Is Christian Nationalism being imposed on the masses by radicals in congress any different than being forced into the progressive vision for America ala democratic socialism, the justice movements, redistribution of wealth and so on, by radicals in congress?
Oh the humanities.
So you finally admit that there are Christian Radicals in Congress!! Thank you !!
To answer your question: Actually there is a big difference,. ,The first Amendment guarantees freedom of religion which- as I have established -includes the freedom from religion, There is no amendment, or clause in the constitution that bestows a right to unfettered capitalistic greed and exploitation. In addition many of the programs, laws and policies that you deride as socialism have been a cornerstone of our economic system the early days of the of the 1900s when Teddy Roosevelt promoted the Progressive Movement. Roosevelt and many progressive who came after understood that the purpose of government is to improve peoples lives and not just an end in itself. The social safety net programs, and progressive tax structure ( yes-redistribution of wealth) that pays for them , as well as labor rights. Civil rights and environmental protection are
the glue that holds society together and makes capitalism sustainable. If we do not take care of people in need there will be not readily available pool of labor when needed, social unrest, widespread diseases and a general collapse of society. Think about the French Revolution before you cry “let them eat cake” (or was it grass) For a more in depth explanation you should read…….

"Regulating the Poor" by Frances Fox Piven and Richard Cloward argues that welfare programs in the United States are not primarily designed to help the poor, but rather to control them by acting as a tool to maintain social order and regulate the labor force, expanding during times of social unrest and contracting when stability returns, effectively keeping the poor from causing major disruptions while ensuring a readily available low-wage labor pool; essentially, the system "regulates" the poor population through its cyclical nature of providing relief and then restricting access to it.
Key points of the argument:
Welfare programs are used to quell social unrest and political instability by providing temporary relief during times of economic crisis or mass protest, preventing large-scale disruptions.
When the economy stabilizes, welfare systems tighten eligibility criteria to push people back into the workforce, serving as a mechanism to maintain a supply of low-wage labor.
