Roots of Dominionism: Bill Moyers interviews Rush Muldoony (1988) [View all]

Context
Much of current support for TFG and the republican party is from Christian Nationalists/Dominionists who believe that god wants them to control the seven mountains of influence in the world - education, government, business, media, justice system, family, and media.

This is why TFG continues to be a viable candidate, despite his many failings. He is willing to give them what they want in exchange for making him king.

Elements of their dominion strategy can be found throughout the Project 2025 blueprint for taking control of society.

The founding ideologue of their movement was Rush Muldoony. The following clip is from Bill Moyers interviewing him 1988. I didn't realize that Bill had covered this so far back. It's worth a revisit.

These people should NEVER be allowed to get in power. Organize like your lives depend on it, but in many cases, they just may!
