I Told You So: Trump’s Evangelical Crusade Just Proved the Theocracy Is Already Here

“Churches can’t endorse candidates,” they said.
“That would violate the Constitution,” they insisted.
“Relax—it’s not like Trump’s building a theocracy.”

Well... here we are.

Trump’s administration has given conservative Christians everything they ever dreamed of—and everything we feared. From letting pastors endorse political candidates from the pulpit to launching faith-based commissions designed to enshrine Christianity into governance, the line between church and state isn’t just blurred—it’s been replaced by a pulpit.

IRS Endorsements Are Now Holy Water

The AP reports that the IRS is now allowing clergy to publicly endorse political candidates during religious services. You know, the exact thing the Johnson Amendment was created to stop.

Translation: Your church can now be a tax-free campaign headquarters.

This isn’t religious freedom. This is political laundering in a steeple.

Trump’s Faith Commissions: White Evangelicals, Front and Center

Another AP report confirms that Trump has launched new “Religious Liberty” commissions stacked with conservative Christians. They’ve been tasked with protecting “Christian speech” and countering “anti-Christian bias” in government.

But let’s be real—this isn’t about defending pluralism. It’s about using state power to prioritize one religion over all others.

Remember Doug Wilson? This Was the Plan.

Earlier, I wrote about Pastor Doug Wilson, the radical preacher behind Christ Church in Idaho. He believes in Christian dominion, patriarchy, and theocracy—and he’s influencing the very political operatives behind Project 2025.

Now Trump is helping Wilson’s dream become reality.

When you give pastors political power and rewrite IRS rules to let them campaign from the pulpit, you’re not just flirting with theocracy—you’re building it.

Democracy Is Drowning in Holy Water

None of these moves are about freedom of religion—they're about control. It’s not about the right to worship; it’s about the right to rule.

If Project 2025 goes into full swing, what happens to LGBTQ+ rights? To reproductive rights? To secular education? To Jews, Muslims, atheists, or progressive Christians?

Let’s not pretend this is politics as usual. It’s religious authoritarianism in a red, white, and blue disguise.

What You Can Still Do (for Now)

• Vote like democracy depends on it.
• Support watchdog orgs like Americans United.
• Call this what it is: theocratic power grab.
• Talk to your community—especially those who still think this is about “freedom.”

Final Thought

They’re not just praying for power. They’re taking it.

This isn’t satire. This isn’t speculative fiction. This is a real administration building a real Christian nationalist infrastructure, brick by brick, prayer by prayer, pulpit by pulpit.

I told you so.
Now what are you going to do about it?
