Christofascists on Christofascism
Not intended as endorsement: Christofascists in their own words. This list represents elements of the Christian nationalist movement I feel are underreported to/poorly understood by the general public. Read to hear from the horse's mouth what kind of future these people want for all of us + how far they're willing to go to drag us there.
Do all the names represented here consider themselves theologically aligned? Hell no. But they're willing to team up if it gets them closer to power.

Oh goodness. Well there's unfortunately more where that came from! Are you looking for anything specific? And yw!
Side note I’m interested in why YOU compile these resources, if you do this for fun or part of a learning program or what.
This list definitely feels like less of a fun project than my other ones, lmao! I started the explainer list first — somebody else had made one but there were so many titles I would have added, it felt like way too many to suggest. Then I got annoyed all over again over the total lack (to my knowledge) of explainer books about Generation Joshua specifically, which was a program to groom young evangelicals from childhood to grow up to help elect right-wing radicals and eventually infiltrate US political leadership themselves to install theocracy. Link A couple Gen J kids I went to church with have been causing problems in the Ohio state legislature (still not the scariest political figure to come out of my church lmaooo). Like TO ME this feels eternally relevant, and yet! Nobody seems to care, idk. So I started this list.
Oh god yeah! It’s crazy how so many people don’t know about Gen J and the Quiverfulls!!! Uuughh
teddydeeOP
Yeah, them too!! It creeps me out
This specifically was an avenue I had wanted to explore. Books ABOUT christofascism are good but I always want to hear from the people who actually believe in it. Like, how does your mind work? How do you justify this stuff? Organized religion and cults fascinate me, ESPECIALLY this movement.

I hear you! And the belief system is so complex and all-encompassing (on purpose) that it's really difficult to fully convey to people who are outside of it.
Tbh I spent a while anxiously watching this situation get scarier in the background and wishing that Normal People would take it more seriously and now I'm kinda feelin' like I did a Monkey's Paw on us all
YEAH UUHHHHH I FEEL YOU ON THAT ONE. And then also sitting here like bro… it took you all til NOW to say “huh maybe something weird is happening here” like uh it’s BEEN. The whole time!!
