This psychosis of 'traditional values' is becoming clearer and clearer. Anne Applebaum calls this cabal of 'traditional' illiberal leaders "Autocracy Inc" and she is right on. They share messaging, share strategies, share legal tactics and share oppressive beliefs. And are focused on implementing change in societies that attempt to be open, to value individual liberties, and to build strong diverse communities. As a Christian who leans progressive and believes Christ was a force for true democracy, for care for the 'other', the weak, sick, and impoverished, the disinfranchised, I am dismayed and angry at the hijacking of Christianity to serve this oppressive movement which is really facism with a self righteous face. This is perverse, dangerous, and will come to no good end if citizens of western democracies don't aggressively stand up for our nations core values of freedom and justice for ALL.

I so agree, Sally. Perhaps the “Christian right” should actually consult Jesus … or re-name their cult.
