Some takeaways:

  1. Trump is the most pro-life, anti baby-murder president we've ever had, and it's a demonic plot that stole the election from him. The communist Democrats are hell-bent on killing as many babies as possible to show their allegiance to Satan.

  2. Then they showed a clip of a Muslim devotional video which claimed Allah was the one true god. After the clip ended, they started praising Trump for keeping the borders closed. If he let the Muslims in, rampant evil would spread across our great nation the likes of which has never been seen, collapsing our institutions to enact Sharia Law.

  3. They then showed protesters at an ICE detention camp, holding signs such as, "Family Has No Borders", "Close the Camps", and "Abolish ICE". They began to harangue the protesters, calling them Marxist actors who want to let as many illegal drug dealers and traffickers into our country as possible, in order to weaken our amazing president's administration.

This was all within ten minutes, lol. TV Christianity is literally just state propaganda of the Republican party. Nothing that they spoke about had anything to do with God or Christ.

    Chris Hedges calls them Christian heretics for exactly this reason. If they followed Christ's word they'd need to find someone with a braided whip.

      And all of this hyper political Christianity can be traced back to the 60s and 70s. Abortion, "welfare queens", gay marriage, imperialism, Israel, etc. None of the issues they care about are based on the Bible, and it's amazing that nobody thinks that's weird. Edit: except Israel I guess.

        Most leftists that don't like Hedges have an issue with his negative attitude towards sex work, gambling and drug use. His views are closer to international Communist parties on those issues rather than the American left which doesn't have an influential legacy of Marxism, but rather comes forward from individual ideological advancement from liberalism.

        Basically he sees sex work, drug abuse and gambling as the result of increasing alienation and systemic poverty and thinks that the left should fight to reduce these things. A lot of american leftists are basically the modern equivalent of hippies and don't like the idea of trying to "regulate recreational activities" or whatever.
