This is my third time to the office. Im waiting for the Doctor to come in and whie waiting in the examination room, I spot this. I start flipping through it, and I am getting upset.
I wait for the doctor to come in. I immeditely ask him, hey what it this? why is it here? He blew me off and just said “oh its just an opinion piece” and I said, yeah, but who put it here, do you believe in this? And he just shrugged. I said, Im leaving, that is so wierd, thats weird to have in a doctors office. And I left. Ill never go back to that place.
I need a doctor who believes in science. You wanna be christain thats fine, but this literally says,for christain nationalism. gross.
Putnam CT, USA if anyone is curious. I want to post the photo in google maps reviews, but I am afraid to, even with my google account being a burner. Yes, it’s the red pocket of an overall blue state, but, I just, was not expecting to see this.
I fully support stupid business owners wearing their shitty politics on their sleeve. Cuts their business in half and virtually ensures they’ll fail.
Yeah, you are GUARANTEED not to get the best quality care at a doctor that believes in Christian Nationalism. It’s not the 50’s anymore, but they are trying to bring us back.
Christian nationalism did not exist in this sense in the 1950s. What we are calling Christian nationalism is toolism of big business and their Unholy alliance with the religious right.
The evangelicals, the baptists, the calvinists, they were never that political before like the '70s to '80s I forget something about Newt Gingrich and a bunch of assholes.
Using the term nationalism like it’s a good thing. Holy shit Batman.
One thing that’s not a dog whistle; they openly admit to being Christian Nationalists.
Seems a lot of the right wing “dog whistles” are more of an air raid siren. They don’t need to be subtle - a horrifying number of people build their whole identity around things like racism and religious superiority. The louder the whistle, the more support they drum up from those evil shits.
There are no Dog Whistles any more. That was when being a treasonous racist pedophile was something you weren’t proud of and wasn’t socially acceptable, so you had to communicate with your douchebag buddies under the radar.
MAGA Has given them permission to let their Traitor flag fly, and they are too stupid to understand that this won’t last forever, and the punishment will be a bitch, so they are demonstrating to the world just how ugly they are. At least when this is all over, we will have no doubts as to where the problems are. They’ve made it easy to improve society with a little thinning of the herd.
They’re typically used in real life situations, for example, when trying to figure out whether their coworkers are like-minded. Once they know they can get away with it, though … I have a few coworkers that will talk right-wing talking points practically non-stop. Another coworker and I have considered reporting them to HR, but all that would do is put a target on our backs; or at best, get them to silently hold a grudge against us. And it takes a lot more than office drama to get fired where I work.
I mean that’s horrifying. How can you trust your care to someone who believes you should be exterminated or at the very least forcefully subjugated and converted?
Great job asking about it.
“It’s just an opinion piece.”
Sure, bud. The magazine exists to advocate theocracy.
When I moved to the rural South I discovered half the businesses have crosses in their logos or big bible verses on the building’s outer walls, and yes, doctors had Christian shit in waiting rooms. Well, sure as shit, it meant they were the ones who would cut a corner and mark up a bill at the end. Shake your hand and call you their brother. Just avoid, just get up and leave and stop going to that place. It’s a warning sign every time, and every time I wish I’d have listened to my gut when I do go in.

That sounds like Moral Licensing at work, especially when you consider the bible-thumper context. This is the same reason why food-service workers (table servers mostly) learn to fear the after-church lunch rush.
