If you’re wondering why a Southern Baptist preacher said impeaching Trump would lead to Civil War, here’s a brief history of the #SlaveholderReligion that never went away. https://t.co/tlWxOGyJeq

For good reason, Politico released an article today, titled “What if Trump won’t accept 2020 defeat?” Not only has Trump (jokingly?) commented on extending his occupancy in office (as Politico reports), but also DJT has praised China’s lifetime presidency.
However, the most disturbing reason to question Trump’s concession to a president elect in 2020 rises from Trump’s far-right, evangelical constituency. “Civil war” is increasingly their mob-inciting threat, if Trump is unseated. Desperate far-right pundits, like Milo Yiannopoulos, goad extreme conservatives toward violence; yet, dominionist Christians have been reviving & feeding the ear worm of civil war since the 1960s.
Christian Right leaders have been drilling the idea of a civil war in the minds of their followers for decades. Lately, they’ve been heightening the tension with multiple “revelatory” warnings. Do not be fooled; they worked at creating this atmosphere.https://t.co/HiUeryDRsQ

ICYMI, @jason_a_w wrote an important piece in the @guardian on how Christian rightwingers warn about a “second American civil war,” where the fight against abortion would be the cause.https://t.co/YDSPbiCYQ9

Troubling times! Couching his comments in a “God told me so” rhetoric, Bakker sets the stage for a potential conflict similar to the “civil war” warnings fueled by Joyner, Jacobs, and others. This is purposefully meant to put everyone on edge and to expect the worst in 2020. https://t.co/IWGGGR4js0

2/ being persecuted and the Democrats being anti-God. And, it ends with a strong suggestion of civil war. Actually, that is a sanitization. It would be a religious, race, and ethnic blood bath. Ethnic cleansing on a nationwide scale. This is a call for genocide and ethnic

4/ country stumbling towards a civil war? And another word. Trump’s campaign will be about FEAR and PERSECUTION and the GREAT REPLACEMENT. If he wins, how will he govern in his second term? Do you really think there will be “civility” in Congress? Do you really think the

6/ delegitimize the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, the federal judiciary, and the free press. If the alarm bells are not going off, whooeee. I can bet that the Russians see this. Why do you think they sent KGB officer Igor Panarin to the USA to spread his assessment of a civil war in the

8/ And if you think Panarin was just some kind of foreign policy academic, you would be mortally wrong. Panarin is at the very heart of Russia’s information warfare doctrine. https://t.co/Dcpqpy4vRi

10/ Here, Paula White calls Democrats “demonic.” This is part of the New Apostolic Reformation’s “spiritual warfare” that @profagagne and @brucewilson have endeavored to make more known to analysts. https://t.co/1c95FtP4dT

14/ You can go through Right Wing Watch and collect many dozens of articles on these themes. *This* is the Christian worldview. It is not a worldview about morality as you think it. It is a worldview based upon power and domination. I wrote about this.

Andre, Trump and the future GOP have the core of a fascist movement, along with an armed wing (the militia) and law enforcement (CSPOA see @brucewilson ). All the pieces are there.
