So basically the GOP want to produce the Christian Republic of America, so similar to Iran which is an Islamic republic. A hard lined state where the law, based on religion and is enforced with no exceptions, law breakers face death, and those who object are placed in prisons or silenced in other ways. Sounds like the republicans are well on their way to that, but through democracy rather than through revolutionary take over as we saw in about 1979 in Iran and without the republicans being in the Whitehouse.
