"Wilson is only one of the crackpot Men of God affiliated with Vance and Hegseth who openly proclaim that marital rape is impossible. … 'The sexual act cannot be made into an egalitarian pleasuring party,' Wilson has written in one of his books. 'A man penetrates, conquers, colonizes, plants. A woman receives, surrenders, accepts…True authority and true submission are therefore an erotic necessity.'"

Yes, They're Coming for Same-Sex Marriage

This was always part of the right-wing plan. And it won't stop here.

"For Wilson, Hegseth represents a unique chance to spread his extreme ideology. Some at his church oppose female suffrage; his denomination is against women in combat, homosexuality, abortion, and pushes for an extremely traditional interpretation of family structure."

Pete and the Preacher Man

For now, the pastor Doug Wilson is having his moment. Wilson is a radical Idaho pastor who, as I’ve written, wants to try to make America Christian again by establishing a theocracy.

"And once that theology is embedded in law, it affects everyone — not just the people in the pews.

That’s why it matters who and what we platform in our churches."

"In the end, Wilson, this political regime, and its supporters want the United States to look a lot like the antebellum South. ...

What we see in Douglas Wilson’s theology today will become someone’s policy tomorrow.

Tisby writes,

"If we had paid attention to [Douglas] Wilson and the spread of his ideology, we could have foreseen the Trump regime coming.

What happens in politics is downstream of what happens in the church. …

Jemar has himself been personally targeted by Wilson.
