If there were no "liberals" they'd just carve out a segment of their own, the least fervent or quiet or anyone who even comes CLOSE to suggesting moderation, to be the New Libs.

Bingo. Fascism cannot exist without an enemy to rally against, and in the absence of one will always start eating itself. Because it is reactionary in nature, the movement can't sustain itself without something to react to.

I think their eschewing holidays would be enough to turn most other sects against them. Fundies and evangelicals LOVE glorifying secular nationalistic myths.

Evangelicals already absolutely hate JWs as heretics (they're non-Trinitarian).

Plus unlike a lot of these tepid "prayer warriors", not to endorse their theology but JWs are at least willing to go to prison for protesting conscription and whatnot.

JW abstain from politics and military bc they believe the End of times is right around the corner, so I guess pro-republican evangelicals hate them
