Colorado supreme court ruled that they can take Trump off the ballot, now it looks like California is trying to do that as well. Meanwhile, republican states are threatening to retaliate in kind.
This seems unprecedented for US, does anybody know what happens in this scenario?
Led by who? With what ideological backing?
At best it would be a coup. How would a Republican dictatorship differ from the current US government in ideology?
Theocratic law, like the evangelicals have been trying to establish
There is no theocratic consensus. They would turn on each other instantly.
Do you believe that Evangelicals would work alongside Catholics? Hell, there are so many flavors of evangelism alone that would never work together.
Catholics would have their set of ideals. Mormons and Latter Day Saints would have a different set. Evangelicals would have another. Protestants would also make up a sizeable majority. Who gets to decide the theocracy?
For example, abortion, over 60% of Republicans and Christians were hostile to removing Roe v Wade. How would a theocratic leadership ever hold anything together without instantly devolving into infighting?
I mean, the Air Force is run by an Evangelical cult. It doesn’t feel like a huge stretch to say that the guys with the guns (and flying machines that create tons of Good Troops LOOOOOOOOL) will end up in charge in this scenario.
