9. And I suspect Bannon is also Opus Dei. But I think dominionist applies to all of them.

Dominionism is defined as "a group of Christian political ideologies that seek to institute a nation governed by Christians based on their understandings of biblical law. Extents of rule and ways of achieving governing authority are varied."

Likewise, I think they're all fascists (with Opus Dei being known for its support of fascists), even if fascism has variants.

I don't know if they all subscribe to the exact same nonsense, such as end times/rapture bullshit, but they're all following more or less the same path with more or less the same goals in mind. And they're all using Trump/Trumpism as a tool.
