There are lots of parallels in my town. The college is Catholic so that’s not likely a factor but there’s a military base, a huge military conservative chapel, a large homeschooling/Christian school community, and an organized white evangelical takeover of the public school boards. City government is also increasingly evangelical. Most ballots pit “Christians” against “ungodly Democrats.” The local message boards are awful re hate politics. And it’s racist.

Most of these Christian Nationalists don't think Catholics are Christians, so they'd probably try extra hard to convert them.

It’s also something to look into if the Catholic “push” in your town is being orchestrated by Opus Dei a very nationalistic and cultic offshoot of Catholicism.
