In a wide-ranging interview, Wilson said he opened a D.C. “church service” because of the number of Christians who adhere to his church’s teachings within the Trump administration. One of the most prominent followers is Hegseth, who attends the newly opened D.C. congregation.

“If Kamala [Harris] had won the presidency, there would have been basically zero evangelicals in the White House administration,” Wilson said. “And although Donald Trump is not an evangelical by any stretch … his administration is full of them.”

That’s why Wilson sees an opportunity for his beliefs to be seriously considered at this moment, including the belief that eventually the U.S. should be a Christian theocracy, whereby Christian principles dictate state authority and religion and politics are tightly intertwined.

    They’ve figured out how to do it without repealing the 19th. “One household, one vote” sound familiar?

      Many, many women live alone or are the head of their household. I once had a neighbor who did not believe women should be able to own homes by themselves. That’s when I learned how many single women owned homes in my neighborhood, and we eventually teamed up to look out for each other against this guy.

      So I imagine that rule you quoted would create a landslide of further rights restrictions so women could not live alone or own property ever again

        Was not until 1974 that it was codified at the federal level. Some men apparently pine for the days prior.
