Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, in his first remarks after being elected Wednesday afternoon, told Members of Congress that “Scripture” and “the Bible” are clear that they have been “ordained” by God.
He did it. He said the magic words that turn on a neverending money tap from “christian” conservatives who aren’t smart enough to tell when they’re getting grifted.
This seditionist asshat shouldn’t even be allowed to be in politics anymore. The more we allow people to try to overturn elections, the more impossible it will be to stay a democracy.
And then laughed hysterically and said “can you believe people believe the bullshit that comes out of our mouths? Now let’s get to counting some money!”
You joke, but in the UK we are literally lorded over by a family that claims god chose them to rule over us, and we all just have to go along with it. And it isn't just passive acceptance, I've seen people unironically support it (E: not just royalty, but the actual "chosen by god" part).
Indoctrination is a hell of a drug, and the US is heavy on it, there are entire populations made deliberately vulnerable to exactly this brand of bullshit.
That’s exactly what Jerry Falwell said to Reagan. And it’s worked out beautifully. Millions of people brainwashed since childhood to blindly obey a male authority figure.
