🔺 The New Holy Trinity: Evangelicals, Oligarchs, and Conservative Leaders
When the altar, the throne, and the vault align, democracy withers.

I. The Three Pillars of Power
1. Evangelicals – The Missionaries of Control
Function: Proselytize and colonize.
Evangelicals view secular pluralism as a threat. Their drive to convert is not just spiritual but political—seeking to establish Christian nationalist governance.
They export these beliefs globally, often aligning with authoritarian regimes to pass brutal laws under the guise of morality (e.g., anti-LGBTQ+ laws).
End Times Ideology: A belief that hastening ecological or geopolitical collapse fulfills prophecy, making climate destruction a feature, not a bug.
2. Oligarchs – The Hoarders of Wealth and Power
Function: Hoard to manufacture scarcity.
Oligarchs exploit deregulation, tax loopholes, and captured institutions to consolidate capital at the top.
Fund disinformation and think tanks to mask inequality as meritocracy.
Support collapse narratives (e.g., “overpopulation”) that justify brutal austerity and eugenic ideologies.
Create a gilded lifeboat while the rest drown.
3. Conservative Leaders – The Gatekeepers of Isolation
Function: Isolate through law and fear.
Champion border walls, book bans, and dog whistles that become foghorns.
Isolate marginalized groups from rights, votes, and representation.
Undermine institutions (courts, schools, media) to prevent meaningful resistance.
Align with evangelicals and oligarchs to consolidate long-term political control.
II. Shared Tactics, Divergent Goals
While their ultimate visions diverge—spiritual rapture, libertarian dystopia, and cultural stasis—they collaborate to:
Suppress dissent by reframing protest as terrorism or “wokeness.”
Disempower the middle and working class via union busting, austerity, and voter suppression.
Capture the judiciary and legislature to cement minority rule.
Elevate fear as a tool: fear of others, of change, of judgment, of scarcity.
This is a quid pro quo:
Evangelicals get culture wars and religious power.
Conservatives get votes and populist cover.
Oligarchs get tax breaks and deregulation.
Each feeds the others.
III. Symptom: Apocalyptic Governance
This trinity thrives in—and contributes to—a worldview that expects the end of the world:
Evangelicals welcome collapse (rapture theology).
Oligarchs exploit it (disaster capitalism).
Conservatives accelerate it (institutional decay).
Thus:
Environmental protections are stripped because “the end is near.”
Education is defunded because critical thinking is dangerous.
Health systems are undermined because suffering is politically useful.
IV. The Fear Doctrine
Evangelicals
Fear: Secularism, equality, persecution
Behavior: Moral panic, control over women and minorities
Oligarchs
Fear: Redistribution, uprising
Behavior: Asset hoarding, political bribery, propaganda
Conservatives
Fear: Change, diversity, globalism
Behavior: Isolationism, censorship, allegiance to strongmen
Their fears are stoked, then weaponized into policy.
V. The Faustian Bargain
What binds them is not love, but utility. It’s a Faustian pact where each sells part of its soul:
Evangelicals sacrifice compassion for control.
Conservatives abandon democracy for power.
Oligarchs sell the planet for profit.
But the cost is our future.
VI. Conclusion: The Cost of Silence
The rise of this trinity—spiritual absolutism, wealth hoarding, and reactionary governance—represents a clear and present danger to democratic pluralism, sustainable economies, and global solidarity.
To counter it requires:
Courageous speech (naming the system as it is).
Solidarity across difference (coalitions of faith, labor, youth, marginalized groups).
Policy built on care and justice, not fear and scarcity.
