What does stopping American Christofascists from reconstructing the US government into a baldly authoritarian cesspit look like for normal, moderate Christians? And how does it differ from what theists of other religions and atheists could do to stop the same thing (reconstruction of the US government)?

It’s decades too late at this point, but not accepting the far-right fundamentalists as fellow Christians would have been a good start. This applies more to church leadership than lay people, although a general sense of not accepting them from everyone would have still helped. They were happy to consider them when counting how many people in the US were Christian. Unlike non-theists and theist non-Christians alike, all Christians gain a lot by being the de facto state religion despite it supposedly being illegal.

What would you like me to do? I don’t support the evangelicals.

There’s not much of anything you can do an an individual. This is something church leaders should have nipped in the bud a long time ago.

Considering the evangelicals hold all the political power, they apparently didn’t. If they did try to fight them, they did a terrible job.

Every 2000 years or so, religion goes to war with itself. Big war.
In the years between, it’s basically disputes over what to call the omnipotent being or which shoe to worship.
