I think I read somewhere that in countries with lower levels of gender inequality (like ours), men are more authoritarian than women because they feel more threatened by the increased competition. And with our tortured history of race relations, that is especially prevalent among white men.
It is the other way around in countries and societies that are still blatantly patriarchal, like Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia is an absolute monarchy. That's as authoritarian as you can get.
And if the monarch pretended to be Christian, and they dressed in familiar fashions, it would be exactly what the GOP wants America to become.
Will there ever be a time when liberals stop fretting over the nonexistent possibility of a Christian theocracy in America?
An actual Christian Theocracy, as objectively observed by the Martians from afar, would be considered "a strong, but tolerant Trifecta" by the modern GOP.
Was America a theocracy 50 years ago? Because compared to 1967, the modern Republicans are hardcore social liberals.
Not really. There were many more Pro-Choice Republicans back then.
Yeah, but support for anything LGBT related was considered fringe. Yet America in 1967 was not a theocracy.
Evangelicals weren't a partisanly galvanized force either in 1967, at least not on religious issues.
