A huge amount of America is Baptist Christian and believes Israel needs to be at war for Jesus to come back etc. How impactful is this to real life? (hexbear.net)

Is American foreign policy always a cool rational neoliberal calculation or do the delusions of the general public have meaningful impact?

christofascism is a definite issue, though idk whether the christo or the fascist takes precedent. Former australian PM Scott Morrison is/was cosy with hillsong church, requested a +1 for Brian Houston to meet Trump, made mention on behalf of a qanon friend of 'ritual sexual abuse' in an apology to CSA survivors at the hands of the Catholic church.

We really pride ourselves on our hwhite, christian heritage. Idk how many are true believers rather than putting on the mask, but they're all out to create/uphold religio-ethnostates
