Christian fascism is a far-right political ideology that denotes an intersection between (neo)fascism & Christianity.

It is sometimes referred to as #Christofascism, a neologism coined in 1970 by the liberation theologian Dorothee Sölle.
Most fascist movements portray themselves as defenders of Christianity & the traditional Christian family against atheists & amoral humanists. Modern #neofascists claim "Judeo-Christian values must be defended", or are "under attack from western liberals".
This was true of Catholic fascist movements in Poland, Spain, Portugal, France, Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Bolivia, Argentina, Chile, & Brazil.

We see the rise of divisive, intolerant, nationalistic & fundamentalist #Christofascist rhetoric in the USA, & now here in the UK too.

The preamble labels such people “watchmen” over the US and offers some baseline beliefs such as “the church” has been given “legal power from heaven and now exercise our authority…” I didn’t know heaven had such good lawyers. 2/x
These beliefs then empower the decrees such as the insane idea that the 3 branches of US federal govt will follow the Bible 3/x Image

Their attempts to pretend they aren’t related to #FreeDumbConvoy are as empty as the meaningless marketing speak on their website. Tamara Lich’s husband Dwayne has been involved since the start ImageImageImageImage
Dwayne Lich posts about TUPOC a lot. “The United People of Canada” sure had lots of💰right from the jump. It was registered on March 24/22 & had merch + an expensive heritage property (#StBrigids in #Ottawa - the former church was also the site of #PMJT’s confirmation as a child) ImageImageImageImage
Dwayne sure seams involved….🤔
