Too Christian & Too MAGA – Could America Become A Theocracy?

What is a theocracy?

A theocracy is a form of government in which religious leaders or institutions have the ultimate authority and control over the state. It is characterized by a strong intertwining of religion and politics, where religious laws and doctrines guide the legislative process and shape the social norms within society. In a theocratic system, decisions on governance, legislation, and even individual rights are often guided by religious scriptures or interpretations.

Examples of theocratic governments include Iran, where Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei holds ultimate power, and Vatican City, where the Pope wields both spiritual and political influence as the head of state. Theocracies have distinct advantages for those who align with their dominant faith as they prioritize moral values and provide a sense of unity through shared beliefs. However, these systems can also perpetuate discrimination against religious minorities or non-believers who do not adhere to the dominant religion’s teachings.

Recently accusations from the left aimed at Speaker Mike Johnson are that he is too Christian and too MAGA. I never thought I would live to see the day when you could be accused of being too pro-God and too pro-America, but here we are. Mac and Mike discuss this and more.
