History YMMV / ChristianNation

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Several aspects of the alternate history scenario show clear signs of it having been written in the very early 2010s. Most prominently, a number of people who would become prominent figures in American conservative politics later on, such as UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump, are not even mentioned, and the story would likely have gone differently had it been written just a few years later.

* MoralEventHorizon: The bombing of the Castro (a gay neighborhood in San Francisco) during the Civil War, which "the F3" and evangelical leaders celebrated as being "divine justice", ended up turning America into a pariah in the eyes of the world, marking the turning point of the Steve Jordan administration as being irredeemably evil. Making it even worse, Jordan's forces had ''already'' captured San Francisco's airports and bridges, sealing its people in the city. It's made very clear that San Francisco had effectively already lost, and that the Castro bombing was nothing more than the deliberate and premeditated mass murder of ''twelve thousand'' people simply for being gay.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: The book (written in 2013) imagines that Ruth Bader Ginsburg dies in 2017. Her replacement on the Supreme Court is Roy Moore who joins with Antonin Scalia in swiftly undoing many religious and civil rights. In reality, Scalia died in early 2016 while Moore lost a special election for the Senate seat from Alabama in 2017 after allegations of his past treatment of women became public. Ginsburg would die in 2020, shortly before the presidential election, and despite her own wishes, universal opposition from the Democrats, and the precedent that ''[[{{Hypocrite}} they themselves had set]]'' when they had [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merrick_Garland_Supreme_Court_nomination refused to allow Barack Obama to appoint Merrick Garland to replace Scalia fully nine months before the end of this term]], the Republicans [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_Coney_Barrett_Supreme_Court_nomination forced through the immediate appointment of right-wing judge Amy Coney Barrett]] a mere 35 days before the election.

* CompleteMonster: [[PresidentEvil President Steve Jordan]] is the dictator of [[TheTheocracy the theocratic regime]] that has taken over the United States of America. Starting his career as a member of the Republican far-right, Jordan worked with other fundamentalists to reshape America into a "Godly Kingdom" for the second coming of Jesus Christ. Hired as a consultant for UsefulNotes/SarahPalin's crumbling administration, Jordan ensured her second term by taking advantage of terrorist attacks to declare martial law. Once in power, Jordan replaces the Constitution with the [[DystopianEdict Fifty Blessings]], carrying out assassinations and forced disappearances on political rivals and dissidents. When the [[DividedStatesOfAmerica Secular Bloc]] decides to secede from the Union, Jordan starts the SecondAmericanCivilWar and leaves his mark on the conflict by firebombing the Castro neighborhood in San Francisco, massacring 12,000 people. More of Jordan's atrocities include: Using his elite Joshua Brigades to kill tens of thousands in California alone; killing half of the population in Greenpoint; and taking the surviving Secular Bloc fighters to a POWCamp, where their leader is stoned to death on live TV. After winning the war, Jordan proves his victory with the [[BigBrotherIsWatching Purity Web]], a system that eradicates privacy and controls all aspects of society.

* [[Anvilicious]]: The American right, but especially evangelical Christians, are evil totalitarians. The anvil is really so large you could crush a small house with it.
