Mike Johnson previews GOP strategy for the mid-terms: smearing Democrats as anti-God communists.

We can only hope. And it’s worth pointing out that most leftists are aligned with Jesus’ teachings exponentially more than your perverted definition of it being all about hate and vengeance. Isn’t that why Islam is so bad?

House Speaker Mike Johnson spoke via video to the Family Research Council’s Pray Vote Stand activist conference Saturday. As he prepared to hit the campaign trail for Republican House candidates, Johnson repeated his assertions that God will bless Republicans by increasing their majority in the midterm elections. He also previewed his messaging strategy for the next five weeks: demonizing Democrats as communists.

FRC President Tony Perkins introduced Johnson by telling activists who might be discouraged about current polls to remember that Johnson’s leadership role is a sign of the “tremendous progress” that religious-right activists’ prayers and political efforts have brought about.

Johnson agreed, saying:

We have gained ground, and thanks be to God, we won unified government in 2024. And remember, if you remember, even up to the night before that election, the pundits were saying that we would not keep the House majority and that we might lose the Senate and that even President Trump couldn’t win, but we know the outcome. And so Republicans were given control again at the White House, the Senate, and the House—unified government.

    Holy shit, Mike “Masturbates with his son” Johnson is spot fucking on:

    The most dangerous candidate for Congress right now is not the openly avowed Marxist socialists because they tell you what they’re about…They’ve calculated, Tony, that over two or three election cycles they can elect enough Marxists to quite literally take over everything…And what I was going to say is that the most dangerous candidate for Congress right now isn’t the person waving that flag. It’s the Democrat running as a so-called moderate. When we know very well that that moderate Democrat wing is not going to exist anymore. They’ll have no power because the energy, the excitement, the grassroots, is on the side of the insurgent left. And they will move that party off the cliff. That’s what’s gonna happen.

    Fuck centrist dems and their Nazi beliefs on trans folk.

      Translation: “People have finally caught on to the corporate Democratic playbook and don’t like it! That was working so well for us, pretending they’re avowed enemies when they’re as happy to take AIPAC funds as we are. Now we actually have a challenge to failed neoliberalism, Mamdani is doing that asshole thing of being responsive to constituents, and we aren’t prepared, so let’s grab a page out of the '50s as though the Red Scare has legs 70 years later.”
