‘Battle Stations!’: MSNBC Analyst Says If Republicans Win They’ll Cancel Elections, Impeach Biden Weekly
“It’s battle stations! The Democrats, Joe Biden, all the rest of them need to understand they are… What are we? July, August, December, October, November. You are four months from the end of American democracy. Four months. And we said that in 2020. And that was true then, too, right?” Nance began, claiming that if Republicans gained power, they would never allow another election to be held.
“They will vote through every piece of legislation, and defund every component of the United States government,” Nance continued, going on to predict multiple impeachments — and he even suggested that Republicans would act to expand the Supreme Court, despite the fact that Democrats have openly called for President Joe Biden to pack the Court and Nance himself shared an article in 2020 claiming that Democrats could “save democracy” by packing the Court.
“They’re not joking about impeaching Joe Biden every week. Okay. And Kamala Harris, and getting rid of people and or, you know, expanding the Supreme Court, whatever it is they think they can do, even though some of it’s crazy.”
Nance went on to claim that Republicans — on the suggestion of Congresswomen Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Lauren Boebert (R-CO) — would criminally prosecute anyone who played a role in investigation January 6th.
YES Please
There are two pressing crises tied to the state of religion in America today. A new style of atheism can help answer both of them.
The first crisis is rooted in an excess of religion. Christian theocracy is not far-off specter but an emerging reality in America. Fueled by a radically reactionary Supreme Court that is two-thirds Catholic, Thomas Jefferson’s already-dilapidated and graffitied “wall of separation” between church and state is crumbling. The overturning of Roe v. Wade means the lives of women across the country are being held hostage by a conservative Christian conception of life. Kennedy v. Bremerton permits school officials to publicly pray and make students feel pressured to join in. Carson v. Makin allows taxpayer dollars to be used to fund religious education. And at the state level, Republican-led legislatures have invoked Christianity as they pursue a systematic assault on transgender rights, while “abortion abolitionists” convinced some Louisiana lawmakers that people who get abortions should be charged with homicide.

My belief is that an energetic, organized atheist movement — which I propose calling “communitarian atheism” — would provide an effective way to guard against the twin crises of intensifying religious extremism on one end, and the atomizing social consequences of a plunge in conventional religiosity on the other.
“We also realize that, you know, you don’t need white people for white supremacy anymore, the same way you don’t need, you know, just men to have patriarchy. We see women uphold it quite well – paging Amy Coney Barrett and her friends,…What the Republicans have been brilliant at doing is not only disenfranchising people of color and marginalized groups across the country, but they’re really starting to, you know, use their white supremacist rhetoric and chip away at certain Latino, Asian and Black populations across the country.”
I'm still trying to figure out when white supremacists showed up. When did that become a thing, or is that just another "people whose politics we disagree with" pejorative - kind of like how everyone on the left calls people "fascists"?
