Talking out of both sides of their mouths is a common tactic with authoritarians. It allows them to communicate their true views to the people who they want to hear them. At the same time, they construct a facade of plausible deniability so they can keep accessing mainstream politics — at least until such time as their fascist views become mainstream enough that they feel comfortable being more out about it. --Amanda Marcotte; Salon 2.2.22 Trumpists thought the invasion of Ukraine would be a fascist triumph, but now they're backpedaling

Aug 14, 2021: 
​I found this book. Turmoil in the Toybox,  at a yard sale today along with a lot of vintage (circa 70 and 80s) Christian themed books. I remember this one because people from church would talk about it. The essential theme is that the occult and satan is taking over your kids toybox. Granted some could be oddly influential (nothing demon possessed though) but this book also includes Barbie, ET, Cabbage Patch dolls, Care Bears, Smurfs...etc etc etc. . I remember just kind of laughing off some of the stuff back then.......and this many years later (the book came out in 1986) seems  rather odd that I dont see much satanic dark influence that came from kids toyboxes. The idea made for good horror movies i guess with Chucky and Killer Clowns (though toy clowns were not mentioned in the book. )

​The book is endorsed by Marlin Maddoux, who back then was a big right wing talk radio show host who was kind if an overtly religious right pre-Rush Limbaugh type. Maddoux issued early challenges to people to not pay attention to the news because it was evil propaganda. It sits in the foundation of  some of the nuttyism that was building then and would eventually lead us to where we are at today where the right wing picks and chooses the news they like and disregard and ignore the rest.

Jan 18, 2021: Kentucky Today: Mississippi flag change influenced by SBC resolution
An initial version of the resolution proposed by the 2016 SBC Resolutions Committee called for “sensitivity and unity” regarding display of the Confederate battle flag. The draft asked Christians who display the flag “to consider prayerfully whether to limit, or even more so, discontinue its display.” But former SBC President James Merritt proposed amending the resolution to take a stronger stance against the flag, and his amendment was adopted.

July 9, 2021: Evolution News: ​Stephen Meyer Tells Hank Hanegraaff About a Providential Debate — and Much More
​For his podcast “Hank Unplugged,” Hank Hanegraaff talked with Stephen Meyer about Return of the God Hypothesis, and noted the striking way the book is framed. Hanegraaff “couldn’t put it down” because of that framing — the story of Meyer’s Toronto debate with the aggressive atheist cosmologist Lawrence Krauss, teaming up with a Christian theistic evolutionist of the BioLogos stripe, Denis Lamoureux. There were a couple of striking things about the debate, where Meyer was overcome early on by a migraine brought on by the bright lights.
