WTF!</p><p>Secretary of Defense <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PeteHegseth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PeteHegseth</span></a> promotes repealing <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WomensRightToVote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WomensRightToVote</span></a><br> <br>by Judd Legum<br>Aug 11, 2025</p><p>"Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who oversees about 3 million military service members and civilian employees, reposted a video last week advocating repealing the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/19thAmendment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>19thAmendment</span></a>, which guarantees women the right to vote. The video is an excerpt from CNN anchor Pamela Brown's interview with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ChristianNationalist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChristianNationalist</span></a> pastor <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DougWilson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DougWilson</span></a>, who Brown reports believes 'women shouldn't be able to vote.'</p><p>"Brown speaks to two pastors in Wilson's Idaho church who agree with Wilson. 'In my ideal society, we would vote as households,' pastor Toby Sumpter says. 'And I would ordinarily be the one to cast the vote.' (This is the model also advocated by Wilson.) Pastor Jared Longshore says he supports the repeal of the 19th Amendment because 'the current system is not good for humans.'</p><p>"Hegseth is a member of a church that is part of Wilson's network, the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CREC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CREC</span></a>), in Tennessee. When a CREC branch recently opened in Washington, DC, Hegseth attended. Longshore delivered the sermon.</p><p>"Hegseth's response to the video — 'All of Christ for All of Life' — is a Christian nationalist slogan used frequently by Wilson. It stands for the idea that Christianity should dominate all aspects of life, including government.<br>In response to media inquiries, the Pentagon reiterated Hegseth's admiration for Wilson and his ideology. 'The Secretary very much appreciates many of Mr. Wilson's writings and teachings,' Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said.</p><p>Beyond repealing women's <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/VotingRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VotingRights</span></a>, what are Wilson's 'writing and teachings'? Let's review.</p><p>"Wilson argues that slavery benefited blacks and whites and was 'based on mutual affection' </p><p>"Wilson has sought to recast slavery in the pre-Civil War South as a mutually beneficial relationship in many cases. In a 1996 pamphlet co-written by Wilson, Southern Slavery as It Was, he argued that '[s]lavery as it existed in the South was not an adversarial relationship with pervasive racial animosity.' According to Wilson, '[b]ecause of its predominantly <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/patriarchal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>patriarchal</span></a> character, it was a relationship based upon mutual affection and confidence.' He asserts that "[t]here has never been a multi-racial society which has existed with such mutual intimacy and harmony in the history of the world,' which he attributes to 'the predominance of Christianity.'</p><p>Wilson claims that '[s]lave life was to [the slaves] a life of plenty, of simple pleasures, of food, clothes and good medical care.' He urges people not to 'overlook the benefits of slavery for both blacks and whites.'</p><p>"In Wilson's 2005 book, Black and Tan, he defends <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SouthernSlavery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SouthernSlavery</span></a> as It Was, and writes 'that slavery was far more benign in practice than it was made to appear in the literature of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/abolitionists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>abolitionists</span></a>.'' He also claims that slavery was biblically justified, claiming that 'the Christians who owned slaves in the South were on firm scriptural ground.'
