I come from one of those cults as well, and it’s crazy how they’re distilling themselves into the most hateful, wretched, unbearable group in the country.
I don’t like everything Jesus was purported to say, but turn the other cheek, bless those who persecute you, and do unto others as you would want done to you are completely anathema to the conservative philosophy (not that they’re persecuted, but they believe they are).
They’d burn everything down to get their intolerant theocracy.
A group of zealots brainwashed into thinking anyone outside their group is “The Enemy” and that they are waging a spiritual battle against evil is a group of people that is extremely dangerous.
If you saw the article from CNN about Johnson posted to the fediverse, you’ll see he uses some of the same extremist Christian I mentioned above. For those who know it is all about, it is pretty terrifying to hear coming from the Speaker.
