You think Hedges "overestimated the threat from the Christian right"? Are you kidding me? Check out Florida or the US Supreme Court lately? Or Republican State legislatures? ANTIFA fights fascists.

There are too many Republican War Pigs and Big Pharma bootlickers that should be condemned, and in some cases jailed, for their atrocities against humanity (plenty of Democrats as well). While I am neither Christian nor Right, I can recognize that the Christian Right is now anti War Machine and anti Big Pharma, and is not in the streets rioting, looting, and burning businesses, police stations, and other government buildings.
We were so close to getting stuck with a theocracy. I've not forgotten when during the reign of St. George W. his attorney general, St. John Ashcroft, covered the seminude statue of justice at the Justice Department. I also remember seeing government vehicles clearly marked as Decency Police or something similar at the public park where I walked my dogs and where new evangelicals sprouted like weeds everyday and everywhere.
ANTIFA are the fascists, or at least one flavor of them. When one is in the streets burning things down and hitting people over the head with bricks, they no longer are on the side of truth, beauty, and righteousness, no matter the anodyne acronym.

No, the Christian fascist right is just burning books, imposing a religious ideology by law (American Taliban) and literally killing women, see:
