Huh. You didn't see the post you quoted and responded to? Well, that's odd.

That was super easy. I could list more, if you want.

See here and scroll to the bottom:

I wonder if these Christian nationalists know that there never was a Federal ban on women voting. They were not allowed to vote because of the state rules. Some states/territories allowed women to vote as early as 1869 (Wyoming territory.)

I'm still waiting for you to tell me if you wouldn't mind if your wife lost her vote. It wasn't a hypothetical question.

In the post, Hegseth commented on an almost seven-minute-long report by CNN examining Doug Wilson, cofounder of the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches, or CREC. The report featured a pastor from Wilson’s church advocating the repeal of women’s right to vote from the Constitution, and another pastor saying that in his ideal world, people would vote as households. It also featured a female congregant saying that she submits to her husband.​

​

​

“All of Christ for All of Life,” Hegseth wrote in his post that accompanied the video.​

The video is of a CNN piece interviewing Doug Wilson and other pastors from the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches, with which Hegseth's church is apparently affiliated. One of the topics they broach is voting and several of them advocate returning to a system where women don't have individual votes, but rather the husband votes for his entire household. One pastor explicitly advocates for the repeal of the 19th amendment.

Imagine thinking that taking away rights is a “good thing”.
Is this where we are now?
Huh.

So, Pastor Wilson would like the USA to be a Christian nation, in a Christian world?

Look, it’s fine if people would like it if society was more in the control of Christians, (you’re mostly a great bunch!); but Wilson sounds as if he sees this as (part of his) “mission”.
Not being a Christian, myself, this doesn’t bother me at all.

It starts with “a Christian nation”, then it becomes the right kind of “Christian”.
Heretical churches wouldn’t be outlawed [as such] but let them try and get a zoning-waver to replace their steeple!

When all the correct* Christians are in charge, then we could set-our-sights upon getting the world to join our wisdom!
Or else.

Getting an entire planet with over 8 billion souls to the point of being able to call it a “Christian planet”, would require more than just tariffs as a velvet cudgel.

*oh, [Historically], when the Christians run things, they tend to sort out who’s okay and who should be made to see reason or get the heck outta the way. If a person “decides” to not belong to a favored flavor of Christianity, then they’ll have a hard time finding a job, or a bank to lend them money. People will see reason, they always do.
And of course the people deciding which denominations are kosher, will eventually make sure that such spiritual-allegiances to “correct churches”, will be strongly encouraged, even as they guard themselves against lying mountebanks who will only be committing to their new “faith” to make things easier), so they’re make it difficult to join.
And right like that, clerics are back in charge!

Yup, I’d be worried if I was a Christian, but I’m not, so : whew!::

So, have you formed an opinion about the Christian-Nationalist who’d be happy of half the population was silenced, politically?

Neither Hegseth nor Wilson say anything about women voting in video footage. And there's no quote in the article from either of them about women voting. Rather someone else said that he and his wife should reach a mutual decision on who to vote for, and as head of the family he should cast the vote. Which is just one guy's way of wanting to do things in his family.

So it seems to me there's some definite straw grasping going on with this. And one man's opinion is somehow supposed to allude that the Trump administration is planning on repealing the 19th amendment.
