Christian nationalism in our country is related to the pro-Yankee right. The latter is represented by Eduardo Verástegui and the project of Republican Mexico, both ideas rose with few followers and a weak electoral effect in the last electoral process. The efforts could not reach the legal threshold at the national and local level. However, Christian nationalism and republican identification are persistent.
There is a possibility that Eduardo Verástegui will become a channel of intermediation with Donald Trump; however, for the Mexican right to remain close to this element, it is important to identify the goals of Trumpism and if there are still conditions for the scheme proposed by the pro-Yankee right in the last elections in our country.
Republican Mexico and Verástegui supposed a strategy of incorporation into the United States that linked the dollarization of the country, the fight against drug trafficking and Mexican annexation. These ideas involve political actions of enormous weight that most of Mexican society rejects.
Donald Trump proposes an economic model that benefits only the United States; that is, no more importance or concessions from Mexico to Spain, Europe or Asia. The Mexican oligarchy has surely understood this and will shift, in bold and expeditious ways, their economic interests as defined by Trumpism. Medium-sized business sectors and, particularly, small businesses must interpret MAGA as a local version of economic growth.
What will happen to Mexico depends on the forms that the Trumpist government imposes. Unquestionably, Verástegui has a hand in the friendly ties that can be established with Christian nationalists. He is a reference that the right should consider, as well as the Morena supporters.
Although the explanations for the Republican victory are being measured in economic ranges, the religious aspect of Christian nationalism and Anglo-Saxon liberalism are a central part of the second Trumpist presidency.
