One reason we cannot realistically deal with Trump and MAGA without engaging the question of religion is that, as Joyce Vance notes on looking back at Trump's first year in this term, he is very clearly following the road map set out by Project 2025 — a fascist, theocratic road map created by right-wing Christians.
As Vance notes, though Trump lied about his knowledge of and commitment to Project 2025, "he has gone on to impose [this] on the country. He lied about his intentions. That has had profound consequences for many Americans."
And this is why the outspoken pushback of religious people who reject Christofascism as American policy for the entire world is critically important.
