Trump White House Appears To Kill Obama’s Ethics Rule: Appointees May Not Be Signing Required Ethics Pledges
I Was Trained for the Culture Wars in Home School, Awaiting Someone Like Mike Pence as a Messiah | Autostraddle
Christofascists have been wanting someone like Pence in the White
House and, until now, didn’t have a way to get one in. They know Trump
is easily manipulated and will change his mind with the wind if it makes
him feel more powerful and famous. Trump couldn’t care less about
policy, a fact he’s made quite obvious. The Right has given a tyrant
power and fame; he will do whatever they want him to do in order to keep
it. This way they can sneak Pence in on a piggyback while filling
Congress with even more evangelical conservative Republicans. Compared
to Trump’s abrasive and terrifying behavior, Pence seems much less
threatening. This is not the case. Pence has a proven track record of
legalizing discrimination and acting against women and marginalized
people. Those of us who didn’t leave the far Right are being elected to
federal positions or are taking over states and cities. With Pence in
office, even the reasonable-seeming incumbents – who have been and are
still at the mercy of the Tea Party – are growing more bold in their
attempts to further the Christofascist agenda: To Take Back The Country
For Christ.
