Max Boot in the Washington Post:
Republicans, once suspicious of government power, are now eager to use it to impose their agenda. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, next to Trump as the most likely 2024 GOP nominee, is establishing his culture-war credentials by, most recently, suspending an elected prosecutor who vowed not to “criminalize personal medical decisions,” such as abortion or “gender-affirming healthcare.” DeSantis even threatened to investigate parents who take their kids to drag shows.
These Republican extremists are often described as the “New Right,” but the term doesn’t fit. The New Right was the movement in the 1960s-1970s that produced Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan. You can argue that the New Right helped lead to the present imbroglio, but it’s hard to imagine Goldwater or Reagan flashing Viktor Orban a thumbs-up, as Trump did.
Some other term is needed. “Christian nationalism” and “nationalist conservatism” have been bandied about, but the most apt phrase for this American authoritarianism is the New Fascism, and it is fast becoming the dominant trend on the right. If the GOP gains power in Washington, all of America will be in danger of being Orbanized.
Why does he resist the term "Christian Fascism", when the most prominent Trumpers are talking about their Christianity all the time?

sorry but you cannot be Christian and a fascist.
They are poplar opposites
these people do not seem to realise theocracy was tested and failed in the O/T.
It is impossible to have a theocracy in biblical times
Why are you doing this Steve? You can't turn a boy into a girl any more than you can turn a cat into a dog. The surgeons don't succeed in this ridiculous goal. They only mutilate and then buy the big car, and the house in Malibu
DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THIS.
Do you really not understand this? All the surgeon has is a knife and the media getting behind his mutilations. So every gender reassignment victim is a victim of mutilation and brainwashing. There is no way for that person to be happy after that. They must cry inside all the time after that because they haven't been changed they have just been mutilated.
Do you really not understand this? These surgeons are not God. They are just people with knives.
Steve can I plead with you not to do one thing.
Please don't go into animal husbandry. If I can get a blood oath on that I will be happy.
Don't you understand warfare when you see it. This is war against our kids.
