How many politically involved evangelicals are dominionist in the US wanting to implement theocratic and barbaric Biblical law in the country.

If I had to guess I'd say there were more Muslims and liberals that want to implement barbaric Sharia law than Evangelicals that want biblical law.

In either case, it wouldn't fly. Nobody has the power (yet) or the ability to overthrow the Constitution of the United States. If that day ever comes you and I will be long gone.

I know of no liberals who want to implement barbaric Sharia law. That is just a talking point from the right to promote anger, hatred, and division within our country.

And I have several close friends who are evangelicals; some of them used to be Catholic or Orthodox. They didn't suddenly start ranting about it; it was a conscious decision made over a period of time -- what worked for them and their children. They also recognize that I view such an embrace as too much of a simple answer. When I visit, I respect their beliefs, as they do mine.

The problem here is with a few individuals, usually male, who are drawn to the power that goes with a leader's role; that phenomenon can be found within any organization or social group. and unfortunately, it intensifies rapidly when times are hard.

So unless a cohesive, and very strident group (and I believe that the Social Justice Warriors fit this pattern far more than the Trumpsters) are trying to force a rigid agenda on all of us, I wouldn't be too concerned.

Please curb your own over-simplification; the Social Justice movement is little more than a secular "religion" of its own -- and is every bit as intolerant.

Considering the only groups that advocate for a theocracy are conservative Christians in this country, I do not know why you would have to "guess" anything.

In school we learn that the Puritans were heroes and escapees from religious persecution. In reality they were the worst kind of people and s strong strain of their thinking still survives in America today. Some of it out in the open and some of it In Traditions we don’t even think about.

I don't know any liberals who want any kind of theocracy, and damn few conservatives who do. I find the dominionists scarier, though, because they have a larger potential voting base: people who may not agree with their theology, but are either unaware of it or who are, but prefer any Evangelical to a more liberal candidate.

A few, at least. This is an interesting 'opinion' article from the Washington Post concerning Ted Cruz (born in Canada) and his father:
