Not Americans in the sense I see it. Flag pissing regressives is what they are. A minority that gerrymanders their way into power and pushes their childish backward thinking on the real Americans. Many the rot in their closets from which they only emerge every four years to crash grinder.
It's not childish. This is just the appearance because people are not afraid of "stupid" politicians as much as they should be.
In fact all these changes are consistent and all in one direction.
Information is power, and all these actions create a system where you can't avoid being identified and visible in everything you do. Then the people in power, if you somehow threaten that power, may assure that you won't anymore without any open repression, without jailing you or murdering you or even censoring you. You just won't get anywhere near visibility or power to affect the world, and it will all seem pretty natural and chaotic, so you won't even see your path being corrected so that you wouldn't affect politics.
Christofacists is my preferred term.
Sure that works as well but I myself prefer regressives. It speaks to their mindset that they want to take the country back to some imagined golden age. Where men were men and women were chattel. Where brown folks were not equals and it was okay to attack anyone who wasn't them without fear of consequences.
