"The massive size of the march was seen as a major blow to Orbán's prestige."

Dominionism treat movements for queer rights, reproductive freedom, racial justice as spiritual rebellions that must be stamped out. The goal isn’t to reverse policy gains. But to restore a divine social order where power flows from the top down, sanctioned by Scripture and immune to dissent.

Project 2025’s use of language like “Almighty God” intentionally mirrors the Confederate Constitution, which invoked divine authority to justify white supremacy, slavery, and patriarchal rule.

If you haven’t heard of the seven mountain mandate, let me introduce you to the nightmare we’re currently living in.

Efforts to eliminate DEI programs, limit public education, criminalize reproductive and gender-affirming care, and expand religious exemptions across agencies are all consistent with 7MM priorities. These policy goals are not just ideological, they are framed as spiritual victories.

The religious right love bribes.
Financial luck is viewed as a direct thumbs-up from God.
Accusations of self-dealing or exploitation are be reframed as attacks on the faithful. This removes all accountability for political buying and selling.

Our spiral into a Christian nationalist theocracy is not a neutral reimagining of government.
It is a coordinated effort to replace democratic rights with spiritual hierarchy. To turn need into obedience and to punish those who live, love, or believe differently.

Vance Boelter likely did not see himself as a murderer. He saw himself as a spiritual warrior carrying out a divine assignment.

Vance Boelter wrote a book claiming he had rediscovered a lost spiritual state that gave him access to divine truth without mediation.

Boelter founded Revoformation Ministries and created a theology he called “Original Ability.” In his writings, he described it not as interpretation but as a return to the direct, God-given capacity that humanity possessed before the fall of Adam.

Christian nationalism thrives by offering spiritual certainty to people living in instability.
It recruits men who feel powerless and tells them they are warriors.
This messaging has taken root in those who are now lining up to act as border agents, ICE officers, and school board candidates.

Boelter was known for his deep involvement in a charismatic Christian movement that emphasizes spiritual warfare, the belief in a divine army, and the idea that political opponents are possessed by demons.
The movement played a role in the J6 insurrection.
