Personally, I think a term like woke right and Christian nationalism (which in their most insidious strains would invoke a form of white supremacy that owes more to social Darwinism than classic liberalism) will get all the press in response to something like an Islamic take over of an American territory because that’s easier to dismiss and ridicule than true pro-democracy arguments. It’s why I don’t see the legacy news as authoritative, because it’s either defensive like Fox News or selectively offensive like most of the mainstream media. None of it is helpful, it’s just shaping a narrative.

Check out my posts on Machen and even Bryan (who was more a big gov Arminian but fought some good fights considering he was fully sincere). If big money can fund their defeats on/in religious and theological grounds/realms, imagine what it can do in the world of mainstream politics where most of that big money hates Jesus Christ and essentially the common man. It’s why both classical liberal and theonomous / theocratic (or any Christian-based) political theories are vigorously attacked by mainstream society. The ones who profit and control the most want no part of a truly moral, transparent, self-governing system - what good is all their money and power if they can’t exploit the masses? What better way to exploit (and control) than keep people immoral and ungodly?
