What Happens if Republicans and the Christian Religious Right Get What They Want
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart
Watching clips of the Republican Convention made me think of
an idea I had for a novel after watching a disturbing television show. I know
that the men and women I admire for their creativity and incredible variety of
characters have achieved success beyond my belief. However, once in a while, I
have ideas combined with imagination which excite me. “American Gothic” was a
frightening television series which lasted for a single season. It came to mind
when I thought about the RNC.
The show began with a typical American family on a vacation
to experience America. It quickly devolved into a horrific tale about evil and
the decline of humanity.
Plans for America’s future offered by fake Republicans last
week misrepresented the intent of Project 2025. They attempted to create an
image of a great future for America. I, and many others would like to offer you
the truth.
WELCOME TO THE NEW GOP: THE AMERICAN FASCIST PARTY
The platform of today’s Republican Party in name only is
founded upon a country devoted to fascist principles, ruled by a dictator whose
only concern is his personal fulfillment.
Trump is not a religious man. He is the opposite of what it
means to be a spiritual person. However, he is desperate to receive the votes
of religious extremists, and offers the Christian Religious Right his support.
Project 2025 includes a plan to force Christianity on all
Americans. This fascist manifesto calls for the establishment of Christianity
as America’s one, true religion.
Now wait just a darn minute. This old fart is one of nearly
100 million Americans who rejects all organized religion. If the First
Amendment is removed from the Bill of Rights, my right to freedom FROM religion
will disappear. America will no longer be a nation with “liberty and justice
for all.”
If this does happen, will the Crusades be reactivated? Will
Trump order the military to rain fire and brimstone on all Muslim nations? Of
course his friends in Saudi Arabia will be spared: he owes them.
Trump reversed the direction of our nation’s future. Until
Trump and his fascist horde gained control of a large percentage of our
nation’s people, my America was compassionate and understanding. Trump’s
“people” are filled with anger, hatred, and a desire for revenge. I read the
Bible: I don’t remember where these vile emotions were taught by Jesus Christ.
HYPOCRISY IS EVERYWHERE
In 2016 Trump told his cult that “the election is rigged.”
He was actually telling the truth for once. We now know that his team was
colluding with Russia throughout the campaign season.
During the 2016 campaign season most men and women calling
themselves Republicans professed their dislike and distrust for Trump. However,
hypocrisy was not beneath them. On inauguration day every fake Republican bowed
to their Fuhrer; their “Reagan 2.0.”
Sadly, most of the men and women calling themselves
“Christians” today support hatred and violence and judge others without
justification. I would like to inform these pretenders that if you ignore the
teachings of Jesus Christ, you are not a Christian. You are just another
hypocrite.
PROJECT 2025 IS TRUMP’S PLAN FOR AMERICA
Two of the principal goals listed in Project 2025 are the
two primary reasons our Founding Fathers left England. They escaped the
monarchy, and King George’s edict declaring the Anglican Church was the one,
true religion of the British Empire.
A system known as a Democratic Republic was created, with a
“check and balance system” preventing any form of autocracy. These wise men
considered the First Amendment the most important sentences ever composed. The
beginning protects both the right of all Americans to practice the religion of
their choice or none at all. Without this guarantee, there is no America.
Last week a biased and corrupted Supreme Court declared a
president has absolute immunity, giving him powers unintended by our Founding
Fathers. If Trump is elected, he will become a fascist dictator. Free and fair
elections will end and only the super-rich will live in what was once America.
All religious worship will be banned other than Christianity. This will include
the removal of Catholic Churches and the Temples used by members of the Latter
Day Saints.
If you are willing to accept the end of freedom and
equality, vote for Trump. You will get just what you deserve.
