Newsweek - A right-wing pastor called on Republicans to not vote for Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene and other conservatives running for office for not "obeying" their husbands.
Greene, a controversial Georgia Republican who has emerged as a leader among U.S. conservatives, has often faced backlash from Democrats for her comments on topics such as race, vaccines or the 2020 election. But her status a woman politician recently drew an attack from a right-wing preacher from Spokane, Washington, who blasted her and other female Republicans for running for office.
Pastor Jason Graber of Spokane's Sure Foundation Baptist Church made the remarks in a sermon uploaded on Tuesday. "But today we have Marjorie Taylor Greene. And anybody that votes for her, you're not a real conservative. Fake conservatives," he said. "Why? Because Marjorie Taylor Greene should be at home being obedient to her husband."

Patriarchy at its finest. Or rather stupid stuff from patriarchs
See…
This is just what happens. Just like most politicians were worried about in the 40s, 50s, and into the 1960s, where we actually fought wars against “the domino theory”, which may be visualized as a ‘slippery-slope’. In the US, we have let some loony authoritarian wackos gain political headway, where it seems to have ‘snow-balled’ into some other loony authoritarian - in this case ‘religious’ – wacko make even more self-righteous authoritarian demands.
Where does it all stop?
So what if this analogy is a little half-a$$ed, but the whole thing is kinda funny. OK Schadenfreude. Or maybe like ‘light comedy’ compared to what I have come to believe MTG and MAGA Repugs have come to represent – a ‘fifth column’.
In her case, I'd have hoped the MAGAts would listen to him.
