Tim Miller breaks down Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s recent re-tweet of a Christian nationalist interview, praising a pastor opposing women’s right to vote and promoting their submission to men.
James Dobson offered some pretty harmful teachings and advice as he was trusted because he was a child psychologist supposed to understand about development.
James Dobson's advice on how to ensure a son doesn't catch The “Gay”
“Meanwhile, the boy's father has to do his part. He needs to mirror and affirm his son's maleness. He can play rough-and-tumble games with his son, in ways that are decidedly different from the games he would play with a little girl. He can help his son learn to throw and catch a ball. He can teach him to pound a square wooden peg into a square hole in a pegboard. He can even take his son with him into the shower, where the boy cannot help but notice that Dad has a penis, just like his, only bigger.”
He was also a believer in “conversion therapy” . AI indicates:
“He did not introduce the concept of conversion therapy, but he was a fervent advocate and promoter of it through his organization Focus on the Family and its Love Won Out program, which promoted the pseudoscientific practice of attempting to change a person's sexual orientation. Dobson actively promoted conversion therapy and even claimed that there were hundreds of "former" gay and lesbian individuals who had been "changed" to be heterosexual. “
He did a lot of damaging caused a lot of trauma and abuse .
James Dobson died a couple days ago at 89 years old.
He is the one that created all of this garbage Hegseth and his Pastor are spewing
It was very dangerous
He believed in Christian nationalism, taking over politics.
He was about as an authoritarian and misogynistic as they come. People have been writing about him since his death, and not in such a flattering way. He hurt and damaged a lot of people. He was supposed child psychologist expert on child development, but he mixed it in with his religious authoritarian patriarchy and misogyny.
“All of Christ for All of Life” is the motto of Doug Wilson’s church in Moscow, ID. I never understand why the media gives Hegseth such a pass when it comes to his long history of adultery, including an encounter that the woman said was rape that occured while his current wife (#3) was pregnant with his child and he was still married to wife #2, who was one of several women with whom he admitted to have having had affairs while married to wife #1. Normally, not my business, but definitely an issue while he is embracing and being embraced by Wilson and his ilk, who stake their brand on the “traditional” family where the man is boss and spiritual gatekeeper, and, in practice, serial adulterer, marital rapist, or child abuser.

He has written some very powerful articles about everything that’s going on in our country and against our democracy.
John Pavolich long time Pastor in activist has a sub stack called “The beautiful mess”. He’s a staunch supporter and activist for LBGTQ rights .
He wrote ;
“James Dobson was the reason I began this journey of speaking out against the Evangelical Church and the GOP.
In the immediate wake of the Sandy Hook shootings, he and Mike Huckabee declared it happened because God had been "taken out of schools.
That day changed me and pushed me into helping those damaged by him and people like him.
Dobson was a reprehensible human being who left a shameful legacy of phobia, violence, and discrimination in the name of a God of love.”

I don’t think they give him anything to do in the Pentagon.
Should this be disqualifying? The military has many female members in service. Sounds stupid as it can be.
All these men are free not to vote. Let their wives vote for the household. How does that work for these troglodytes?
What in the actual fuck?!
Hugging my Dd-214 again
Who the fuck elected the Taliban?
Anyone ask MTG if she agrees?
Clutch Cargo could always go back to being a man if she wants.
They are bat shit crazy 😳
We are honoring the confederates and the Jan 6 attackers. Sure that makes sense.
And where is Hegseth's wife?
Oh boy. You better keep me away from the yahoos, cuz it won't be pretty if I run into any of them.
