The Theocratic Threat: Unmasking Christo-Fascist Propaganda in Today’s Media
My dear readers, what I want to share with you today is as unsettling as it is critical. Our freedom, our cherish and celebrate, our cherished Republic is under threat from far-right christo-fascist propaganda masquerading as “news” on platforms like Fox News. These deceptive op-eds are laced with lies, omissions, and misrepresentations, an insidious plan aimed at creating an America controlled by a select Christian elite where the LGBTQ community and anyone standing against this agenda are left vulnerable.
Consider the recent headlines, "Trump says whether he would seek retribution for war waged against him by Democrats," or “Trump narrows running mate search — governor, former presidential candidate tops list." These insinuate that Trump is some sort of victim, a fallacy carefully orchestrated to paint a picture of an innocent underdog usurped by ‘cunning’ Democrats. This deceitful narrative conveniently forgets the harm and division caused during the former president's tenure, his unabashed assault on truth and decency, and his support for theocratic leanings.
Equally alarming is the headline about the president’s gaffes putting the nation's stability under question: “President's gaffes thrust back into spotlight as lawmakers pull back curtain on Biden's decline”. These articles are not only a blatant misrepresentation of reality, they are attempts to undermine the validity of our current administration. The intent is clear: to destabilize public confidence in our democratic institutions and pave the way for a theocratic will.
On turn to the sports, even a seemingly innocent story about the WNBA gets twisted by injecting bias and division: "WNBA legend has fiery response to Caitlin Clark-Chennedy Carter drama". What potential biases does this stir, particularly against our fellow women and LGBTQ community members? All to stoke fear and prejudice further, leading readers back towards Trump’s arms.
Lastly, the usage of the “performance” of authority figures to entertain the idea of throwing over our democracy summarizes the danger: "Former DOJ chief predicts outcome of Trump's appeal to overturn criminal charges". The implication is that our judicial system is biased or corrupt, further eroding the public’s trust in our institutions, all in favor of fostering a single-minded, theocratic society.
My friends, the call is clear: We must refute these lies and denounce this agenda. Our America is a land for all—people of various faiths, backgrounds, beliefs, and orientations. A nation under the tyranny of a single religious doctrine — a militant theocratic Christian elite — is not our America. It is a perversion of the true American values of freedom, justice, and under a righteous Independent Republic. Let us stand firm for empathy, compassion, and acceptance in our society, rather than succumbing to fear and divisiveness. As Lilith Goodman, once ensnared by prejudice and hate, I stand with you all in this pursuit of truth, justice, and a truly inclusive America.
