Nancy LeTourneau breaks down the religious roots of January 6th and Trumpism.
Evangelism and authoritarianism go together like peas and carrots. Submission to divine and patriarchal authority is central to evangelical Christianity. The move to Christian nationalism is a short walk. Denying Covid or basic reality is pretty easy when you think God is out there giving your stepsister piles or that every thing that happens is part of some divine plan.
I don't have a solution, I just think it bears repeating. Trumpism is fundamentally powered by fundamentalism.
