And, Christianize the nation not just for their religious "reasons", but to normalize/(legalize) an oligarchic Christian hierarchy > Russia, Belarus and Hungary being their blueprint. The American religious right learned everything they need to know about how to accomplish that from Putin.
Yes. The British monarchy wants America back
That said, once a govt is sufficiently Christianized, their leader can use out grps for "shows of strength". They NEVER give up on culture war lies, it's essential to their powr & the ppl they aim at ARE oppressed in whatever manner they can *get away with*. See trying to ban pride parade in Hungary
*sufficiently Christianized & conservatives insulated from ever losing (cheating mechanisms "permanently" in place > courts, voting boards/administrators, laws changed to facilitate their wins). Many, many countries we know today where conservatives maintain permanent power > Russian influence.
