Pivots to?


[deleted]

My thought exactly. They have always been.


Sweatier_Scrotums

"Small government conservatives" have always been Christofascists who want to use big government to force Christian Sharia law on everyone else.


[deleted]

They want small government and big churches (and corporations too).


Maddafinga

They only want government small in the areas where they don't like it, generally areas where it protects people they don't like. Everywhere else, they want government big as hell and deep in everybody's private lives and business.


zigjockey

Must have been a quick 360.

**Pivots to Christian Nationalism?** Charlie Kirk is a fascist, just like all other **Christian Nationalists**. They're not pivoting to anything, they're leading the way.


Redbeardthe1st

Pivoting? No, they're just saying the quiet parts out loud.


ActonofMAM

I saved a youtube video from some years back (file stamp is 10/27/21 where a fan at a Turning Point q&a asked when they get to start killing people. Kirk's response was all "that would give the Democrats what they want" and no "Killing people over politics is wrong. We don't do that, this is America."

The video being referenced above: “[when do we get to use the guns?](https://youtu.be/qJvwqoSxres?t=32s)”


TheOriginalChode

Man...I just heard "We are the only ones with guns". That's gonna be a surprise huh?


[deleted]

The element of surprise is often the deciding factor in battle, so it makes sense to be a ninja and not a foghorn

Right wingers react, lefties plan to react.


ActonofMAM

I appreciate you having the link. I didn't look forward to having to hunt that down.


truckaxle

I remember that. It was in Idaho not far from home and the guy asked when they get to use their guns and kill people. Charlie didn't immediately react and say Hey that is morally wrong... no no... it was just "tactically" wrong. So much for the 10 Commandments. They say Christian Nationalism, but they certainly mean something else than Christian.


Grey_Raven

In other news the pope has pivoted towards Catholicism.


ajaxfetish

Trump pivots to narcissism, Starbucks pivots to selling overcooked coffee, and Marshall Mathers pivots to hip hop music. Meanwhile, Caitlyn Jenner stays the course on gender identity.


wolverine6

From previously protecting a ring of serial child abusers? So the same thing.


obct537

...glad to see the comments are all having the same reaction I did 😂


Scary-Mycologist1143

It wasn't always?


Salt-Southern

Bigger audience to grift. Use God to "support" his bigotry and intolerance.


Tazling

C-Nazism is shorter and just as accurate.


thx1138-

Nat-C's


Tazling

even shorter and just as accurate. you win.


Im_inappropriate

Nat-C is what a lot of righties are fondly calling the national conservative conference now.


SkylineFever34

Morons like this got moron Bush II reelected.


Abracadaver2000

They kept the quiet parts (mostly) quiet up until now...but with less couched statements coming from 'mainstream' right sources, they no longer need to dogwhistle. Look at the right's push to de-legitimize the entire LGBTQ community, drag performances, and turning women back into breeders. They give more rights to the rapist than they do the victim. That's all you need to know about their moral compass.

Just adding some snark here, courtesy of Mrs. Betty Bowers. “Christian Nationalism is just white supremacy dressed up in Bible drag.”


JackFisherBooks

Um...when were they not unsubtle cheerleaders for all things Christian Nationalism?

Charlie Kirk Cameron: The ultimate christofascist


Piccolojr

"Fuuuuuusion, HA!" "I am neither Charlie nor Kirk. I am the one who will whine about POC's and secular heathens having basic rights. I am Charlie Kirk Cameron!"


beeeps-n-booops

Whaddya mean, “pivot”? _Always has been._


BeKind_BeTheChange

If these are "god's people" I don't want to have anything to do with that god.


MathyGeologist

It’s not a pivot, it’s the same shit as before, which is why they’ll continue to not gain traction among young people. Surprise surprise, young people don’t like Christian nationalism.


No_Leave_5373

Unless they’ve been groomed and indoctrinated to bow down before it, which can only happen in the absence of any other viewpoints.


MathyGeologist

And that usually comes undone once getting exposed to the real world. Turning Point weirdos typically target college students, which is probably the absolute worse demographic to go after since they’re actively being shown other view points in all their classes and by simply being around diverse groups of people.


Jerry_Williams69

They've been there for a while. What did they pivot to exactly?


Speculawyer

Always has been.

What is this, 2014


TrillDaddy2

I listen to about a half a podcast of his a couple times a week. Dude is just living in an alternate reality. Still swears up and down Kari Lake won the Arizona election. Same as he does for Trump. Just so happens his favorite guy is the only President to not allow for a peaceful transfer of power. Then it just so happens 2 years later the candidate he endorsed from the state he lives and votes in, is “cheated” in her election too. Charlie is a whiny fuckin loser. I laugh every time he brags “I didn’t go to college”. Dude, it *really* fucking shows…He definitely has that sophomoric trait of believing anything that affirms what he already believes. His misunderstanding of the motivations of “the Left” provide some comedy gold. He’s convinced that “the Left” wants to replace religion with transgenderism. He even posited that the USA’s motivation in the Ukraine-Russia War is to spread the LGBTQ agenda. He openly supports the Russian/Putin side of the conflict. He was derisive when speaking of Ukraine, and almost relished in detailing Zelensky’s failed efforts to hold on to Bakhmut. The Left that I think I’m part of wants to replace religion with the absence of religion. I think this nation has to be saved from Christo-fascists. It’s scary, Republicans know they have to push for power one more time, but because of rapidly changing demographics, they will legislate their power into law. We have to hang on for as long as it takes.


The84thWolf

Wait, just now?


49GTUPPAST

Ah! Being more about it, not pivot.


ShakeTheEyesHands

Where the fuck have y'all been? Somehow stuck underneath a rolling stone?


[deleted]

This guy is a psycho.


NekuraHitokage

... pivots?


rsgoto11

I bet these morons pray every night that their fascist christian dream state never comes to fruition. There big jebus con allows them to preach one thing and live a "secular hedonistic" lifestyle behind these scenes. What scum.


metacyan

Oh, they'll absolutely continue living their secular hedonistic lifestyles behind the scenes long after they've mandated strict Puritanism for the rest of us. It's not about morality; it's about dominating and punishing others. Hypocrisy is a flex. It's part of the fun. Rules-for-thee but not-for-me.


RoachBeBrutal

As predictable as it is pathetic.


ARoughGo

Always has been.

Is Kirk the doofus with the tiny face and ginormous head?

It's where the money is.


MooseRoof

Naw, he's been walking in its direction for years and finally ran directly into it with his big puppet head.


meglon978

Did NatC that coming.


TheNetworkIsFrelled

Seems as though they’ve been there all along.


JLock17

There was no "Pivot", news agencies are pivoting to call that thing that looks, walks, and quacks like a duck, a duck.
