As fundamentalist Christianity is in decline, this scenario may have problems airing in a The Handmaid's Tale episode.

Fundamentalist Christianity may be waning, but Christian nationalism is clearly on the rise.

Evidence? It seems that the rise of nutcases such as MTG indicate the exact opposite, a last gasp.

The rise of the nutcases IS the evidence. In the case of MTG, she won election with over 70% of votes cast, and won her primary by double digits. Lauren Boebert did much the same. Both are favoured to be re-elected.

Ted Cruz reminisces about the 'gorgeous woman in a halter top' who sat behind him at Yankee Stadium (yahoo.com)

Ted Cruz is proud of himself for not noticing this woman that he obviously noticed.  What a dumb fuck.

  • He said on his podcast he reminded himself to avoid getting caught on camera looking at the woman.

It's not a big feat for a republican to win a solid republican district, no matter how dumb or nutty they are. In such a district, the majority of voters regard being a Democrat as far worse than being stupid or crazy.

Agreed, but USian conservatives - in any district - seem to be more comfortable that ever casting their votes for avowed Christofascists.

Of course, 51% of the vote means 100% of the power, unless one is willing to cheat.
