Dominion over government is the most impactful success the movement has enjoyed. It put Christian nationalists in power to set policies about public education, to dismantle DEI programs at state and federal levels, to terrorize immigrant families, to take away abortion rights and much more. Starting with effective gerrymandering of state legislatures and making appointments to the Supreme Court, they have been able to increase their power despite being a minority of the U.S. population.

The living Declaration
The remarkable fact about the American War for Independence is not that it involved a separation from Great Britain but that it was accompanied with a revolution in fundamental ideas about human self-governance. An equally remarkable fact is that this revolutionary aspect of the American Revolution received definitive and compelling expression at the very beginning of the struggle, in the famous preamble to the Declaration of Independence. The most remarkable part of the story, however, is that the Declaration retains its revolutionary power 250 years later — provided we understand it aright.
