Those millions of republicans want an authoritarian gov't but they mistakenly think they will be the few thousand elites actually in charge.

Those millions are useful tools for those who will actually be in charge.

One poster called it a 'new social feudalism age'.

Same/same for those who want our country to be Christian run.

When a theocracy takes over America, which church (Christian of course) will be in charge?
Will the others accept their rule?
Many Catholics/Protestants consider the other to be false Christians.
Would they accept Mormons as the rulers?
Westboro Baptist Church?
The new rulers will be political Christians rather than Christians of faith.

We have plenty of people who want to be the Christian Ayatollah of America.
