   Many on the right have openly embraced “Christian nationalism” as a goal, even though it is wholly anathema to our fundamental democratic values and cherished personal freedoms.

   How have we stumbled our way toward the Gilead America of The Handmaid’s Tale? And how do we fight back against it? That’s today’s subject in The Big Picture.

     @georgetakei
     Isnt it great that they are exposing their own shit and broadcasting it everywhere… sooner or later there will be a great sound, a thump, when even the dullest among us get it. That will be the great sigh “Da FU” when it all flips over and everyone finds kindness and grace beats stupidity and bullying. Amen

     @georgetakei we are living in scary times. Let’s make sure we don’t make fiction become fact.

     “In the coming years, if democratic secularism succeeds over Christian nationalism—as it must—a Gilead-like theocracy can remain merely within the pages of dystopian fiction and not become the dark future of America.”

     @georgetakei Yes, despite what MTG says, nationalism of any sort, especially christian nationalism, is very dangerous.

     @georgetakei I'm pretty sure nationalism and Christianity aren't meant to be mixed
