leftists seem to have picked this as their hill to die on

Obviously they've not. They don't really fight for anything as an organized group. That's their main problem. Christo-fascists on the other hand are on a fucking mission do destroy any potential freedoms afforded by what was once the American dream, because they believe the misinformation propaganda fired at them by the .01% and the church. Fuck everything about them.

Trust me the so called "Christo Fascists" can't even decide on what christian doctrine is correct. Their only unifying factor is an opposition to what they consider the woke. They will fall apart should they ever achieve power same as what is happening to the left now. Baptists hate Catholics who hate Mormons etc etc etc. Fuck I've seen Baptist churches split because they can't agree on whether Jesus comes again before or after the rapture. They have no organization once they have no common enemy. Even God Emperor Donald Trump gets booed at rallies when he suggests you get vaccinated.

there are no "christo fascists". that shit is made up like 'terrorist militia groups'. Its a weak ass attempt to point the finger away from leftist subversion.

There are religious conservatives that want to use government to legislate morality for everyone, but yes the term christofacists is not an accurate description.

Religious progressives is more apt. They hold many of the same positions as leftist progressives, utopian views on being able to control vice through authoritarian policies. Ban gambling, drinking, wrong sex, unhealthy food, etc etc etc. Only difference is they use religious justifications instead.

Apart from abortion and gay marriage they are essentially leftists. They can't even agree on these issues however which is why you'll not see them be able to agree on much besides being against the other side. They'll fall to infighting amongst themselves should they ever need to make policy and not simply counter policy.

Not everyone is like that. My family is Catholic, they don't have a bug up their ass about any other religions. There was a slight hub bub about marrying outside the faith, but that was 40 years ago last time anyone cared.

The issue is the narrative wants to paint them as handmaid's tale style authoritarians. Take the issue of abortion for example. Ask a normies what the religious right will do when they get in power and they'll say ban abortion completely to restrict women's rights.

About the only thing that they can agree on is that elective abortion is "undesirable", but there's no consensus on what laws should look like beyond banning elective abortion I the latter stages of pregnancy. Which is surprisingly not that controversial a position even on the left. There is a huge difference between the rhetoric used and what people actually believe.
