Thank you for posting this. I agree with you whole heartedly. Pete Hegseth version of Christianity is about power and exclusion; not about Jesus' teachings.

We are all in this together. One line from the Quran comes to mind, it is around 5:31 - I could have made you one community, I chose to test you, race to do good with what I have given you...
The First Amendment is a particularly important target of kleptocrats.
Freedom of Speech and the Press are under attack and annihilation from an aggressive and dangerous group of billionaires who see themselves as our new monarchy.
Freedom of Assembly is one of their targets as well. The suppression of vocal peaceful protests is important to the oligarchs.
Freedom of Religion is to be constrained and limited to the dogma of these same elites.
Americans 🇺🇸 are living in this kleptocracy that was ultimately created by the unlimited money 💰 allowed by the Citizens United decision (which overturned reasonable bi- partisan law) which said billionaires and anyone else with billions are allowed to buy elections and politicians with no limits compliments of the most political Roberts Court.
This is one of many pro oligarchy and pro authoritarian decrees from this court which deemed a president that they prefer is a monarch. This same group pretends to be originalists of the Constitution but that is just a device that they use when it suits.
The Second Amendment is next. That is something that they also will want in their effort to control Americans 🇺🇸.
There is a moral sickness in this country: millions of people do not care how many people are hurt as long as it’s not them. We all need to defend and support each other.
