7. Yes, they are reactionaries.

I don't see the word "reactionary" used very much these days. In my youth, that was the word that was used to describe people like these christofascists. And by the way, not all of them are christofascists. These silly fundamentalists in some ways are being used by elitists. I have a brother who is very right-wing and very atheist. Some of these people want to eturn to the "good old days" when rich white people swaggered around calling all the shots. I often read comments on Facebook about how "we are losing our good old "American" country and our culture." They don't want the "inferior" human beings to have the same power or luxury that they have themselves.

We should not let these people get away with pretending that Democrats are elitists.
