    Pretty sure the “R” next to his name was enough to tie him to Christian nationalism.

      Came here to say this. I have assumed for at least the last 20 years that any Republican politician is a christian nationalist, and though I don’t have specific figures, I think I’ve probably been correct 99% of the time.

      That 1% is just due to caution – I don’t have anyone in mind.

        There’s that whole “the family” thing.

        They approach young first term republicans in DC, and shower them with attention and bribes/donations. To play ball, you almost have to deal with them. Because everyone else in your party already did, you’ll never get preference over another member.

      Seriously, the Christian Nationalism was a selling point for him and the party that elected him Speaker.

    who the hell thought it was a good idea to have the speaker role not just be a neutral person who manages debate procedures in the house?

      I think the bigger problem is that there are only two parties. Having the biggest party lead the house wouldn’t be as big of an issue if they were still a minority of the total collection.

      We really are repeating the last century aren’t we. Instead of jews it’ll be gays and marijuana users. Canada sounds like a nice place.

        Oh trust me, the Jews will be targeted as well. They always are, and the Christians only like the Jews in Israel because News holding Israël is a prerequisite for the end times

          Of course! Who do you think is turning the frogs gay? It’s the Jewish scientists with their 5g vaccines, rights-destroying mask mandates, and space lasers.

          /s just in case…

    "Before arriving in Washington less than a decade ago, House Speaker Mike Johnson, a deeply religious Christian, was a legal crusader associated with a fringe evangelical movement called ‘young Earth creationism,’ based on a literal reading of the Bible’s Book of Genesis that posits the Earth is only several thousand years old,” the HuffPost reports.
