Evidence the House Committee on the 1/6 coup attempt makes clear, once again, is (i) the iron grip that Christian nationalism has on elite Republicans, and (ii) how deeply opposed to democracy and secularism CN dogma actually is. Former counsel Greg Jacob to Vice President Mike Pence said this without one shred of recognition of what he was actually saying about democracy or the US Constitution:
Q (paraphrasing): We heard that you and VP Pence started 1/6 with a prayer because you thought you were facing danger. How did your faith guide you on 1/6? (a grossly incompetent and stupid way for Mr. Aguilar to ask about this -- he is clueless about what he is doing and how to do it)
Jacob (paraphrasing): I pulled out my Bible, read through it and just took great comfort. In Daniel 6, Daniel had become the 2nd in command and looked to God for guidance.
Jacob didn't think to look to the US Constitution or the rule of law for guidance. He looked to God. And the incompetent idiot Aguilar let Jacob off the hook.
The only thing worse than incompetent Democrats is incompetent, neo-fascist Republicans. It's long past time for regime change. Current evidence suggests that maybe it's already too late.
