#DougWilson Has Spent Decades Pushing for a #Christian #Theocracy. In #Trump’s DC, the #NewRight Is Listening.

#DougWilson has built a #theocratic regime in Moscow, Idaho, where men rule and biblical teachings guide everything. Now he’s taking the model national, with a receptive crowd in the #GOP.

By Ian Ward, 05/23/2025

Excerpt: "Wilson has spent much of his career outside the conservative mainstream, which has distanced itself from his frank defense of theocracy, his ultra-#patriarchal views on gender relations and his reactionary stances on race and 'the war between the states,' as he still calls the #CivilWar. (On the 'About' page of his blog, Wilson describes his politics as 'slightly to the right' of the #Confederate general Jeb Stuart.) Online, Wilson has cultivated a punk-rock aesthetic designed to foster his reputation as the 'based' intellectual bad boy of American #evangelicalism: In a promotional video posted at the height of the conservative backlash to '#woke' media companies in 2023, Wilson used a skull-and-crossbones-emblazoned flamethrower to torch oversized cardboard cutouts of various Disney princesses and social media companies, all while puffing on a fat cigar."

#Trump, #Vance and the #hateful horizons of “#TradFuturism.”

Excerpt: "When news came several weeks ago that Trump had chosen Ohio Sen. #JDVance as his running mate for the 2024 presidential election, my X (formerly Twitter) feed was abuzz with commentary about the selection. Out of the various comments, criticism and praise heaped upon the Hillbilly Elegy author and onetime ​'#NeverTrumper' was the assessment of #DarrellScott, pastor of a Cleveland Heights, Ohio, church ministry and one of Trump’s former spiritual advisors.

" 'JD Vance is not only the pick for today, but also for the future,' Scott proclaimed. ​'He will be the presumptive nominee for President in 2028, and will keep the #MAGA movement going, retaining Trump as an advisor/​consigleri [sic]. Rubio, Haley, Burgum, Carson, etc wouldn’t.'

"Scott’s emphasis on MAGA’s future vitality caught my eye as a prime example of a phenomenon I call trad futurism, with the Trump campaign’s selection of Vance serving as part of a world-building project aimed at creating a future for the United States that is not founded on the principles of democracy and freedom but rather on #Identitarian politics and the policing of people and bodies that don’t conform to so-called #TraditionalValues.
Trad futurism is a moral project that unites ideologically disparate #RightWing groups to craft a world in opposition to secular progressive democracy.

"What is trad futurism? Trad is shorthand for #traditionalist / #​traditionalism. Recently, there has been broad discussion of far-right groups like ​'trad wives' on TikTok or ​'#RadTrad' young Catholics. Trad futurism is part of that conversation, but it’s not just about a return to the simple life or a Latin Mass. Rather it’s a moral project that unites ideologically disparate right-wing groups to craft a world in opposition to secular progressive #democracy.

"Right-wing writer #RodDreher’s 2017 book #TheBenedictOption, which urged Christians to withdraw from a corrupted world into cloistered purist communities of the faithful, is one type of trad future: small and local. But some trad futurist projects are far more expansive, aimed at creating a ​'#moral' future for America, in which laws and social policies reflect the ​'traditional values' of conservative Christianity. Throughout the United States, various groups of traditionalists are doing their part to build that world.

"#ChristianNationalists position their values as American values. Institutions, including the massive #Heritage Foundation and countless otherconservative lobbying groups, are courting right-wing leaders and crafting manifestos for their ideal vision of the country’s future."

Blessed be the fruit

Last Thursday, Defense Secretary Pete #Hegseth reposted a video in which Christian nationalist pastors express their opposition to the idea of women voting. “I would like to see this nation being a Christian nation, and I would like this world to be a Christian world,” said Christian nationalist #DougWilson. In his repost of the video, Hegseth wrote “All of Christ for All of Life.”

But the government of the United States of America is not, and never has been, based in Christianity.

Lijkt me ook geen verkeerd idee om het hoofdkantoor van de VN zo snel mogelijk te verplaatsen van New York naar buiten de grenzen van Gilead, eh, de VS.

Horrifying and dangerous ruling.
There are laws criminalising women for making choices concerning their bodily autonomy.
There are laws about only using a birth name for voting records which again will affect women.
Now there are laws against trans people, the medication and treatment they can no longer have.
To date, I have not seen a single law curtailing the rights of any men, especially Caucasian men.

#Project2025 mentioned "preserving the fertility of the [white] nation" and securing "fertility partners" (non verbatim), in case anyone forgot.
