Former Arkansas governor and two-time Republican presidential contender Mike Huckabee was once a major American moral scold. An ordained pastor, he has more and more focused on a career as a television and radio host, honing his persona into something like, “What if Rush Limbaugh mentioned Jesus a lot?” He’s forever spiteful, judgmental, paranoid, arch-right, and a groomer of children via a series of books that propagate absolutely unhinged bullshit.

Huckabee wasn’t patient zero for this country’s modern Christian nationalism, but he’s the poster child for what former President Donald Trump’s base would like to see America become. Guns everywhere, theocratic laws to oppress anyone who isn’t a very specific sort of “Christian,” witch hunts for secret socialists, and a willingly ignorant underclass brought up to believe only what the state wants to teach them and not a damn thing else.

You know: fascism. And I regret to inform you that ol’ Huck is still telling his audience that The Time For Rebellion Is Nigh.
