[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another analysis:

[i]“ Conservative Christians have a deep sense of victimhood and fear about a secular America and are willing to end democracy to prevent it. As David Frum noted, “If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism, they will abandon democracy.”

It has not gone unnoticed that Republicans are increasingly claiming the mantle of being Christian Nationalists. A recent poll found that although 57 percent of Republicans recognize that declaring the U.S. a “Christian nation” is unconstitutional, over 60 percent would support it. To achieve enforcement of an unpopular set of religious beliefs amid a population that is increasingly ambivalent or hostile to the dominant (conservative) strain of religion in the U.S., the GOP is already instituting increasingly undemocratic processes, insurrections, and efforts to overturn legitimate elections and is installing religious zealots in positions of power”[/i]

Exactly. It has not gone unnoticed. [/quote]
