Today's "conservative" movement is now in revolutionary mode, determined to destroy the expansion of freedom, human rights and democracy that took place from Reconstruction through the New Deal, the civil rights movement, the feminist revolution, the gay pride movement and other progressive movements throughout the 20th and early 21st centuries.
At its core, fascism is always revanchist and seeks to impose an old order (which is often imaginary or invented) on a new world. That new-old world for today's Republican-fascists goes back at least to the 19th century, if not before.
In a Republican's ideal America, our society based on science and reason will be destroyed. The Ten Commandments will form the basis of the legal system. Creationism not "Intelligent Design" will be taught in public schools, many of which will be overtly "Christian."
Those branded as social deviants, including the LGBTQ community, immigrants, secular humanists, feminists, Jews, Muslims, criminals and those dismissed as "nominal Christians" — meaning Christians who do not embrace this peculiar interpretation of the Bible — will be silenced, imprisoned or killed.
The role of the federal government will be reduced to protecting property rights, "homeland" security and waging war. Most government assistance programs and federal departments, including education, will be terminated.
Church organizations will be funded and empowered to run social welfare agencies and schools. The poor, condemned for sloth, indolence and sinfulness, will be denied help. The death penalty will be expanded to include "moral crimes," including apostasy, blasphemy, sodomy and witchcraft, as well as abortion, which will be treated as murder.
Women, denied contraception, access to abortion and equality under the law, will be subordinate to men.
Those who practice other faiths will become, at best, second-class citizens.
The wars waged by the American empire will be defined as religious crusades.
Victims of police violence and those in prison will have no redress.
There will be no separation of church and state. The only legitimate voices in public discourse and the media will be "Christian." America will be sacralized as an agent of God. Those who defy the "Christian" authorities, at home and abroad, will be condemned as agents of Satan.
The Supreme Court is relentlessly empowering Christian fascism, a vote for a republican will only further empower them...

The need to protect "white life" is a key element of the "great replacement" theory, in which white women have a sacred duty to protect the race in its existential struggle.
Rep. Mary Miller's remark about "white life", was not a slip of the tongue, it fits into a larger pattern. Consider what she said at a rally on Capitol Hill in January 2021:
