Theocracy or Freedom: That's Our Choice [View all]

Lisa Senecal

Do not look away: Support for Donald Trump and his administration is a willful engagement in the transformation of America from a nation built on religious freedom into a Christian nationalist theocracy.

Trump supporters might not like it. Some, like the technocrats, would reject the label, but they're happy to benefit from its agenda. Others have different reasons for supporting Trump. They might believe he’s tougher on foreign policy (he’s not) or that he’s better for the economy (man, oh man, is he not), but reasons aside from creating an American Christian nationalist theocracy do not negate who he is and what he stands for.

“A revival.” That’s how the memorial service for Charlie Kirk was described by Benny Johnson, the right-wing nationalist, Great Replacement theory conspiracist, Russian stooge, white grievance provocateur, and prolific plagiarist.

J.D. Vance referred to Kirk as a ”martyr for the Christian faith.”
