He was key in getting funding for the giant ass Noah's ark theme park.
If there can be a Harry Potter land at Universal Studios, I don't know why we can't have Near Eastern mythology theme parks.

People invent with the Bible but even so I find it difficult to see how someone gets right wing politics out of the Bible. I have not heard any admit to wanting a hereditary monarchy.

Not even a hereditary Trumparchy?

I can see your suspicion. Has anyone stood up and admitted to such a Biblical goal? I don't know but some might have an appetite for it.

Well, mix Dominionism and Trumpism and what do you get?

I suppose that somebody could see getting rid of the king as something unbiblical.

It's a where from the Handmaid's Tale.
Oh.

Am I the only one who didn’t know that?
Nope...

What's a "where" in this context?

This asshole would turn us into Gilead.
Indeed. The Bible is a portable library of Jewish and Early Christian writings, many of which contradict each other, not a "worldview." Either he is unconscious of having a worldview, or he is being dishonest. My guess is the latter. His worldview might be best summed up as "apocalyptic American Christo-fascist who holds up the Bible as a powerful totem."
Maybe just using phrases that will appeal to his fan base. Or whatever you call it.
