"For those who are not perennially looking out for signs of Armageddon and awaiting it as a child waits for a father to return, the drama of the Apocalypse looks merely like a collection of people who, in waiting for the world to end, are actively worsening life in the present."
~ Ibid.

“In seeking to hasten the end of the world, evangelicals often make it worse for others who do not anticipate being snatched up into the clouds to sit by Christ's side as the seas boil and Satan takes possession of the earth."
~ Talia Lavin, Wild Faith: How the Christian Right Is Taking Over America (NY: Legacy, 2024), pp. 95-6

"End times fascism is a darkly festive fatalism – a final refuge for those who find it easier to celebrate destruction than imagine living without supremacy. ...
This is where the tech bros merge with the TheoBros, a real group of hyper-patriarchal Christian supremacists with ties to Hegseth and others in the Trump administration."
"You don’t need to be a biblical literalist, or even religious, to be an end times fascist. Today, plenty of powerful secular people have embraced a vision of the future that follows a nearly identical script, one in which the world as we know it collapses under its weight and a chosen few survive and thrive in various kinds of arks, bunkers and gated 'freedom cities'."
~ Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor
"The danger of the Christian nationalist worldview is that it raises the stakes of political contests exponentially, transposing political opponents into existential enemies. Politics are no longer understood to be disagreements between fellow citizens of goodwill but to be apocalyptic battles over good and evil, fought by agents of God against agents of Satan."
~ Robert P. Jones

"To claim that one political figure uniquely represents God’s will for the body politic is a form of anti-Christian idolatry. To elevate one set of spiritual beliefs above another and do it by force of law removes a nonnegotiable tenet of evangelical faith—free will. We are born again when we choose to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, not when we’re forced to do so."

"f you assume all evangelical Christians are motivated by the thought of a coming Rapture today, you may have missed the new end-of-days mood that has taken hold within American evangelicalism. For many Christians on the right, the end times are no longer a source of dread and anxiety so much as an expected and even welcome opportunity for God’s soldiers to conquer the earth."
