The Invisible Hand of Theocracy- Part VI
Mike Johnson’s policy positions don’t emerge from a vacuum. They are the product of a deep, well-funded network of Christian nationalist legal organizations, think tanks, and advocacy groups that have spent decades reshaping America’s courts and culture. Chief among these groups is the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), where Johnson once served as a senior attorney.
🔵 ADF’s mission is to align American law with biblical doctrine. It supports criminalizing abortion, banning same-sex marriage, restricting transgender rights, and rolling back protections for church-state separation. These goals are echoed in Johnson’s voting record, public statements, and legislative agenda..
🔵 Through ADF and similar groups like Liberty Counsel and First Liberty Institute, Johnson benefits from a pipeline of legal briefs, court appointments, and policy templates designed to make theocracy appear constitutional. These groups operate behind the scenes, but their influence is profound—feeding lawmakers like Johnson a steady stream of faith-based strategies masked in legal rhetoric.
🔵 These organizations do more than advise—they litigate, fundraise, and mobilize grassroots efforts. They blur the line between religious freedom and religious control. And they’ve mastered the language of liberty while working to dismantle pluralism.
📢 Final Closing Line for Part VI:
Mike Johnson is not merely inspired by these institutions—he is their product and their vessel. As Speaker, he now carries their doctrine into the most powerful legislative position in the country.
