In Eau Claire, Wisconsin, around 2,000 attendees were told by evangelist Mario Murillo that they were chosen to combat a 'demonic government' and urged to prepare for war, a rhetoric that embodies the movement's call for religious radicalization. Murillo's words, 'I’m not on the Earth to be blessed; I’m on the Earth to be armed and dangerous,' encapsulate a shift towards militant activism among Christian supporters of Trump, framing their actions as divinely sanctioned.
This event in Eau Claire was not just a revival; it was a strategic move to galvanize 'God-appointed warriors' among Trump-supporting believers in swing states. The event aimed to prepare attendees for more than spiritual warfare; it sought to mobilize them into political action, encouraging a mindset that their actions were commanded by a higher power, reflecting an alarming intermix of faith and a confrontational political agenda.
