- Erick Erickson: The Midwestern Führerbunker Driving the Right Off the Cliff
A group of white guys have subtly inserted themselves into conservative institutions and church organizations. They all embrace racial grievances.

They are getting added to conservative institutional boards, attempting to purge churches, and are desperate to indoctrinate young conservatives into fascist ideology. They even surround the Vice President of the United States. Some of them believe the United States is at a tipping point, and they want to push it over the edge and rebuild it in their image. You might think it does not affect you, but, in time, you will see their efforts in your church pews, in your kids’ brains, and in your politicians’ mouths.
