This is my third time to the office. Im waiting for the Doctor to come in and whie waiting in the examination room, I spot this. I start flipping through it, and I am getting upset.

I wait for the doctor to come in. I immeditely ask him, hey what it this? why is it here? He blew me off and just said "oh its just an opinion piece" and I said, yeah, but who put it here, do you believe in this? And he just shrugged. I said, Im leaving, that is so wierd, thats weird to have in a doctors office. And I left. Ill never go back to that place.

I need a doctor who believes in science. You wanna be christain thats fine, but this literally says,for christain nationalism. gross.

Putnam CT, USA if anyone is curious. I want to post the photo in google maps reviews, but I am afraid to, even with my google account being a burner. Yes, it's the red pocket of an overall blue state, but, I just, was not expecting to see this.

I have no idea what any of these points mean. Done with Notre dame? What the fuck is this asshole talking about? Who the fuck is Notre dame? Love and mass migration I don't even know where he's going with that, Mass migration is literally the bread and butter of Christian nationalism, opposing it. Nonsense.

I parse the "Love and Mass Migration" thing pretty easily. A common (and reasonable) rebuttal to these types is to ask, "well how can you love your neighbor as a Christian, when you support the violent deportation of your migrant neighbors?"

I garuntee that article is twisting the concept of Christian love to day that, actually, deportations are loving actually, or somesuch horseshit.

I have Nooo clue about the Notre Dame one. Though I am morbidly curious

*guarantee. No shade, it's a common mistake, I just like being helpful.

As far as the Notre Dame thing? I have no idea. Maybe it's referencing the fire at the Notre Dame back in 2019? A lot of Protestants were basically masturbating over it because they thought it was a sign that God didn't like Catholics.

Edit: Later comment clarified that the author of the article was a prof at Notre Dame. So I'm pretty sure this rag is at the very least Catholic-adjacent.

Catholics and christians are cut from the same cloth. This magazing advocates for theocracy. They dislike the pope, and want prayer in schools ect..

Catholics are Christians.

Can you imagine being so far right-wing that you think Notre Dame isn't conservative enough?

Bill Clinton used to campaign on hiring 100,000 new teachers. Maybe we need a 2028 candidate running on hiring 100,000 new therapists.
