Chuck Darwin<p>William Wolfe served in the Trump administration <br>both as the deputy assistant secretary of defense <br>and as director of House affairs at the Department of State. </p><p>He is also an alumnus of <a href="https://c.im/tags/Heritage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Heritage</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Action" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Action</span></a>, <br>a sister organization of the Heritage Foundation, <br>the arch-conservative think tank behind Project 2025, <br>whose chief architect, Russell Vought, posted on X that he was “proud to work with @William_E_Wolfe on scoping out a sound Christian Nationalism.” </p><p>A few months later, the Bucks County Beacon uncovered a lengthy online manifesto on the goals of Christian nationalists. </p><p>The document, which listed Wolfe and Joel Webbon as contributing editors <br>and Oklahoma Sen. <a href="https://c.im/tags/Dusty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dusty</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Deevers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Deevers</span></a> as a co-author, <br>called for “civil magistrates” to usher in 💥“the establishment of the Ten Commandments as the foundational law of the nation.”</p><p>The manifesto doesn’t specify exactly how Christian nationalists should achieve these goals. </p><p>As Tabachnick, the extremism researcher, interprets it, the TheoBros are imagining a utopia where “they are going to be free to be entrepreneurs in all different senses, <br>including the tech world that they’re mixing with so freely.” </p><p>The key, she said, is that authoritarianism “is required to have the utopian vision.”</p><p>Last year, the extremism watchdog group Right Wing Watch posted a video of Wolfe quoting a scripture passage. <br>There are times when “even the God of peace proclaims by his providence, ‘to arms!’” he says. </p><p>“If we have ever lived in a point of time in American history since then that we could argue that now is a time ‘to arms’ again, I think we are getting close.”</p><p>William Wolfe’s Christian nationalism manifesto made the rounds on social media, <br>but in mainstream conservative outlets, <br>it was <a

rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wolfe</span></a> <br>(no relation to William)<br>who brought TheoBro ideas to the wider world. </p><p>In his book, which was praised by editors at the Federalist and the American Conservative, <br>Wolfe paints America as a “<a href="https://c.im/tags/gynocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gynocracy</span></a>” whose government and culture have been feminized by unhappy women leaders. <br>(Sound familiar?) </p><p>He has stated on X that women should not have the right to vote, and that “interethnic” marriage can be “sinful.”</p><p> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Andrew" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"
