[quote=Anonymous]Yes. Hegseth also has a connection to Doug Wilson, a self-avowed Christian Nationalist and leader of a church in Idaho.

Wilson was interviewed by Ross Douthat (stay with me here) for his podcast last week -- I would encourage people to listen to the interview because it is educational on what these groups want and how they intend to get it.

Wilson's connection to Hegseth is also related to the "classical Christian education" movement, a movement pushing heavily for a shift to vouchers or to permit public charters to teach explicitly religious content, because they believe the path to making the US a Christian nation (they would say "returning to" but they like to gloss over the fact that many/most of our founders were barely Christian) is through indoctrination of children into these viewpoints.

Also, Wilson is up front about believing the US should be a *white* Christian nation, his movement is a white supremacist movement. They will focus on the Christian values part but the white part is important to them.

And on gender issues, among Wilson's goals are shifting the right to vote to "heads of households" which would mean women could only vote if they were single (ideally due to being widowed, as he believes in a patriarchal society where the role of women is to raise children and take care of the home).

Trump believes a lot of this crap too.[/quote]
