    1. The cult of Orban on the right has many sources, one strand of which is religion. Long before Carlson's pilgrimage to Budapest, white evangelicals were hailing Orban as a savior who figured out how to overcome the dreaded "demographic winter" of white decline.

        2. "Demographic winter" is shorthand for the fear that the richer (white) countries aren't having enough babies and so will have to take in more immigrants. It's a big source of anxiety among white evangelicals

        3. Orban has shrewdly courted white evangelicals, seeing them as a bridge to GOP and thus American foreign policy. In 2017, Orbán hosted in Budapest a meeting of the World Congress of Families, an important religious right group.

        4. The policy strands behind this (anti-LGBTQ, anti-reproductive freedom, pro-natalist, anti-immigrant) are all designed to strengthen the dominance of white family. For more on this I talked to @sarahposner who has covered story for years.https://jeetheer.substack.com/p/podcast-the-hidden-history-of-religious?r=bh54&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email&utm_source=twitter …

        They believe that their Lord gave them dominion over the Earth, meaning they have the right and the duty to exploit the earth, air, water, plants, and persons of lower means, however they see fit.

        The dominion part at least has Biblical roots (with which I disagree, but still, its there). The persons of lower means — and darker skin — that’s entirely bizarre given the New Testament message. Disgraceful, in the fullest sense.
