Unsurprisingly, the QOP and the Trumpees have said the quiet part out loud. Conservative Christians have repeatedly claimed that they dont’ really want a theocracy, but we get to see loony ex-general Michael Flynn saying: ““If we are going to have one nation under God, which we must, we have to have one religion. One nation under God, and one religion under God.””
Of course, that “one nation under god” nonsense was added to the pledge long after the US was founded. Any reference to this silly Christian god were added by ignorance and fearful men to the pledge, the currency, etc in a vain attempt to get their god to pay attention. It never did, and that crap added to the pledge of allegiance was after the US won both WWI and WWII, so evidently this god didn’t need to be placated or it never existed in the first place.
What would happen, if something so stupid ever occured, would be immediate civil war between Christians, since none of them can agree on whose version is the right one. Christians hate each other far more than they care about anyone else.
And let’s be honest, he means specifically his brand of Christianity. Replacement theory was hugely popular as an anti-Catholic propaganda technique during the Irish and Italian immigration periods.

Started happening with Reagan. He also murdered capitalism. And tripled the US debt. Quite a ‘legacy’

well, at least we started with it on paper. In many countries the religion is the state.
As John noted, Reagan et al really changed things when they let these assholes get power.

Now, if we can just figure out a way to get the various groups of Christian dominionists to wage war on each other and leave the rest of America out of harm’s way…

that’s the problem isn’t it? Would love to put them all on a nice deserted piece of land so they can annihilate each other, like Novaya Zemlya.

They are no longer hiding their agenda. They want everybody to bow to THEIR GOD. The only good thing is, they can’t figure who or what god is the right one.
