JD Vance To Do Town Hall With Christian Nationalist Who Thinks We Are All Literal Demons

Lance Wallnau is a 'Seven Mountain Dominionist' and a complete loon.

Archived version

In what we can only assume is an effort to prove he’s not weird by standing next to people who may be even weirder than he is, JD Vance will be doing a town hall today with Christian extremist Lance Wallnau during a Monroeville stop on Wallnau’s “Courage Tour.”

[…]

Wallnau is a leader in the dominionist New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) movement and one of the authors of Invading Babylon: The 7 Mountain Mandate — a deeply disturbing Christian movement centered on them taking over the “seven spheres” of society — family, religion, education, media/entertainment, business, government, and science/technology (the science and technology mountain was added after COVID; media and entertainment used to be separate mountains). Once they do that, not only will they be in control of all of us … Jesus will come back!

[…]

Wallnau sees himself not just as a guy trying to practice his own religion in peace, but as engaging in “spiritual warfare” against the rest of us. Why? Because of how we are all demonic.

“The Left is loaded with demons,” Wallnau has said. “I don’t think it’s people anymore. I think you’re dealing with demons talking through people.”

    Aside from being “literally demonic,” Wallnau has claimed that Harris only beat Trump in the debate earlier this month because of “witchcraft.”

    “When I say ‘witchcraft’,” he tweeted, “I am talking about what happened tonight. Occult empowered deception, manipulation and domination. That’s what ABC pulled off as moderators, and Kamala’s script handlers set up the kill box. One sided questions and fact checking sealed the box. Witchcraft. It’s not over yet, but something supernatural needs to disrupt this counterfeit momentum because the same public that voted in Obama is voting again and her deception is advancing.”

    He has also repeatedly called Harris a Jezebel and accused her of having a “Jezebel spirit” — which, in addition to being a feminist website, a mediocre Bette Davis movie, and a lady from the Bible who is supposed to be especially evil but does not appear to have done anything more disturbing than the “good guys” of the Bible did (including God) apart from the fact that she did them while being a woman and having a different religion, has also long been used as a slur against Black women.

    This is who the Republicans align with. In 2024, as humanity faces its greatest crisis ever in climate change, these people drag us back into arguments over whether Black women are witches or demons.

    Notice how he calls fact checking “occult empowered deception, manipulation and domination.” That’s what he sees when someone checks facts. And his godly answer to that is… Donald Trump. That’s just as nuts as anything he can say about demons.

    And who’s the one on the side of the occult when he says, “something supernatural needs to disrupt this counterfeit momentum because the same public that voted in Obama is voting again”? He admits that the public support Harris, so calls for supernatural intervention against democracy. This is the value system of modern Republicans, dressed up as religion. In the end it’s just “men like me get to control everyone else.” No surprise that these people say man was created in God’s image, when their God just happens to agree in every way with their nasty men.
