Jack Posobiec is a very influential MAGA media figure. He posted this today. In the 1930s Fr. Denis Fahey was probably most well know for being one of the most outspoken anti-semites in the world...quite an accomplishment for that era.

Yeah, the White Horse Inn is a pan-conservative Reformed group (conservative Presbyterians and Lutherans), but my folks are in the real deep end of Calvinism
Lest folks think this stuff is new, my parents’ denomination spent over a century refusing to vote, serve in office, or take an oath because the US Constitution doesn’t say that Christ is King.

My family was Orthodox. They viewed protestants like jazz musicians.

I tell people that the ultra-Calvinists are like the Star Trek fans who speak fluent Klingon and also admire Klingon cultural values like ruthlessness

Good question, kinda made me ponder for a sec. My shorthand has been “theocratic Geneva, by way of the rebellious Scots, and then transmitted to the US in the early days”, but within the US I think Pennsylvania is a historical center for it (after splitting from Princeton Seminary in the 20th cy)
