Part 2 How Democrats Can WIN, Really WIN.
National Conservatism is what they are up against. It combines Christianity, Guns, Weak Federal Government, Removal of "Woke Liberals" from State and Education, Weak EU and UN. "America is a Christian Nation" primarily protestant is the goal.
"America is a Christian Nation"
Weaponized Christianity is the key for why Republicans won 2016 and 2024. They've would've won 2020 if it wasn't for COVID. It's a big giant holy shit to me.
The people who went to the capital, if you surveyed the masses of them were brought there by churches indicating they were mostly of religious origin. January 6th was contributed by Conservative Christian Churches most likely funded by big donors.
It was quite likely initially supposed to be a demonstration in support of Trump, but turned out of control because of the perverting elements that were there. That's not to say that these Churches knew what was going to happen, but more that Trump inflamed the crowd and that some faction took advantage of the crowd by moving forward. Mobs exhibit sheep behavior. Just consider the far right people who were there to cause trouble, they acted as leaders of the insurrection. Since these J6thers were members of churches, it easily gave way to sympathy given these people are part of disparate communities around the nation. Effectively, by following the law, in prosecuting them, was bait into inflaming voters who were already told the government is the enemy. "The LIBERALS are the enemy!"
Back to 2017, Charlottesville Far Right Rally, you can categorize as mostly far right, but it was mixed in with Christianity. It was a hate rally, but not one that the big donors would want to repeat again. Almost like they were testing how far they could go with "Jooes will not replace us" type of deal which is an insane way to go in a country that fought in WW2.
Consider in 2016, the religious right, and I mean the elites, decided to say well Trump is the only chance we got and pitched him to their followers. The followers saw a nonbeliever, pitched as a savior of their "Christian" nation, well you can easily convince them this nonbeliever therefore now a believer. They call Trump, Cyrus for a reason. Cyrus is mentioned in the bible and if these believers are true believers then they must accept Trump is a vessel of God. Any attack on Trump is an attack on God for these people. There's no dissuading, it's all emotions now. These people were DECEIVED by people they trusted and to believe that would hurt more than just accepting the truth of deceit.
Republicans (not conservatives anymore), merged their identity throughout the years in the take over of the party. The more of them that fall in line, the rest will along, since they are at heart "conservative" or "republican". The stragglers, Never Trumpers, are essentially the traitors.
I think what is currently going on is a replay of 1979. The upheaval at the Southern Baptist Church where the conservatives branded the liberal Christians as impure and broadsided their ship, kicked them all out and burned out the rest through attrition. Liberal Christians believed in science and other things, this has nothing to do with politics, it's all religion. They figured they had to hold presidency at the Southern Baptist Church for 10 years in order to carry out the expulsion and they did. This was a reformation done at heavy cost to defend their faith and restore Christianity to prestige.
That same year in 1979, the Heritage Foundation, tied heavily to the Council of National Policy in more ways than one, conceived of a series called "Mandate for Leadership". The same one that is called whose 2025 edition is called Project 2025 which is Trump's Agenda for wrecking the Federal Government right now.
The "Mandate for Leadership" gave rise to a number of conservative think tanks and organizations around the world. At least it gave the existing ones a way to buy into one unified vision. The result is the culmination of World Congress of Families which courted Russia, which is why you can see Trump is playing nice with Putin. Putin is popular with the "Christian Right" because of shared Culture and Religious Values.
The Israel connection precedes any of this, it is a core belief of evangelicals that Israel is God's land. Better the Jews than the Muslims to have it. There is nothing else other than "God's land" driving this connection. The Third Template, if the Israelites want to build it will be be blessed by Evangelical leadership. They are generally ambivalent around the meanings or significance of it. God's people must have the land.
There's a lot to unpack around the evangelical missions around Russia and around the world. Where you see the far right surging, you will see the Council of National Policy connected to it. The Heritage Foundation is prominent in America.
Climate Change
You ever wonder why Evangelicals are the most hateful toward climate change efforts? They poll very unfavorably against it. Turns out they were very supportive of it even promoting the hell out of it in their circles until 1992 where they started to turn against it. The blamed those efforts for increasing international cooperation and bring about policies that affect businesses. That was when it started to become a political issue for them as a group.
The 1992 ‘Earth Summit’ in Rio, in particular, marked an important turning point. The US conservative movement began to see global environmentalism as a threat to US national sovereignty and economic power, and became aggressively anti-environmental. Further, ‘these anti-environmental interpretations … were endorsed, albeit obliquely, by the [George H.W.] Bush administration as it felt the mounting pressures of the 1992 presidential primaries’

"GOD FROWNS ON ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS"
You wonder why the hell they are so bent up about ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, NO FAULT DIVORCE and a host of all other issues? Look at Trump's own "Bible Teacher's" Website (https://capmin.org/bible-says-illegal-immigration-problem).
No Fault Divorce laws undermine the biblical teaching of Genesis
Public servants are too often pro-GMO when it comes to marriage and other policy decisions
Government entitlement programs are not biblical for anyone, let alone illegal immigrants. Nowhere in Scripture does God state that He created His institution of civil government to meet the needs of the people.
Holy Shit, WTF is this drivel and PERVERSION of the bible? A PERVERSION of God's word. It's a stain on Christianity!
Kicking the Liberals Out of The State
You know that Christianity is on the decline with the younger generations. Well with 1979 in mind, they saw 2030 as the crucial year to have turned back the tides of religious decline. They would do anything to achieve it even lying, cheating and stealing. It appears that in 2019, they've succeeded in turning back the time for Christianity's decline. Holy shit, GEN Z men are on the rise with religion. Particularly of the Conservative Religion. Coinciding with the rise of Far Right Movements and Trump.
These guys have been plotting for a long time on kicking the liberals out of Church and out of State. 1979 was the realization of the expunging the Church of Liberal Christianity. Now with their Puppet in Chief, they are succeeding in removing liberals from the state. DOGE is a group formed to expunge liberals by defunding all initiatives under the guise of efficiency.
Why do they want a Trump Third Term? Exactly as in 1979, to hold leadership long enough to kick out the liberals and put in immovable workers. Democrats are the ones to respect status quo, so a Democratic administration if it continues to "respect" the rules would not purge the government as it would need to.
TRUMP IS NOT A RUSSIAN PUPPET, he is actually a domestic puppet playing to factions of his audience that love and sympathize with Russia. Take time to understand this! The buck does not stop with Trump!
If leadership had actually taken the risk to arrest Trump quickly, like any sane country would've, while they investigate, the movement would've been set back.
Before you go asking "How big is this group for voting?" Enough for them to LIE, CHEAT, STEAL. Enough to support far right groups all over Europe. Enough to team up with Russia. Enough to spent 10s of billions of dollars to harvest your data and create profiles of people to find who would most likely vote for them and target them.
They've been active in capturing states in Republican name, they've are actively moving forward towards a constitutional convention with 19 states already passing a resolution to call it.
You may also why they are pushing tariffs to weaken trade and thereby cooperation and meddling in American politics as they take control of the state. Cutting welfare is to create many vulnerable people to convert to their religious community that have their own health services and other government welfare adjacent.
Everything they are knocking down takes a lot of time to "fix". One or a few elections isn't going to fix this mess. A new government, a new set of rules is needed. The old government, the old way is gone. The Liberal World Order is being systematically weakened right this second and they have an unchecked executive branch via a slow Judicial branch and a locked Congress. I will attempt to kick off a vision initiative counter to the Mandate for Leadership, but don't pin your hopes and rely on me to release and promote it without any help.
Democrats must Organize and FIGHT or Lose it all
Democrats don't know what they are fighting and that's why they are losing. They can see the zombie foot soldiers everyday, but they don't see how to address the root cause.
Democrats must stop following the rules if they want to fight the fanatic religious right. These are not "conservatives", they are a fanatic group and they vote! Remember Game of Thrones, when Cersei had to kill the religious leadership to capture and secure her position.
The best way to fight National Conservatism is at the state level, meet them at their ground or else continue to suffer on the federal level. Elections of 2026, 2028, 2030 who cares, these are going to be marginal. For the next four years they will have achieved their goal of strengthening their fiefdoms. It's a slow march for them. Democrats must focus on slowing down their gains and reversing their gains on the state level.
There's a lot of links/sources that all this came from and I might add in the future, but I'd say that "People You May Know (2020)" [Youtube Link] was the start for me. This particular movie talks about Churches collecting data about people that eventually lands in the hands of Republican operatives who will target those people to sway their vote. One person tells of their story of being told to isolate herself from her relatives and friends, to submit themselves to their husband and made to feel part of the community.
