God's or Christ's Presence and Action in the world only manifests via the actions of human beings which in turn is very much associated with the kind of politics that human beings collectively engage in.

That having been said please check out these references which describe the nature of applied right-wing religious politics and some well known figures and groups associated with such - J D Vance in particular.

J D Vance is much admired by Rod Dreher.

Vance is closely associated with Opus Dei as is Kevin Roberts the number one honcho behind the 2025 project - Vance endorsed Roberts new book.

This 2019 reference provides a comprehensive description of the applied politics of both Opus Dei and the First Things cabal

The current essay on this site provides a 2024 update which includes references to the 2025 project.

It is also interesting to note that Paul Kingsnorth makes much of his association with First Things. He is also closely associated with Rod Dreher.

And then there was/is the religiously and culturally illiterate nihilistic barbarian Donald Trump who does not have even a molecule of Virtue in his entire body-mind-complex, and who specializes in trashing all of that. And has done so for his entire life.

Referring to the book After Virtue - the barbarians are well and truly inside the citadel!

Curiously (but not really) millions of right-thinking American Christians pretend that he is "God's" chosen vehicle to re-Christianize America.
