The crowdfunding platform preferred by Trump’s alleged co-conspirators is also a hit with neo-Nazis
If you’re praying to take America back to a better time, congratulations, you’re a racist. The “golden age” was propped up by a Jim Crow enforced underclass.
They’re just losing their shit because the oligarchs are no longer interested in giving their poor white peasants preferential treatment. I’m honestly surprised they don’t start praying to Exxon and the like to bring that back.
“GiveSendGo has clearly abandoned its original mission of ‘funding hope,’ instead becoming a tool for the Christian nationalist purveyors of hatred, disinformation, and political violence,” says Rev. Nathan Empsall, the executive director of Faithful America, a national Christian advocacy organization which launched a petition signed by 34,000 people condemning GiveSendGo’s hosting of extremist fundraisers. “As Christians, we are called to stand against authoritarianism and white supremacy, not give them a platform.”

There’s nothing respectable about this company. Hardcore Christians (evangelicals) in the USA are hateful pieces of shit.

And the head of the thuggish New England neo-Nazi group, NSC-131, is holding a pair of fundraisers for a deceased member who went by the handle “PurePower88.” One donor wrote: “I really wish you were here right now and we can all be smashing every Drag Queen Story Hour in New England.” The campaigns have raised more than $10,000.
You don’t say…

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
My eyes are almost widening and my mouth is almost opening from the surprise I am feeling right now, alas, I am not strong enough.
This is what my face looks like right now after reading the headline: (._.)
Ironic. Hitler despised Christianity as “weak” and blamed it for destroying Western civilization.

I love all the bigotry in this comment thread. Very ironic
