The real blackpill for american rightists is that there are absolutely no elites who aren’t embarrassed by the “folk culture” of america— & this is due to evangelical protestantism (which is truly an embarrassing “faith”) ghettoizing itself from all high culture.

No one with the intellectual capacity to govern a modern state believes in evangelical protestantism authentically— they “community organize” & show up— like going to the Iowa state fair for primaries— but it’s not a faith that can mediate a polity. It’s a frontier faith.

Evangelical Protestantism exists for “conditions outside of civilization”— even Mormonism is more coherent because it’s an American State Church akin to Anglicanism— & is itself the theological culmination of Evangelical Protestantism. Romney really does believe.

Evangelical Protestantism actually works better the less you believe in it— Rockefeller “lost his faith” but understood the utility of it— the alternative to Evangelical Protestantism is Unitarianism— & Unitarianism is the Cathedral— & it’s not ghettoized from high culture.

If Trump was a Mormon & all his zealots converted to Mormonism— we’d have a Theodemocracy right now lol.

It’s funny because the UU prayerbook has poems from 19th century anarchists who assassinated industrialists— but that’s also pretty cool— it’s a tough call here

What if I told you that the State Church of America was Anarchy? https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/clayton-dewey-anarchism-and-unitarian-universalism

This is why tons of elites come out to support anarchist black blocs— it’s the state faith, protest is a sacrament, & you can even break a few windows & torch the cops with divine sanction. What do evangelicals get again? That’s right— nothing.

This is why the elites of the american right are mostly Jews & Catholics— they have churches that can mediate the laity with the elite— as can UU churches— only Evangelical Protestantism is incapable of doing this (because it literally cannot do anything but splinter)

Watch as the Evangelical Protestant Trumpists cannibalize each other as they turn each other in as “antifa” & “nazis”— it’s the least threatening demographic & the best scapegoat for this reason— they scapegoat themselves. It’s baked into their ramshackle theology.
