"Wilson is only one of the crackpot Men of God affiliated with Vance and Hegseth who openly proclaim that marital rape is impossible. … 'The sexual act cannot be made into an egalitarian pleasuring party,' Wilson has written in one of his books. 'A man penetrates, conquers, colonizes, plants. A woman receives, surrenders, accepts…True authority and true submission are therefore an erotic necessity.'"

"For Wilson, Hegseth represents a unique chance to spread his extreme ideology. Some at his church oppose female suffrage; his denomination is against women in combat, homosexuality, abortion, and pushes for an extremely traditional interpretation of family structure."

~ Josh Kovensky and Emine Yücel

TPM - Talking Points Memo · Pete and the Preacher ManBy Josh Kovensky

"In the end, Wilson, this political regime, and its supporters want the United States to look a lot like the antebellum South. ...

What we see in Douglas Wilson’s theology today will become someone’s policy tomorrow.

If a church teaches hierarchy, exclusion, and authoritarian control, it will eventually shape a politics that enforces those same values."

"They have demonized and brutalized immigrants from certain countries. Now they are attempting to take over cities with large Black populations in the name of law and order.

This will result in a very small group of wealthy people—mostly white, mostly male, mostly Christian nationalist—imposing minority rule on the majority who disagree with their leadership and policies."

Tisby writes,

"If we had paid attention to [Douglas] Wilson and the spread of his ideology, we could have foreseen the Trump regime coming.

What happens in politics is downstream of what happens in the church. …

They want to strip women of bodily autonomy. They have recently challenged marriage equality. They are under orders to gerrymander districts to guarantee Republican wins."

#Hegseth said dealing with our hiomeless population wasn't really his deal. But it could become "his deal." Many bases have empty buildings, some going back to WWII; open bay barracks, etc. Stay tuned.

Dr. Jemar Tisby, a Black scholar of religion, has important things to say about Douglas Wilson, the right-wing Reformed minister whose patriarchal ideas (women should not be allowed to vote, gay people should be criminalized) Pete Hegseth is now shopping around. Jemar has himself been personally targeted by Wilson.

Footnotes by Jemar Tisby · Douglas Wilson’s Theology Predicted Today’s PoliticsBy Jemar Tisby, PhD

”In 2020, members of Trump’s first administration stopped him from using the military against U.S. citizens, and, dramatically, members of the military stepped up to declare their support not for a president but for the United States Constitution. This time around, Trump has installed loyalist Pete Hegseth at the head of the military. Hegseth made his support for the president’s plan clear today…”

”Last Thursday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reposted a video in which Christian nationalist pastors express their opposition to the idea of women voting. … In his repost of the video, Hegseth wrote “All of Christ for All of Life.”  But the government of the United States of America is not, and never has been, based in Christianity.”

Last Thursday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reposted a video in which Christian nationalist pastors express their opposition to the idea of women voting. “I would like to see this nation being a Christian nation, and I would like this world to be a Christian world,” said Christian nationalist Doug Wilson. In his repost of the video, Hegseth wrote “All of Christ for All of Life.”
