Well, it's official

American women are now legally livestock. I wonder how long it will take before their access to passports and foreign travel is removed.

What is the currently accepted phrase for this Christian/fascist/quasi-theological takeover, and its ideology and philosophy?

Is it `Christian Dominionism'?

Christofascist is what I'm seeing

[philrm]

Dominionism, if you get into the weeds, has a fairly specific meaning and excludes Catholic theocrats like Alito, although Protestant and Catholic extremists are perfectly willing to work together to achieve their mutual goals in hatred and oppression. I usually just call the lot of them Christofascists.

The Catholic version is Integralism, as in "unelected black-robed Integralist dictatorship".

"American Taliban"

[cyprinella]

This is racist as fuck and also gives the Christians a pass. Stop it.

You know, in the years that said phrase has been around since it was a book title released 12 years ago, you are literally the first person I've seen complain about it like that.

[james_davis_nicoll]

FWIW, I've seen that complaint a lot in recent days.

[keith_morrison]

Huh. Although I'm surprised someone is coming to the defense of a group of religious fanatics being compared to another group of religious fanatics. Although I suppose that's fair. I'd probably be upset being compared to American fundamentalist Christians too.

Dominionists, and Christianists/Christianism - what I use. They're not "Christian" in any sense of the Biblical Jesus and what he promoted. Ironically the term comes from Andrew Sullivan.
