Christian Nationalist Fascists

Praising Putin.
During the Cold War Evangelist Billy Graham crusaded against then communist Russia as being anti-American and anti-God. Fast forward to 2021 when Russia was massing troops to invade Ukraine and Franklin Graham, the son of Billy, said that it was time for the U.S. and Russia to stand together.[1] (You should consider reading the article in the footnote.) He enjoyed hobnobbing with Putin and his rich fascists. The apple fell far from the tree. Real far. Fascist far.
Franklin Graham is adept at playing both sides of the street and is also providing relief to Ukraine.[2] Like a lot of MAGA Christians he has two faces. He also supports the bizarre idea that God has chosen Trump, evidently not believing that the plague that took place in Trump’s last year was not divine Providence.
Graham’s salary from the relief organizations that he oversees is over $600,000 a year. In total he knocks down around $1 million a year and has a net worth of $10 million.[3] So, he’s just another Christian Nationalist multi-millionaire supporting the Führer Trump. FG also believes that there is a homosexual agenda in America, like MAGA sees pedophilia all over and refers to America as being in a dark place before the emergence of Trump. Again, seemingly forgetful of Trump’s 4 years as President and the plague.
Since I mentioned pedophilia, ex-Trump spiritual advisor and multi-millionaire Robert Preston Morris was in the news recently for having been accused of indecent acts against a child.[4] [5]
To be clear, Russia is, in fac, no longer Communist. Under Putin Russia has evolved to a fascist state or what MAGA Red Hat Republicans would call an “illiberal democracy” like Orban’s Hungary. Speaking of which, Hungarians are now marching in the streets against his repressive regime. Seeing much coverage of that in legacy media? People standing up against authoritarian rule in European nations? It’s happening there.[6]
It can happen here.
