Critics see the task force initiative as unnecessary and pandering to Trump’s base. But some Christian supporters said it is overdue, claiming the Biden administration had discriminated against them through actions and inactions.
The two-year task force, chaired by Attorney General Pam Bondi and composed of Cabinet and other government representatives, is assigned to review and “identify any unlawful anti-Christian” actions under the Biden administration, change any objectionable policies and recommend steps to rectify any past failures.
Bruce Ledewitz, a law professor at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, criticized the mindset behind the executive order as that of a powerful group claiming victimhood.
The Christian conservative movement — a core Republican constituency — now has significant sway on the Supreme Court and in numerous states, Congress and the presidency, Ledewitz said. And still, they declare, “We are victims,” he said.
These types of Christians see not being put first and foremost as anti-Christian bias. They’re Christian supremacists and theocrats, and they deserve to be put down.
Once again, the most religious Christians show they’re the least Christ-like.
Biden was one of the most devout Christian presidents we’ve had. But I guess it doesn’t count because he’s Catholic?
Probably that pesky D next to his name
DEM stands fir demon!
Gotta have an in-group and an out-group. Might as well have the most blindly obedient, and least critically thinking people as part of your in-group.
This is how they start meaningfully erroding abortion rights at the federal level, as well a gay rights.
They’ve long held that preventing a Christian from interfering in someone else’s life is an infringement on religious freedom.
They’re going to find ways to end Christian persecution by removing rules that say Christians have to fill prescriptions they think might be related to abortion, aren’t bound by anti discrimination laws, are institutionally allowed to break rules governing the behavior of hospitals, orphanages and adoption agencies, or any number of other charities.“Raises eyebrows”?
Those fuckers’ idea of persecution is not being allowed to persecute others.
To be fair, that’s basically why the puritans left England and came to America.
Those poor Christians! They are just sooooooo persecuted here in the US!! /s
Leopards are going to be full for the next 4 years, looking at you Muslims for trump…
4 years at the very minimum.
Maybe if you tied little red flags to your eyebrows.
You could use piercings but that’s pretty woke for Americans.
Christians always had a persecution complex sometimes stepping the line into martyr complex.
It’s sort of built into their belief system. Early Christian authors wrote prophecies that their followers would be persecuted for their beliefs. So any time they can claim it’s happening they get to say "see? Prophecy fulfilled!
But also, when your group has lived in a position of massive privelege for hundreds of years, equality feels like persecution. It’s the same reason groups like the proud boys have been so successful in recent years. It’s backlash over society heading in a direction where white men are not defacto leaders in control of everything.
“Stop discriminating against me and judging me and saying bad things about me! Also, you’re going to burn and suffer for all eternity in hell because of who you’re attracted to.”
What a fucking joke.
The Bible was in the project 2025s banned book list
I wonder how “dissenting” Christian groups like Quakers or even Catholics will fare.
Hmmm. Tax exempt status seems very favorable already.
Simply don’t take them serious because they aren’t. They argue in bad faith. Victims, lol. Pathetic.
