  • I think part of the danger here lies in ascribing too much power to the presidential office. I can easily name dozens of dominionists in Congress, thousands in state office, and they’ve captured the Supreme Court. They’ve infested government at local levels, too. The president is just icing.

    I think people put too much emphasis on the president, and mostly ignore the real threat. Trump is absolutely replaceable. People make fun of trump’s ‘3D chess’ phrase as though he meant it as a metaphor for thinking ahead – but he got that phrase from Bannon, and Bannon wasn’t talking metaphorically. Bannon meant it literally, as they were moving ‘tens of thousands of operatives’ (his words) like chess pieces into local and state office over the past couple of decades, ready to move and checkmate the government from within. And they’ve done that.







  • Sorry to keep clarifying, but I want to make sure people understand the depth of this threat.

    The only reason you could credibly claim Stone isn’t a dominionist is because it didn’t quite exist when he was criming for Nixon.

    He was intimately involved with the founders of dominionism, and worked very closely with all those same people during its rise over the past few decades, and now works so closely with its adherents, they could all be a Cronenberg monster.

    e: nevermind, I get your point. He’s a mercenary, and I agree, but his position as a mercenary specifically for dominionists makes him especially dangerous, IMO.
