Opinion: The MAGA Movement Is Ready to Dump Donald Trump. Here’s His Replacement
Opinion by David Rothkopf, September 23, 2025
"We have seen the future of #MAGA, and it is not Donald Trump. But even Trump has to be impressed with who he is being replaced with.
"Sunday’s memorial for Charlie Kirk was, on one level, a moment of reflection on the conservative activist’s life—and one of catharsis for his supporters given the trauma of his murder. But on another, it was the most significant high-level gathering of MAGA leaders since Trump’s inauguration and, in that respect, it was strikingly different from any other such conclave we have ever seen.
"That is because on Sunday, for the first time ever, Donald Trump was not the center of attention. In fact, he seemed almost out of place there, out of step with its tone and its clear focus on the future of the right wing in American politics [Is that why he had the #HitlerPic taken?]
"Quite apart from the looming presence of Kirk himself, the most important voices at the event were his widow, Erika Kirk, and Vice President J.D. Vance.
"Erika Kirk’s speech was the most emotionally resonant. Her public forgiveness of her husband’s murderer was clearly the signature moment. But she also established, with her language and focus, the character of the event—and revealed its purpose
"Vance’s remarks, meanwhile, were the strongest of the senior Trump Administration officials who appeared on stage. That is true both because he seemed to be the person most genuinely close to Kirk, and also because he was the most in tune with Erika.
"While Trump spoke as a politician, Erika Kirk and Vance adopted an approach that appeared more consistent with #televangelists. As Erika stated explicitly, what they were there to advance was the politics of religious revival.
"Their message was unmistakable: The future of MAGA is #ChristianNationalism. The central figure of their movement going forward would be not Trump, but [#RWJesus].
"On the face of it, it’s hard to object to such a shift.
"Clearly, such a move would be a big step up, a transition from one of the worst of men, a living catalogue of vices who has been supported his entire life by the wages of sin, to a deity, the epitome of virtue.
"What is more, it is a natural evolution for the American right, which in recent years has had an increasingly religious bent to its structure and focus. #Evangelism at large has become a core part of the MAGA base. Movements like #Dominionism, which argues that America is a Christian nation that should have Christian leaders guiding the country based on Christian principles, have been increasingly influential within Republican officials, jurists and commentators.
"But there are deeply troubling elements to this trend. First, of course, is the fact that not all Americans are #Christian or even religious, and that one of the principles on which this country was founded was the #SeparationOfChurchAndState.
"Also troubling is the degree to which so many televangelists in America have themselves become corrupted by #money and #power. Nothing illustrates this fact so well as their embrace of as corrupt a person as Trump as an agent of a Higher Power, a quasi-religious figure himself.
"In fact, without for a moment doubting the sincerity of the beliefs held by many of those present at Kirk’s memorial, or those who embrace Christianity in its many forms, it cannot be denied that there is #hucksterism and con-artistry to be found among prominent church leaders who echo the approaches and abuses of Trump himself.
"We seem to be on the verge of replacing one type of #hypocritical #con with another."

this movement does not aim for authoritarianism as an end-state—
it aims for theocracy: scripture over statuteYou will not “win back” the federal system soon.

Evangelikale, pfingstliche und charismatische Gemeinden, nicht nur in Freikirchen, sind ein Ziel für die Versuche der New Apostolic Reformation, ihre Sonderlehren (Dominionismus, Seven Mountains Strategy, Kingdom Now Theology usw.) zu verbreiten – auch in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz.
Und ich fürchte, die meisten Gemeinden sind darauf gar nicht vorbereitet und können die Irrlehren dieser Bewegung nicht als solcher erkennen und abweisen.
Und so bekommt diese Bewegung Einfluss in Gemeinden und arbeitet daran, sie zu transformieren.
Besonders gefährdet sind pfingstliche und charismatische Gemeinden und evangelikale Gemeinden die für charismatisches Gedankengut empfänglich sind.
Die NAR transportiert nicht nur Sonderlehren, sondern auch Queerfeindlichkeit, vor allem Transfeindlichkeit, Ableismus usw.

Der Attentäter, der in den USA gestern zwei Menschen ermordet und mindestens zwei Menschen schwer verletzt hat, wird meist als Evangelikaler identifiziert.
Wenn ich es richtig sehe, ist er Anhänger der New Apostolic Reformation und des Dominionism.

C. Peter Wagner met a woman named #Cindy #Jacobs,
who understood herself to be a prophet,
and believed that the “principalities” and “powers”
mentioned in the Book of Ephesians
were actually “territorial spirits”
that could be defeated through
“spiritual warfare.”She and others formed prayer networks targeting the “10/40 window”
—a geographic rectangle between the latitudes of 10 and 40 degrees north
that included North Africa, the Middle East, and other parts of Asia
that were predominantly Muslim, Buddhist, and Hindu.Wagner also became captivated by a concept called #dominionism,
a major conceptual shift that had been emerging in conservative theological circles.At the time, the prevailing view was that God’s mandate for Christians was simple evangelism,
person by person;the Kingdom would come later,
after the return of Jesus Christ,
and meanwhile,
the business of politics was,
as the Bible verse goes,
rendered unto Caesar.The new way of thinking was that God was calling his people to establish the Kingdom now.
To put it another way, Christians had marching orders
—a mandate for aggressive social and institutional transformation.The idea had deep roots in a movement called
👉 "Christian Reconstructionism",
whose serious thinkers
—most prominently a Calvinist theologian named
#R. #J. #Rushdoony
—were spending their lives working out the details of what a government grounded in biblical laws would look like,
a model for a Christian theocracy.By 1996, Wagner and a group of like-minded colleagues were rolling these ideas into what they were calling the
👉 "New Apostolic Reformation",
a term meant to evoke their conviction that
a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit was moving around the globe,
endowing believers with supernatural power and the authority to battle demonic forces
and establish God’s Kingdom on Earth.The NAR vision was not technically conservative but radical:
Constructing the Kingdom meant destroying the secular state with equal rights for all,
and replacing it with a system in which Christianity is supreme.As a practical matter, the movement put the full force of God on the side of free-market capitalism.
In that sense, Wagner and his colleagues had found the answer to liberation theology that they’d been seeking for decades.

"If there is a silver lining from this ruling out of Alabama, it’s that people are waking up to the radical Christian worldview that has infected right-wing politics and the judiciary…and the threat it poses to our nation."

[TX prophecy from 2016 comes back to haunt]
"…#Dominionism fundamentally opposes America’s venerable tradition of church-state separation—in fact, dominionists deny the Founders ever intended that separation in the first place…that Christians “have a biblical mandate to control all earthly institutions—including government—until the second coming of Jesus…explicitly seeks to replace secular government, and the U.S. Constitution, with a system based on Old Testament law.
