Back in 2017, I wrote a piece about the likely fragmentation of the conservatives in Australia1. Here, most of the conservatives largely belong to what is ironically named the Liberal Party, with a few other small fringe groups soaking up the racist and religious extremists. That article was precipitated by one of the religious nutters in the Liberal Party, spitting the dummy, leaving that party and attempting unsuccessfully to start his own2.
In that conservative fragmentation article, I opined that the right in Australia is an odd mixture of libertarians, religious nutters, economic bastards (delusional conservatives), middle of the road conservatives and racist halfwits. They make for ‘interesting’ reading and televisual entertainment and, I am sure, makes the more erudite of the general populace feel like geniuses by comparison1.
I expect a similar fragmentation of the far right in the US may have already started, as some seem to realise that Trump is losing control, not only of his mouth and other bits of his festering carcass, but also many of his MAGAts.
Donald Trump is clearly a malignant narcissist3, and professional psychologists argued that the disorder they discern in Trump “makes him deceitful, destructive, deluded, and dangerous”4.
The bizarre conglomeration of supporters of Trump have disparate drives ranging from self-aggrandisement, cruelty, bigotry, imposing religious beliefs on others, support for Israel, and hatred of Israel. They fall into several broad categories which are listed below.
Opportunist Republican turncoats
While it is difficult to know the reasons that so many Republicans, who were critical of Trump in his first attempt to take over the Republican Party, have now kissed the ring and seem to be quite happy to see him destroy US democracy, I suspect it is simple opportunism on their part.
JD Vance, now Trump’s Vice President, was a very vocal ‘never Trumper’ calling Trump “an idiot”, “reprehensible” and “America’s Hitler” as Trump rose to power in 2016. Fast-forward eight years and Vance transformed himself into one of Trump’s staunchest backers, hand-picked by the latter to run on his presidential ticket5.
Marco Rubio, now Trump’s Secretary of State, hammered Trump as hijacking the conservative movement. He also mercilessly mocked Trump’s alpha-male status. At a rally, the Rubio said it was “time to pull off his mask so that people can see what we are dealing with here. … He is a con artist”. He added: “He runs on this idea he is fighting for the little guy, but he has spent his entire career sticking it to the little guy — his entire career”6.
During the lead up to the 2016 election, Lindsey Graham was one of Trump’s fiercest and most colourful critics, calling him a “nutjob” and a “jackass.” But he didn’t stop there. The same month Graham dropped out of the presidential race, he said “You know how to make America great again? Tell Donald Trump to go to hell … He’s a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot. He doesn’t represent my party. He doesn’t represent the values that the men and women who wear the uniform, are fighting for.” In another 2016 rant, Graham said of Trump “I think he’s a kook. I think he’s crazy. I think he’s unfit for office”, whereas, in 2017 he said: “What concerns me about the American press is this endless, endless attempt to label the guy some kind of kook not fit to be President”7. If that is not rank opportunism, nothing is.
So, I expect as soon as Trump falters and looks like being a terminal liability, those arse-lickers will very quickly backpedal away from him. If Trump is removed via the 25th amendment to the Constitution, which permits removal of the president in the event of incapacity, which seems likely, then Vance will become president, and the MAGAts will coalesce around him. However, Eyeliner Vance is not as popular among the MAGAts as Trump is. Despite that, he has been poking his head above the White House parapet to put out social media posts calculated to increase his popularity with the MAGAts. Vance is much more intellectually capable than many members of the administration, which isn’t saying much8.
The Epstein pressure on Trump is so intense that he has decided that telling Republicans to vote to release the Epstein files in full is now his best option for repairing the breach in his movement, provided the files have been redacted to remove Trump as much as possible. It is a ploy that underscores Trump’s waning power over the herd he has long controlled. His erstwhile loyalists are now fashioning a Trumpian politics without the need for Trump. In a recent interview with Fox News, the Trump said, “I know what MAGA wants better than anyone else.” When you have to say it, it is no longer true8.
What I suspected would happen is after Trump’s gofers commenced an Epstein investigation into assorted Democrats, this would be used as an excuse not to release many of the Epstein files because they ‘may compromise an investigation’. My expectation here would be that they needed some form of justification. However, they didn’t. They just didn’t release most of the Epstein files, and those that were released were heavily redacted. There seems to be no mechanism to make Trump’s regime adhere to the law.
Apart from such opportunists who have gone from disdainful to obsequious, some of the others who have kissed the ring include the following:
Christofascists like Russell Vought
While Elon Musk has clearly been a major influence on the Trump administration, the less well known, but much more influential, power behind the presidency is Russell Vought. Vought is the director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) – the nerve centre of the administration’s sweeping changes. Vought acts mostly outside the media spotlight. He is fully committed to a radical overhaul of the way the US presidency works – and his deep religious convictions have led him to believe there should be more Christianity embedded in government and public life.
He has vowed to “be the person that crushes the deep state”, a non-existent entity that Trump used as a cover to install a ‘deep state’ in the person of Vought.
Vought was one of the main authors of the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, the blueprint for Trump’s second term of office9. The aim of Project 2025 is to make the US a Christian theocracy10.
Tech and other billionaires
Billionaires like Musk (Xitter, Tesla), Bezos (Amazon), Zuckerberg (Meta), Brin (Google), Altman (Open AI), Cook (Apple), Murdoch (Fox News), Arnault (Louis Vuitton) among many others were at Trump’s inauguration11, to kiss the ring in the hope that Trump could give them more tax cuts, or at least not attempt to damage their business interests.
Peter Thiel, who donated a huge amount of money to Republicans during the 2022 mid-term elections, married a male in 2017, in Vienna12, and they have two children together. Although he has donated money to gay equal rights organisations, he has been quoted as saying: “Since 1920, the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women – two constituencies that are notoriously tough for libertarians – have rendered the notion of ‘capitalist democracy’ into an oxymoron.” After this created controversy, he backpedalled and said it was simply a statistical observation about voting patterns13.
Thiel also isn’t a fan of diversity initiatives, which he has called “very evil and very silly” and, like most obscenely rich Americans, has used his money to try to influence politics. He threw his weight behind Donald Trump in 2016 and backed numerous anti-abortion candidates. However, the billionaire took a step back from political funding in 2024. One reason for this seems to be the fact that he realised that Trump was dangerously incompetent. Furthermore, his husband didn’t want him to give any more money to the political candidates he formerly backed. Maybe it’s because these candidates spend half their time yelling homophobic conspiracy theories about people like Thiel being child groomers and screaming that children of gay couples are in danger14.
Jewish zionists
Miriam Adelson is a committed zionist with links to right-wing figures in the US. The Adelsons (Miriam and husband Sheldon, who died in early 2021) became Republican mega-donors in the 2010s, giving more than $600m to support Trump’s three presidential campaigns and to back other Pro-Israel Republican candidates since 2015. Miriam Adelson donated $120 million to Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign. Her position hardened after the October 7, 2023 attacks. She wrote a column in Israel Hayom – one of Israel’s most widely read newspapers, which she owns – calling for denying critics of Israel employment and public office, and the defunding of their universities and political parties15. This conflation of criticism of Israel with antisemitism is much the same remedy put forward by Australia’s Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism, Jillian Segal, in her dodgy report into ‘antisemitism’16.
Yoram Hazony is another zionist who supposedly is an ‘intellectual leader’ of the American right, and is said to have Trump’s ear (presumably the one which wasn’t ‘shot’). He set up National Conservatism in 2019, which he says forms the intellectual substrate underpinning Trumpism17. The irony is that he has been deeply troubled by the virulent antisemitism expressed by prominent MAGAts, after the former Fox News mouthpiece Tucker Carlson’s interview with neonazi Nick Fuentes (see below). This is often expressed as Jews being the “enemies of Christ”18.
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is another source of funds for the Trump regime. One of its allies, the Republican Jewish Coalition has spent over $14 million since 2020. AIPAC has donated to Vice President Vance, Secretary of Defense Hegseth, Secretary of State Rubio, Homeland Security Secretary Noem, Attorney General Bondi, Director of National Intelligence Gabbard, among others. In 2024, when she was South Dakota Governor, Noem signed a bill conflating criticism of Israel with antisemitism19.
Christian zionists
Christian zionism is theological and political movement that supports the return of the Jewish diaspora to a Jewish homeland in Palestine, based on readings of parts of the bible that suggest that Palestine is a sacred land promised to the Jews by God. Even more bizarre is that Christian zionists believe that by blessing and supporting the Jewish people and the modern state of Israel, they themselves will be blessed by God. They hold that the return of the Jews to Palestine is one of the prophecies that needs to be fulfilled in order for the second coming of Jesus to occur. Religious nutters have been stating that the ‘end-time is nigh’ for almost two millennia and they never seem to learn when faced with the fact that all these predicted second comings haven’t happened.
It is this idiotic belief that is driving the grotesque, amoral American support for the state of Israel and its genocide in Gaza. Polling in the US suggests that a majority of evangelicals, some tens of millions of them, believe that the founding of Israel is prophetically significant as stated above. There is a very large lobby group in Washington D.C. which claims to have over ten million members, most of whom are evangelicals; it is called Christians United for Israel20.
Neonazis
Neonazis in the US were in the news some time ago with the torch march in Virginia. In August 2017, individuals from at least 35 US states across converged on Charlottesville to protest the planned removal of a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. It was the largest gathering of white supremacists in a generation. While marching these neoazis could be heard chanting “Jews will not replace us” and “Blood and Soil,” with the latter being a 1930s German Nazi slogan (Blut und Boden). By the time this rally ended, a counterprotester was killed and dozens injured after a neonazi drove a car into a crowd21.
Trump initially refused to condemn the rally, and stated: “there are very fine people on both sides”. He later was forced to ‘clarify’ that he was not “talking about the neonazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally – but you had many people in that group other than neonazis and white nationalists” that “were there to innocently protest”22. Yeah, right.
In several other cases, Trump has refused to denounce neonazis and other white supremacists. In fact, he usually tries to put the blame on anyone from the left of politics (as much as that exists in the US), even blaming non-existent organisations such as ‘Antifa’
Nick Fuentes is a white nationalist who advocates pulling the Republican Party further to the extreme far-right end of the political spectrum. An outspoken admirer of fascists such as Mussolini, Fuentes emerged during the attempted 2021 coup, which falsely claimed that Donald Trump had won the 2020 presidential election. Some Republican lawmakers have collaborated with Fuentes’ America First Foundation. He sees America’s “white demographic core” as central to its identity. Fuentes and his fans call themselves “groypers,” which refers to a far-right meme based on a cartoon of a giant toad. At least one of Fuentes’ former allies, Patrick Casey, accused him of cultivating a “cult-like atmosphere” among his fans. In response, Fuentes stated he did not “think cults are necessarily a bad thing” and that “cults are really the only place where there’s … loyalty”23.
People like Fuentes believe that the diehard MAGAts are far too tepid. The new interlopers, an alliance of white supremacists, antisemites and theocrats, want not so much “America First” as “White Christians Only”, and in international affairs a return to near isolationism, including a complete withdrawal of support for Israel and a termination of what they see as malign Israeli influence (read “Jewish control”) over the American government24.
As I state above, the Trump Republicans and their supporters and donors are a bizarre mix of competing interests. The opportunists are there for self-enrichment and as soon as Trump has a stroke or dribbles down his shirt, they will get rid of him. The christofascists are there to make sure that the law is based on their peculiar reading of the bible (even to the extent of inventing bits that aren’t in it). The billionaires are there to make sure Trump doesn’t increase the amount of tax they have to pay. The Jewish and Christian zionists are there to make sure Trump keeps sending large amounts of money and weapons to Israel. The Nazis are there to drag the US further to the right, and making sure that no money is sent to Israel and zionism is destroyed.
Trump initially appealed to the poor, gullible punters, because he said he would fix the system that screwed and impoverished them, and would unmask the paedophiles running the world. However, all he has done, is make it worse for them, and to protect the paedophiles such as himself. Suckers.

Thank you. An excellent analysis. I do very much appreciate your work.
Bron,
Thanks. We live in dark times and I feel I have to do what I can.
Good overview and on Heritage Foundation’s Vought one can go further, it’s part of the fossil fuel Koch Network, locally IPA, CIS etc.
Heritage cooperated on Project 2025 with Tanton Network, which shares donors with Koch Network, personified by Stephen Miller. Deceased white nationalist & former ZPG Zero Population Growth John ‘passive eugenics’ admired the white Australia policy, visited and hosted by SusPopAus in ’80s or ’90s (acknowledged); has informed Fox News…..
Further, 2024 Heritage developed (with Israeli input) Project Esther of which post Bondi, our RW MSM, LNP and influencers have been following, reported by NYT May 2025:
‘But critics such as Mr. Jacoby say the think tank is exploiting real concerns about antisemitism to advance its broader agenda of radically reshaping higher education and crushing progressive movements more generally. Project Esther exclusively focuses on antisemitism on the left, ignoring antisemitic harassment and violence from the right.‘
As Tanton said, it’s important not to be seen with extremists…..
Several years ago US journalist Brooke Binkowski via KPBS and UniCorn Riot presented the ‘donor architecture’ shared between Tanton and Koch Networks in ‘Eugenics, Border Wars & Population Control: The Tanton Network‘, while Koch and Tanton Networks now share Project 2025.
In plain sight, the mainstreaming and normalisation of BS, eugenics, violence etc.
Andrew,
Jeez! It’s worse than I knew.
Can they be fed “sponsored” MacChucks (MacDonald’s) and Kentucky Flies (Kentucky Fried Chicken) for every meal, remember the movie “Supersize Me” and what it did to the health of the “star” featured person. He could not make the full duration he set himself, and died relatively young a few years later.
Start with the Heritage Foundation and Tanton Network back room boys, and the public face leadership, and the Koch brothers, the ones in big coal anyway. There are some of the Koch family who are disputing the denial of climate change and the like.
If anything does come before courts, there needs to be a serious move to have judges recuse themselves if there is any whiff of allegiance to MAGAt, and very public so that should they not do so, they realize that they have sullied their own reputation, no recourse for defamation action.
Yep, they’ve targeted every possible approach to attempt to ensure they hold power and ONLY their perverse, anti-science and anti-people views will have primacy in national govt. They’ve tried vote rigging and voter culling, so far with little success; have issued economic threats to eductation institiutions, legal firms, states – 5 Democrat states being denied social service funding is “Tump’s” (he actually wouldn’t have a clue, he just rubber stamps proposals sent to him) latest disgrace; promoted partisan judges, ignored laws and judgements against them and even committed contempt – so far with few consequences; given wide immunity to all manner of criminals and spivs via the arcane Presidential pardon; threatened and sacked senior service personnel, esp those who provide insight into illegalities/atrocities perpetrated by Trump and his cronies; allowed ICE agents to complelety ignore laws and act with impunity; etc etc etc.This hasn’t happened haphazardly, the multi-front attacks have been planned – essentially a blitzkreig on democracy.They only needed to see how Congress and SCOTUS would react and they had their answer on both fronts well and truly before six months had passed in this presidency. They’ve now also seen similar sycophantic expediency on the international front and will act accordingly if other countries don’t unite against them.
An American administration and POTUS/POS behaving exactly like communist/fascist dictatorships, albeit with less finesse. Whooda thort?

Add another black mark to their report card, and try to disentangle. There are questions about whether the US Dollar will remain the International reserve currency, suggestions that tRump, and the rest of the misadministration would not be upset that it no longer has that position, along with suggestions that the Chinese rmimbi may become an alternate one, with no protest from the Chinese government, at least for significant parts of the global economy outside the major developed “first world”.
There have been complaints about “Lawfare”, from the principal, and incompetent, major exponent and practitioner, who “infests” the White House. He, and his “companions” will end up learning real lessons about the difference between prosecution, and his persecution. From varios places, I am seeing cracks in his edifice, the foundations are on the sand of lies, and they are shifting.
Mark,
I think the arrest of the Andrew, formerly known as Prince, despite it being only for passing state secrets to Epstein and not paedophilia has put the frighteners on Trump.
We’ve briefly duscussed how the UK and USA are poor examples of democracy due to their archaic and anachronistic voting systems, the corrupting effects of money, favours and sycophancy, ludicrous presidential powers etc. While they’ve always been there BrexitBritain and TotalitarianTrump have well and truy exposed what are fundamental weaknesses in their systems and apporaches.
THIS is how a REAL democracy acts when people in power attempt to thwart the rule of law and will of the people:

Jon,
That was a little bright spot in an otherwise shithouse world.
American conservatism/fascism/fundamentalism in full swing:
https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/maga-attacks-tiny-school-where-renee-good-s-son-attends-classes/ar-AA1Un10I
“I’m calling for all federal funds to Minnesota’s Southside Family Charter School to be REVOKED,” Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., wrote on Facebook. “This institution radicalizes students and pushes a left-wing agenda that demonizes ICE agents. The federal government should not subsidize anti-American education.”
“An X account called “Retard Mode” posted that “Renee Good is the epitome of the modern-day liberal white woman,” saying that she had enrolled “the only child she has custody of in Southside Family Charter School,” noting its mission to “put social justice first.” The post went on to call for the revocation of the 19th Amendment, which grants women the right to vote. The post was retweeted 14,000 times and received more than 100,000 likes as well as a reply from Elon Musk.”
The irony of an undoubtedly white male (Retard Mode) with no concept of what social justice is calling for women to be banned from voting is palpable. He’s typical of the loosely-associated grab bag of fwits from that demographic who generally can’t cope with people more capable, intelligent and well-qualified than themselves. The post simply confirms the obvious. Do better Retard Mode – show your cohones and go the whole hog son. Call for women to be banned from jobs, sport, education – anywhere they can’t be forced to be subservient – like any good wannabe fascist/fundamentalist.
Jon,
They are very stupid bastards to whom equality looks like persecution. I’d gaol the lot of them.
They need to be prosecuted, the whole (mal)administration, and done in a public way that is transparent so that all complaints of persecution can be refuted, whether that is accepted, or not. That includes prosecution for abuse of the Department of Justice to persecute their critics, amongst so much wrong. It should also include Senators and Members of the House of Representatives who have enabled so much of that, including going back to the denial of having Democrat Presidents appoint justices to the Supreme Court of the USA.
One of the charges needs to be supporting and promoting an Insurrection, and retrospectively convict tRump on that, making his entire second (mal)administration illegitimate, and negating a lot of the Executive Orders, especially the pardons, on the specific, and hopefully unique, grounds of tRump not being a legitimate candidate for that election.
Mark,
There are many people in the US talking about having Nuremberg-style trials for Trump and his cabal, as well as for his enablers. If that does not happen, then another bastard like Trump will arise again.
Pure fantasy. Many would like to see Trump and his thousands of enablers locked away with other (lesser, in most cases) crims but the current bunch of anachronistic Democrats don’t have the ticker required and “Republican lawmakers” have already shown there is no bottom to their hypocrisy and readiness to throw their self-professed ethics and morals out the door. State sponsored murder both at home and internationally? All good. Insurrection? Didn’t happen. Corruption on a scale inconceivable in any other democracy? Either look the other way or make sure you get your cut in one form or another.
The irony is that by investing trillions in America the rest of the world has actually enabled the very economic bullying and belligerent armed power now being exercised by the greedy, sociopathic egositists which form the Trump administration. Meanwhile, “everyday” Americans are so thick they can’t see the massive transfer of state wealth happening right under their entitled noses.
Jon,
I suspect you are right, but I hope you are not.
The most suitable result would be through the courts, prosecution, despite protestation of persecution, then put them all in stocks. It would need to be in a suitable building, glass to prevent them being injured, potentially fatally, by the people passing through, and to provide a controlled environment, not for comfort, but to prevent death by exposure.
The foundations for the likes of tRump arising are deep in the culture of European “Christianity”, a worship of “Mamon”, money. There is an old saying. “Fire is a good servant, but a poor master.” It is also true that money is a good tool, but is being used to make slaves of all of us. What will happen if there is a serious “Carrington ” event, think about what would happen if a really big solar storm destroys all electronics, maybe a few smaller simpler things in faraday cages survive, but zero bank digital records, no digital records of land ownership, and on from there. Life will survive, but problems with logistics and distribution of all sorts of resources. Having the manual skills, tools, knowledge, and plants/seeds will be of immense value.
A rock musician doing the job that most spineless Democrat ‘lawmakers’ won’t. He’s on the mark about both Trump’s depravity AND the need to reform their anachronistic voting systems.
————————————————————————————————-
Rocker Jack White unleashed on President Donald Trump on Friday over a now-deleted video posted to his Truth Social account depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes dancing to the 1961 song “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.”
Writing on Instagram, White called the MAGA leader’s post, which sparked bipartisan outrage, “sick” and “deranged” and said it would result in anyone else being immediately fired.
“This post would basically get anyone, at any job fired immediately … except for arguably the most important position in the world,” White wrote in his lengthy post, as first reported in Billboard.
“How is it possible we’ve given this evil man so much power?” he added. He went on to call Trump a felon and a “grifter,” who’s been accused of rape, and referred to the president as a “longtime friend” of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
White, co-founder of the White Stripes, also urged Americans to oust and prosecute Trump.
“Arrest this man. Impeach this man. 25th amendment this man. Indict this man. Jail this man,” he said.
White added: “Abolish these loopholes, abolish the electoral college, and if we had any sense we would abolish the two party system (that George Washington advised us never to have) that got us here in the first place,” he wrote Friday. “…And has failed not only Americans, but everyone else in the world who is currently suffering from our policies and suffering from the whims of this sick, deranged man who I will state again, has his tiny, bruised fingers on the nuclear launch button.”
Trump’s post reportedly remained online for 12 hours before being deleted. A White House official told media outlets it had been “erroneously” shared to Trump’s account by a staffer, according to Billboard.
https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/grammy-winning-rocker-demands-25th-amendment-for-trump-over-obama-video/ar-AA1VQDWv
Have to remove the “Grifter in Chief”, yes, but also the chain of command succession as well, at least far enough to remove those who have brown stains around their necks, creeping to their ankles. The current infestor of the Vice Presidency is even more dangerous than his nominal boss.
It will also be essential to also deal with the “Heritage Foundation”, a lot of the most damaging ideology stems from them, and fellow travelers. This includes Russell Vought and Stephen Miller, charge with sedition.
Agree Mark. Vance is particularly dangerous because he’s a hypocrite who bends his “morals” according to where he thinks the populist wind blows whereas Trump makes no claim to any moral line. They also need to find a way to hold ALL Republican lawmakers accountable for not fulfilling their statutory roles per the constitution; taxing the hell out of the sycophantic billionaires who lined Trump’s pockets in return for tax breaks and favourable business decisions; making Trump’s administration accountable for their arse-kissing incompetence, misuse of public resources, and numerous lies and cover-ups. The list is VERY long, across every section of government and particular individuals in the legal system, including SCOTUS.
Based on the records of recent Democrat administrations I’d give you long odds on significant action on any of these fronts if/when public sentiment eventually shifts back to the centre. Obama did sfa holding bankers etc legally accountable after the GFC and Biden’s DoJ was too slow to get their act together post the Trump inspired Jan 6 insurrection.
Just learnt on Vance that he has two muses, not just Peter ‘anti-Christ’ Thiel (allegedly Opus Dei), but also Farage’s senior Reform policy advisor and theologian James Orr.
DeSmog 7 August 2025 on Orr
‘Farage and Vance ‘Sherpa’ Attacked ‘Ukraine Brain’ at Oil-Backed Festival. An academic (Orr) with ties to Reform slammed the UK’s strong support for Volodymyr Zelenskyy.’
Unsurprising Andrew. Just as the USA “Founding Fathers” warned about the dangers of a future Trump (they described him almost to a “T”, boom boom), so did Christ about wolves in sheep’s clothing – or in this case (and many other cases as we know from enquiries into the behaviours of certain “Christian” religions across the globe), self-important people dressed in the hypocritical cloak of “Christian values” and giving comfort to those with even more extreme/narrower views.
This simplistic ‘biblical’ commentary is illuminating if only for the clear, if incidental, parallels to what we now see manifesting in pockets of western pseudo-religious christian conservatism and from the likes of those often mentioned on Blot. I came across it while searching for the wolves in sheep’s clothing reference, which was buried in the recesses of my Catholic-educated mind:
https://biblehub.com/q/Spotting_wolves_in_sheep_s_clothing.htm
You can interpret the bible to suit even the narrowest agendas but I find it ironic how often and well the warnings and descriptions fit the mouthpieces of contemporary religious conservatism, esp in America but also occasionally here (Morrison, Pell etc).
Cherry-picked quotes:
-False teachers infiltrate, pervert doctrine, exploit believers, and must be tested.
-Prosperity-gospel preachers promise wealth for offerings; (hello Scott Morrison)
-Greed and exploitation—“making merchandise” of the flock (2 Peter 2:3).
-Pursuit of power, status, or sensuality (Jude 16-19).
-Flattering speech masking self-interest (Romans 16:17-18).
-Outward show yet inward corruption (Matthew 7:17-18).
-Works devoid of the Spirit’s character (Galatians 5:22-23 vs.5:19-21)
