I think, alas, I have figured Cultural Jihad out.

He seems to support making the US a theocracy, otherwise known as "obey we who speak for God...or else."

The idea that people might want to *choose* whether or not to follow God -- that is, that they may want to exercise their God-given Free Will -- seems repugnant to him. Otherwise, he would not react so...over-the-top to any hint that people might not like being told what to do all the time, even if it is for their own good.

An alternative view might be that he supports Tyranny of the Majority, but only if the Majority is religious in the way he supports. I *suppose* this is a slightly better form of government than a theocracy, as more people are involved in making decisions, but there is still no means of redress if the Majority errs and commits an injustice.

Oh well. He should be more happy with the future statist government than he is with the current one.

Many have tried. All have failed. I know where you are coming from, but you have no idea where I am. Come back after you have died, and try it again.

Nope. You were closer with majoritarian as long as the majority agrees with him.
