Well, this explains a few things. New research links stronger Christian nationalist views with lower cognitive ability, even after accounting for education. Turns out critical thinking may be Christian nationalism’s natural enemy. www.psypost.org/lower-cognit...

Lower cognitive ability is linked to stronger Christian nationalist views, even after accounting for education
A recent study indicates that Americans with lower cognitive ability scores tend to be more likely to embrace Christian nationalism. The findings suggest the ideology’s appeal is linked to underlying ...

"The midterms at this point are one thing that looks very much out of his control. Now is not the time to convince ourselves we have no power. Now is the time to use the power we have to crush the fascist Republicans, and then to kick them when they are down." bsky.app/profile/nber...

The Pentagon doesn’t need a theology department. Service members need their religious freedom protected, including the freedom to practice a minority faith or no religion at all. Hegseth’s job is to defend the Constitution, not use the military to advance his own Christianity.

2 things you need to know about the SCOTUS ruling 1) It does not allow states to conduct mass voter roll purges before the midterms. 2) “Noncitizen voting” is a ruse to interfere in our elections. State audits keep confirming it. We & partners are fighting all attempts to silence eligible voters.

This zealot does not believe that states can conduct their own elections. He and his leader want voter rolls from every state and are spreading lies about election administration. Why? Election administration doesn't lobby but big data sure does. They are selling us off for pennies and botox.

POTUS is a chaos agent and grifter. Elections are run by the states and you will get your mail ballot. Don't believe the scare tactics designed to reduce voter turnout. Payouts from DOGE, or for voting GOP, or for tariff refunds will NEVER trickle down. Wealth transfer is the point. VOTE.

Gorsuch is right: America was founded on religious pluralism, not as a Christian nation. Now he needs to rule like it. His Kennedy opinion has become a cornerstone of the Christian nationalist effort to inject religion into public schools and government. The Constitution deserves better.
