    There is no end if our government doesn’t start taking these christian nationalists as a serious threat. Not to worry, three generations as a theocracy will rip this entire nation to threads.

      What’s scarier is; it might not. It might just radically alter the culture to being radically restrictive to a new theocratic orthodoxy. Megachurches combining to create new variants on the bible and its interpretation. A new set of “intellectuals” re-writing the constitution under divine providence. A new geopolitics, corporate structures, and large companies willing to go along with it.

      If you want a preview, check out Handmaid’s Tale.

      I am convinced that the Nationalist Christians view both the book and the Hulu series as an aspirational goal instead of a cautionary tale.

        The preview is Nazi Germany, multiple degrees larger, and in black and yellow. We have real world examples of these things.
