@ProPublica #BigOil #oligarchs want to foist their "Christian" views on the populace, when Jesus of Nazareth compared their chances of going to heaven to those of a camel going through the eye of a needle.

This is getting really scary.

Texas oil-igarchs destroying #democracy.

" #TimDunn & #FarrisWilks, billionaires who have made their fortunes in the #oil industry. Over the past decade, the pair have built the most powerful #political machine in #Texas — a network of think tanks, #media organizations, political action committees & nonprofits that work in lock step to purge the Legislature of #Republicans whose votes they can’t rely on."

"'History will prove,” he wrote, “that our current state government is the most corrupt ever and is ‘bought’ by a few radical dominionist billionaires seeking to destroy public education, privatize our public schools and create a theocracy.'"

@ProPublica I'd call it an anti-constitutional, insurrectionary conspiracy of grifting Confederate zombies for financial gain.

They're not done with what happened at & inside the Capitol on Jan 6, it seems.

"...the Southern Confederacy for all practical purposes merged church and state during the Civil War. Now it did not become a full fledged theocracy, but I have no doubt that it would have had the Confederacy succeeded in its quest to become independent. The philosophical and religious thought that undergirded so much of what the Confederacy stood for almost demanded this.

And so today when we look at the fracturing of religion along political and ideological lines political resurgence of the Christian Right in the Republican Party we see many of the themes of the Confederacy being recast and broadcast as what it is to be authentically American and even more dangerously, that only Christians can be real Americans. That it what almost all the current field of Republican candidates cow-tow to the most extreme leaders and spokesmen of the Christian Right, some of whom are openly neo-Confederate in their beliefs and have ties to neo-Confederate and White Supremacist organizations.
