I just posted a little update on my deep dive into American Moment — one of the groups pushing Project 2025, that was funded thanks to help from JD Vance — with a bonkers new quote.

One of their founders explains how their aim, as Christian nationalists, is to seize power "by any means necessary" from the non-believers and child-less. https://www.bugeyedandshameless.com/p/the-american-moment

J.D. Vance's Ties to a Project 2025 Group

American Moment is a hard-right effort to seize maximum power in Washington. Uh oh.

Bug-eyed and Shameless

@justinling

Wow. That’s quite a statement. They’re all quite bonkers. What a strange and disturbing way to look at yourself — or humanity.

@justinling The weirdest thing for me is that I agree with:

> "[...] Elites [become] extremely dumb [because] they have no sort of worldview beyond basic materialism [...] and no sense of the transcendent [... and no ] sense of longevity beyond their own life. And they basically become sociopaths [...] and power needs to be taken away from them"

But we'd totally disagree on who the elite sociopaths destroying civilization are.

(and quite a lot of the other details, I hasten to add)

@nickzoic @justinling a# Argh. On the nose. Refugee from that milieu and can confirm.

@justinling ummmm christians want to end the world so jesus comes back so...........

and you should be a good person because it is the right thing to do, not because of threat of punishment or some promise of reward

christians are horrible humans and they are the sociopaths

the most grounded people i know are not religious

@samiamsam @justinling If it turns out there is a Jesus and he comes back, I don't think it will turn out the way they are expecting. After all, they don't seem to listen to any of the teachings from him
@ariaflame @justinling jesus would kick their sorry dangerous cruel asses
@justinling
Religionists only for the delusional.
The rest of us aren't that angry.

@justinling

This is so monstrously effed-up.

Wow.

@justinling Conservatives and right-wingers are so funnily inconsistent. The last candidate of Germany's conservative party has been quoted
> „Der Glaube an Gott ist prägend für mein Verständnis der Welt“, schrieb Laschet einmal, „wenn man daran glaubt, dass es nach dem Tod irgendwie weitergeht, macht man auch Politik anders als zum Beispiel ein Kommunist, der bis zum Lebensende dringend mit allen Mitteln das Paradies auf Erden schaffen will.“

> "Faith in God shapes my understanding of the world," Laschet once wrote, "if you believe that life somehow continues after death, you also do politics differently than, for example, a communist who desperately wants to create paradise on earth by any means necessary until the end of his life."

@justinling

God hates childless Christians, too, apparently, along with every other marginalized community.

These people deserve every calorie of heat Mother Nature is about to unleash upon them.
