Whether Republicans are being convinced by their influencer partners that electoral fraud is easy, they are clearly convinced that Dems do it all the time, so the GOP is justified, nay commanded by provenance, to do the same to overcome the purported rash of Dem cheating.

When I started the original version of this thread over on IC several years ago, most of the posts were about random citizens spouting conspiracy theories and concerns about very local elections of such people. In just a few years, almost the entire GOP is infected, top down, with the far right conspiracy mind worms.

Good news.... win or lose, I think this is the political end for Trump and Kari Lake. Gallegos is going to smoke Lake in AZ.

The staid WSJ struggles to describe the madness of the New Apostolic Reform movement

“… Wallnau, 68 years old, is one of the most important figures in the New Apostolic Reformation, an influential movement in evangelical Christianity that blends direct experience of the Holy Spirit with a call to engage in politics as a form of “spiritual warfare.” He opposes abortion and same-sex marriage, but his main goal is to elevate Christians to greater influence to transform society.

Wallnau’s “Courage Tour” events, equal parts tent revival and political mobilization, are part of his strategy to help put Trump back in the White House. On a recent weekend, JD Vance, Trump’s running mate, appeared at a Wallnau event in the swing state of Pennsylvania.

…
Matthew Taylor, a scholar who tracks the New Apostolic Reformation, says that no evangelical leader did more than Wallnau to provide a theological rationale for religious conservatives to accept Trump. “Wallnau was already popular,” said Taylor, of the Maryland-based Institute for Islamic, Christian, and Jewish Studies. “But he became a mega evangelical celebrity through his endorsement of Trump and using his ideas to backstop Trump.”

Now, Taylor sees Wallnau as presenting a threat beyond his advocacy for a political candidate. “I would call Lance Wallnau a Christian supremacist,” Taylor says. “He wants Christians to be in charge of society and to tear down the wall of separation between church and state.”

… Wallnau understands politics as a battle between the forces of good and evil, and his preaching is often infused with an apocalyptic urgency. He teaches a course called “End Time Jesus” which he says will “awaken believers to the true manifestation of Jesus in these last days.”

Wallnau has said that “powers of darkness” are influencing the presidential election and has called Vice President Kamala Harris a “Jezebel spirit,” suggesting she has literally been influenced by demons.

Wallnau and other leaders in the New Apostolic Reformation often call for “spiritual warfare” to defeat political opponents they describe as influenced by demonic forces.

Wallnau said he understands that most people would find talk of demons to be bizarre, saying, “there’s no territory that’s more calculated to make us sound crazy.” But he said the reality of disembodied spirits is well-rooted in Christian theology. …”
