A look at Leonard Leo’s American theocracy

…pay attention to Leonard Leo. He is the judicial kingmaker responsible for the list from which Trump selected Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett. Leo has shaped this Court and acted effectively to keep its Republican justices from abandoning his – and their – sectarian-right vision of America.

    I remember when there were all these raging science vs religion debates about 15 years ago…but in recent years, it looks like lots of debatelords who were on the side of science and atheism in that debate jumped into the MAGA bandwagon and start to say theocracy is necessary to control the masses…scary crowd.

      I haven’t encountered a single person who supports trump who was previously on the side of science. Everybody who’s in the MAGA crowd now weren’t the brightest bulbs to begin with.

        All the ones I know are Jordan Peterson fans. It’s like he managed to hijack 1/3 the reaction against the vicious monopoly of virtue by religion into a reductive hate of the left’s moralism (the good and the bad parts) through a synthesis of psychology, theology and sociology.
