I'm down with what you are saying as a whole.
Given the broad agreement, here's my local conundrum.
People don't use language in standard ways.
People here in the rural midwest are using SL or US-T phrasing to highlight the very idea you and I worry is getting lost---that these movements are somehow foreign.
It would take a lot of work to swap out the folk etymologies going on here.
I'd like to. But their folk etymologiy is being used to graple with new-to-them concepts.

I guess that's your opinion Kemi but I *know* I don't fundamentally misunderstand America when I use that language and will continue to do so.
It creates a cognitive dissonance that #ChristoFascists and #TheocraticNationalists have to reconcile.
The Taliban and their oppressive nature which is based in religious fervor is something the #ReichWing has railed about for decades. So to use #ChristianSharia or #USTaliban makes it to where they MUST face this hypocrisy.

They don't seem to have much cognitive dissonance about it. Some in the white power movement have literally called it "white sharia."

White Christofascist is a handy term.
