@BrettKunkle OK, first off: Dominionsm and "Christian Nationalism" are so extensive that it is probably *not actually practical* to make a list in Twitter of all names, but...

For starters: Read up on the New Apostolic Reformation (yes, all of it).

1/x

@BrettKunkle Rick Joyner, Lou Engle, Metaxas, Scott Feuchter, Cindy Jacobs, Rodney Howard-Browne, the International Coalition of Apostles, Patriot Prayer Network, various "apostolic" councils.

@profagagne and @brucewilson are REALLY good resources here as are @C_Stroop and @ulyankee1

@BrettKunkle @profagagne @brucewilson @C_Stroop @ulyankee1 I've also done some writing in this regards: dailykos.com/user/dogempero… Especially focusing on some lesser-known but foundational NAR leaders like the Fort Lauderdale Five, "David" nee "Paul" Yonggi Cho, et al. The NAR rebrands about every 15-20 years,

@BrettKunkle @profagagne @brucewilson @C_Stroop @ulyankee1 and latest is a functional reincorporation/"merger" with a subset of QAnon, which itself heavily "borrowed" from NAR "Satanic Panic".

Of note: There are roughly 2-3 large MLM-like "networks" of NAR groups, hence why it's kind of impractical to make a full list.

@BrettKunkle @profagagne @brucewilson @C_Stroop @ulyankee1 Another group of note re "Christian Nationalism" is "The Family" aka "The Fellowship"; they have heavily targeted politicians, particularly in the US Congress.

@JeffSharlet is pretty much *the* authority on this group and did a recent Netflix biography on this org.

5/x

@BrettKunkle @profagagne @brucewilson @C_Stroop @ulyankee1 @JeffSharlet Other notable groups/figures include:

Council for National Policy--invite-only org, keeps its roster secret, but has been exposed at least twice. Politicians, businessmen, dominionist leaders. @RightWingWatch keeps tabs on them and has the most recent "leaked" register

6/x

@BrettKunkle @profagagne @brucewilson @C_Stroop @ulyankee1 @JeffSharlet @RightWingWatch Another extremely notable "steering council", this one international in action--the World Congress of Families, which involves multiple American dominionist groups, members of the Russian Duma and Putin's inner circle. @FredClarkson and @brucewilson write on them

7/x

@BrettKunkle @profagagne @brucewilson @C_Stroop @ulyankee1 @JeffSharlet @RightWingWatch @FredClarkson American dominionist lobbying groups promoting "Christian Nationalism" include:

American Family Association (the more NAR-aligned political dominionist group, founded by Tim Wildmon, *extremely* anti-LGBT)
Family Research Council (Tony Perkins' org, close links with WCF)

8/x

@BrettKunkle @profagagne @brucewilson @C_Stroop @ulyankee1 @JeffSharlet @RightWingWatch @FredClarkson Various state "Family Associations" or "Family Foundations" (largely FRC state affiliates)
Wallbuilders (a NAR-flavoured "dominionist historical revisionism" group)
CitizenLink (formerly part of Focus on the Family)
Focus on the Family itself

9/x

@BrettKunkle @profagagne @brucewilson @C_Stroop @ulyankee1 @JeffSharlet @RightWingWatch @FredClarkson Phyllis Schlafly Eagles (formerly Eagle Forum, there was a functional split in the org after her death)

Dominionist legal groups:

Thomas More Center (of note, Jenna Ellis is affiliated)
American Center for Law and Justice
Liberty Counsel

@BrettKunkle @profagagne @brucewilson @C_Stroop @ulyankee1 @JeffSharlet @RightWingWatch @FredClarkson Another significant aspect of this--many "Christian Nationalist" groups, particularly New Apostolic Reformation groups, do meet the criteria of a coercive religious group.

@C_Stroop @profagagne and @CultExpert can give you much more info on that aspect

11/x

@BrettKunkle @profagagne @brucewilson @C_Stroop @ulyankee1 @JeffSharlet @RightWingWatch @FredClarkson @CultExpert There's also a lot of HISTORICAL names that are important:

C. Peter Wagner (one of the "founding fathers" of NAR dominionism particularly)
Howard Phillips III (linked to a LOT of dominionist groups, including CNP and HSLDA, the latter a dominionist "homeschooling" group)

@BrettKunkle @profagagne @brucewilson @C_Stroop @ulyankee1 @JeffSharlet @RightWingWatch @FredClarkson @CultExpert If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. If I can't answer, I can almost certainly point you to someone who can, and possibly even people who have published books on the subject
