Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared a video about Christian domination in the age of Donald Trump — and his since sparked controversy.

Late Thursday, Hegseth posted to his X platform, “All of Christ for All of Life,” sharing a report from CNN that profiled Douglas Wilson, a self-described Christian nationalist pastor who has built an international network of dozens of churches, schools and a college since the 1970s. Hegseth has been identified as a prominent follower.

Wilson’s vision of a Christian society includes “women as an individual shouldn’t be able to vote.” His fellow pastors agreed — with one claiming, “in my ideal society, we would vote as a households.”

    It’s so fucking annoying they use this “vote as a household” thing as some kind of way to say that they aren’t saying that only men should be able to vote. But if you make one single connection to another belief they have, that men are the head of the household and decide how it is run and what happens inside it, you can see their real beliefs.

    Republican women, and especially evangelical christian republican women, are openly advocating for giving up their right to vote even if they don’t realize it (they usually do).

      My baptist mother only votes the way her shitbag husband tells her.

      She thinks it’s her duty despite claiming to be completely apolitical.
