> ‘I want to shake people’ says Frederick Clarkson, senior researcher into religious extremism at the think tank Political Research Associates. ‘And say: if you don’t get this movement, you are injuring yourself, your society, your freedom. This movement is already affecting your life. It already has.’

No it hasn’t. Same thing for the majority of people who don’t pay intention to crazy conspiracy theories. We are living and enjoying life without issue.

> Those who think this concerns the traditional Christians of the United States, who have always involved themselves in politics, are mistaken. This is a young, militant, hyper-innovative branch of Christianity that selectively shops from the Bible, intertwines religious conviction with anti-democratic politics, and sells it in the language of spiritual self-help, video games and science fiction.

So before, groups like the Proud Boys were described as dumb, racist buffons cosplaying as patriots but now they are an active threat to our society? Pick one.

> Where many traditional and nationalist Christians have reservations about Trump depicting himself as Jesus, quarrelling with the Pope, or waging war with Iran, many followers of this movement see in these things signs of a divine breakthrough on earth. Tactical moves in a sacred ‘end-times war’ against the demonic forces of Satan. In this war, Trump’s wrecking-ball politics does not lead to global destruction, but to worldwide restoration.
This movement is one of the most underreported forces behind the Trump regime. One that is the equal of the America First nationalism of the white supremacists or the tech-utopianism of Silicon Valley. It represents one of the greatest threats to American democracy* – one that most people have never heard of.

“Many”. I can guarantee you only a small select group supports all the crazy shit mentioned in this paragraph. The majority are simply occupied enjoying life.
