Integralism is the belief that the state must be subordinated to a single institutional church, that the church defines the common good, defines man’s eternal destiny, and that the government exists to enforce the church’s vision of that destiny on the entire population.
Who’s church? No one knows. Who makes the decisions for all? No one knows. It is not a democratic proposition. It cannot be voted on. It does not require a majority.
It requires only the occupation of the right institutions courts, bureaucracies, administrative agencies by the right people, operating on a long enough timeline that the population doesn’t recognize what’s being built until it’s already built.
This is not compatible with the American founding. Not even close.
The founding wasn’t just politically pluralist, it was theologically pluralist from its own internal logic.
The Judeo-Christian tradition that actually shaped this country carries within it a specific and radical idea: that the covenant is between the individual and God. Not between the institution and God. Not between the state and God.
Anyone who stands in the way of that POLITICAL project is a neocon, a Rino, a judiazer, a war monger, an establishment shill, nor true maga.
Understand the podcast wars aren’t about grudges, they are about people who see where this authoritarian strand of “maga” is trying to go and they are fighting against it.
Because as you can see from responses like this, no one is hiding it anymore.
This HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH denominations of Christianity, or Jewish people or Muslim people or any religion.
This is about political power. And it’s being taken by deploying Russian malign foreign opps on the conservative right to break them from their theology, demoralize them and make them feel like it’s so hopeless the only way forward is authoritarianism.
And if people don’t understand that and quickly, it won’t go well for us on the right.
