It’s quite a contradiction. The right is so caught up in their idea of “morality” when it comes to LGBTQ issues, while they violate every one of the Ten Commandments.

It's surpassingly weird that so many people who claim to be serving a moral cause also insist on defending and glorifying such a conspicuously amoral person as the main champion of their cause.

Amen, Sister. But we aren’t reinventing this; it’s the authoritarian playbook. More and more I realize Trump is just a useful figurehead, an empty vessel, ready to dance to whatever tune the right sings, and somehow the rubes follow along like lemmings. As has happened before.

The 'moral majority' ain't so moral, are they?

It’s a 100% inversion of the usual definition of morality. Theirs is basically about dominating others with a code of their own devising.

While not seeming to notice that the Bible is pretty explicit about the sin of adultery. Yet we do not see them proposing laws to criminalize adultery.

Give them time. Criminalizing adultery will only apply to their opponents, not to themselves. The Handmaids Tale feels more real every day.
