6. Vance is all behind the religious takeover of America by the Dominionists.

We've only seen a fraction of what they want to accomplish so far. They're pinning hopes on Johnson and Vance - two people whom I consider to be the exact opposite of what "religious" is suppose to mean. For them, christianism is white nationalism and cruelty... period. Minorities and women are to be subjugated and stripped of rights. The pastors will tell them what to do, if their husbands won't. I worry we have a hell of a lot more to fear from christian dominionism than Iranian women fear Islamists. They are two heads of the same evil penny. And the only one who has rights is the male, if his skin color and religion is correct. And therein lies the problem... with all the christian sects, WHO decides "my way is the only way." ALL christianity states that there's is the "One, True Way"... and totally go on to misread the verse that states My Father's House has Many rooms (at least as I was taught it)... and I'm steeped into conservative, evangelical religion as one can be... altho it has been a few years since those "discussions" I had with family members way back when!

If Vance wins, or if Johnson advances or... gods forbid... Cruz gets anywhere near anything related to any REAL power... watch out. The next change is not from Democracy to Authoritarianism. We'll be as theocratic as any other Middle East country.
