@npr: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth invited Pastor Doug Wilson to give a sermon at the Pentagon earlier this year. Wilson was invited as part of Hegseth’s monthly Christian worship service. The pastor’s appearance at the Pentagon was controversial. Wilson is a self-described Christian nationalist. He's called for repealing women’s right to vote, he’s defended slavery and he believes homosexuality should be a crime. Not long ago, those beliefs were considered fringe. But today, Wilson's teachings are entering the mainstream, according to religious studies scholars. That is why Wilson is worth paying attention to.   NPR's Leila Fadel sat down with Doug Wilson at his home church in Moscow, Idaho, where he explained why he wants the U.S. to become a Christian theocracy and what that would look like for different groups.   You can hear Wilson's full interview at NPR.org or on YouTube or Spotify.

This man Doug Wilson dangerous to Black people, and that was not brought up here. He is a paleo-Confederate!! He literally wrote a book defending the Antebellum South, arguing that Southern slavery was a time of 'mutual affection' that Black Americans actually benefited from! What the actual fkkkk! If this expletive and his likes had their way, we would be looking at real apartheid worse than the Jim Crow that we lived through as a nation.
