    They’ve just declared war on their own Jesus:

    https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+2%3A13-16&version=CJB

    https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matt+21%3A12-13&version=CJB

    https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+11%3A15-17&version=CJB

    “Anti-capitalism”, right there, AND direct “hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on morality”, if one takes American televangelists as paragons of American morality.

    Other than extremism on migration, race, or gender I’m proudly all those things.

    I hope the US government can be overthrown and their extremism on migration, race, and gender can be ended

      I assume I’m all of these things since they probably consider being in favor of trans rights as gender extremism.

      Bullshit. You probably hold normal people views on those topics, rather than the negative IQ views that the GQP has. You fucking extremist /s

      I think you’ll want to check what their definition of “Extremism” is first.

      I wouldn’t even deny that in a sense my views on “race” and gender are extremist, even if my first thought was the same.

      Like, “it doesn’t matter people are individuals” is pretty much by definition on the extreme end.

      (Well there’s also “it sadly did matter in the past and even if we instantly stopped all racism and sexism the results will linger so we should see what we can do to get closer to actual equality faster” but that seems like a different axis, even if to conservatives it probably seems “more extreme”)

        I do love the American inclination to roll out a 250 year old piece of literature, stare down the barrel of a gun, and announce “You can’t do that it’s against the rules”.

        The Founding Fathers were violating provisions of the Constitution practically before the ink was dry.

        But hey, maybe this is the moment when waving a big copy of the seven original commandments of Animal Farm and shouting “Four Legs are supposed to be good, actually!” will fix the problem.

          The only time that any of these rules are enforced is when the people with money hire their expensive lawyers to ensure it’s enforced.

          When they break the rules against the poors, nobody has enough money to fight with their fancy pants lawyers.

          They get “justice” and we get whatever they give us.

          Nothing has changed.

      I’d say he checks more boxes than he doesn’t. Though arguably, “traditional American views on religion and morality” could mean believing in freedom of religion and not being full-on fascist. The only one he probably doesn’t check is the one about “traditional Americans views on family”.

        Presuming that God “made man in his image” and whiteness is a recent evolutionary adaptation, God looks closer to an African than a European.

      My therapist has talked to me a lot about acceptance. I accept that it’s terrifying and we should fight back.

      That’s still easier to live with than accepting what happened in my previous marriage.

      We can individually contribute to resisting the regime. For LGBTQ, minorities, and people with disabilities simply surviving is active resistance.

      I can’t do anything to make my ex unfuck the other dude.

      It’s the same contradictions all the way down the list.

      “anti-capitalism”

      So anyone who supports the government directly and arbitrarily interfering with private businesses? Like Trump is doing constantly?

      “anti-Christianity”

      So, anyone opposed to helping the poor and needy? Anyone who doesn’t treat foreigners with respect and kindness? Anyone who skipped over that whole “meek shall inherit the Earth” thing?

      “support for the overthrow of the United States Government”

      So, Trump and MAGA.

      “extremism on migration”

      Also Trump and MAGA.

      “extremism on race”

      Trump and MAGA.

      “extremism on gender”

      Trump and MAGA.

          If that’s a conspiracy theory, I guess I’m a conspiracy theorist now. “Terrorist” as context in legal wording carries a lot of weight, and can be used to bypass due process. When everyone is legally defined as a terrorist, the powers that be can make anyone, citizen or not, disappear at any given time without any public notation. I can’t imagine any legitimate reason for this to be written as law the way it is, there is no “proper” place for a law worded like this to be used outside of a dictatorship.

          To my interpretation, this isn’t vague at all.

    I can at least understand what’s being said by a few of these, but do we have an official, on the books, definition for what constitutes “extremist” views, or what “traditional American values” are in this context?

    I’m guessing not, because I’m not sure they know what any of that actually looks like anymore.

    They think they do, but they keep the wording vague in their official statements because these rules are not to preserve American culture or their way of life, it’s all vibe based. I don’t like you so let’s see which of these vague statements I can attach to you so that you get in trouble that you literally cannot afford to get out of…
