I don’t think it will take over, necessarily, but it will likely get a big boost. We’d probably see dozens of new laws favoring Christian religious beliefs at the federal level.

I think the biggest change we’ll see is the ruling class getting calcified while more and more rights get stripped away from the working class to make sure we aren’t able to challenge anything we don’t like.

So… Like it is now, but without any room for hope.

I urge every single American reading this to organize locally. It’s not too late yet, but if we sit on our hands, it will be.

anyone who doesn’t expect a regime of brutal martial law to come out of a Trump administration is fooling themselves.

these people have already shown they don’t care about law and order to institute their belief system on the rest of us.

what’s going to stop them? congress? they’ll kick out the Democrats because law and order mean nothing to them in their pursuit of power at any costs.

a full scale state-by-state civil war is increasingly likely.

They won’t kick out Dems, he’ll accuse them of treason or whatever and have some of them shot. The purge continues until only ppl loyal or those afraid to die pledge loyalty are left.

like it’s not that hard. The US is not some special case when it comes to nation-states.

When the murder monkey hate spiral gets going, it keeps on murdering and hating.

if you believe otherwise, you are fooling yourself.

Both sides are not the same. If you’re not voting Biden you are voting for chaos. Full stop.

As fun as chaos sounds, I definitely am not voting for that death cheeto they call Trump.

Removed for trolling? Seemed like a pretty appropriate response to me…

It already looks like a christofascist state to those of us that don’t live there.

But, like, I don’t live there so maybe I’m wrong. I’ve been there lots but I’m not exactly speaking from direct experience.

currently it’s a loud and powerful minority that may pull us into civil war.

Loud minority with some of us speaking up and the rest being sort of stunned/beaten into silence.

I always wondered as a kid how fascists like the Nazis came to power in other countries. Living through this timeline in the US since 2016 had shed a lot of light on that. I truly think only 10-20% of the population is actually unchained enough to want Christofascism (maybe even less), but it seems like the other 80-90% of people don’t want to put forward the effort to oppose it. I think most people want to “mind their own business” to a fault. It’s led to what you see from the outside.

20% is a lot. 20% is enough to make it a reality. 1 in 5 people in a country supporting christofascism is wild to me.

That’s actually a really good point.

For what it’s worth I think most of them are isolated to insular towns in more rural areas. It’s almost like they’re disconnected from reality (literally and figuratively)
