I was raised as a fundamentalist, but I got out.

American evangelical fundamentalists firmly believe in heirarchy— children are under the authority of their mother, who is under the authority of her husband, who is under the authority of God.

They see any disruption of this heirarchy as an attack on their religion.

Taxes? You're usurping the man's authority to spend his money as he sees fit.

Women's liberation? You're usurping the man's authority over his wife.

Entitlements? You're usurping the man's authority to use his pocketbook as leverage over his family.

Immigration? You're usurping the man's authority by lowering his cultural relevance.

LGBTQ+ acceptance? You're usurping the man's authority by undermining the patriarchy.

You've probably noticed a pattern as to who is primarily driving these issues.
