Showing Original Post only (View all)This is what theocracy looks like [View all]
Below is the picture of the closed-door signing ceremony Governor Pence's office released:
What kind of image is this? Does this suggest he is the governor of all the people of Indiana, or does he represent a push for something approaching theocracy? The one campaign ad I saw from his run for governor consisted of an endless stream of RW Christian dogwhistle phrases, (humble?)bragging about his "servant's heart" and such. I want to puke.
Here's who was invited:
Pence signed the bill during a private ceremony in his Statehouse office just before 10 a.m. Thursday. He was joined by supportive lawmakers, Franciscan monks and nuns, orthodox Jews, and some of the state's most powerful lobbyists on conservative social issues.
The event was closed to the public and the press.
The event was closed to the public and the press.
This is the same guy who wanted to create his own taxpayer-funded propaganda ministry (an idea he walked back in a hurry when news of this leaked) and who has worked tirelessly to undermine the office of the state's duly-elected top education official (who received more votes than anyone else currently holding statewide office). Pence is an enemy of American democracy.
