People love to conflate religious views with political views. His religion is politics, not Christ. You know a tree by its fruit.
Monarchy was also one person, one vote no one dared mess with. I am challenging the very premise of voting as legitimate means for society to handle matters today just as philosophers challenged the legitimacy of monarchy in centuries past.
If the political class had its way, it would declare itself the be-all and end-all on expertise despite all the damage they have wrought in the past couple decades alone, to say nothing of history as a whole.
Granted that the historical person known as Jesus would probably have been appalled by the current incarnation of Christian Nationalism, Mike Johnson lives and breathes that ideology.
Hey, I know it's been ten months since you wrote this, but I just wanted to let you know that the Varyag will reference this comment in an article published tomorrow on Substack. For context, one of my friends asked me to write an article about Answers in Genesis, and as it turns out, Johnson is connected with AiG in some questionable ways.
I fixed a typo, then.
Excellent! There will be a follow-up article in a week, which also ties into this idea of politics as religion, since I managed to royally piss off John Pavlovitz when I called him out on exactly that.
