They want a Christian Republic of the United States. They have more in common with political Islam than not.

Iran for all its regression since the Iranian Revolution is still far more advanced (with far more education) than what the regressive RW wants Red State America to be. They most closely align with tribalism, authoritarian religiosity, and total repression of women--the Taliban.

People replace religion and that need to belong to a group with
joining another group like QAnon or being a Trumper.
That is the problem.
