branch Davidians, but who want to keep their contacts with politicians and business leaders, stay in their individual suburban homes, keep their desk jobs, and drive an SUV or sedan when they don’t feel like driving the pick-up truck. They’ll need to hire other people to carry the guns.

God save us from the people who are rooting for the collapse of our country. They need to go back and read their bible a little more thoroughly. Some patriots …
