If the American people elect a conservative president, his administration will have to eradicate climate change references from absolutely everywhere." — former deputy chief of staff of USAID under Trump

      We call that theocracy or theofascism (a more modern portmanteau). Religion is immensely useful for theocrats and fascists, because it has defacto in- and out-groups plus magic, superstition, and taboos—prime ingredients for making shit up in the name of power.

      It is also worth noting that Christianity has been especially bad for climate change action, because even among progressive Christians, there’s a belief that their god will intervene.

      A fascist theocracy in the US would be globally disastrous for multiple reasons.

      That’s definitely the impression I get. We’ve got Republicans explicitly saying that their goal is to appeal to creeps:

      the Trump campaign seems stuck in the strategy they had been counting on for months against Biden: demoralize Democrat voters so they stay at home while turning out the dirtbag vote with an overtly misogynist, trolling-based campaign. Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., explained the theory that they could get creepy dudes of every race with these tactics: “For every ‘Karen’ we lose, there is a ‘Julio’ and a ‘Jamal’ ready to sign up for the MAGA movement.”

        How can they say this stuff without questioning themselves? Even if they want to be evil you’d think they’d have the awareness to judge themselves as unappealing.
