Since 2021, anticipating a return to political power, leaders of the American religious right have closely studied the strategies of right-wing European governments, most notably Hungary's Fidesz, in developing emergency legal frameworks designed to consolidate authority during perceived moments of crisis. These frameworks often rely on the rhetoric of "invasion" and "occupation," enabling political actors to invoke states of exception that justify curtailments of civil liberties and fundamental rights. This paper examines how such emergency rule-making processes have been influenced by apocalyptic narratives, cultural traditionalism, and xenophobic anxieties, and how these themes have been mobilized to justify social discrimination against minority religious and ethnic groups. Drawing on comparative examples, the paper explores how these legal and rhetorical strategies have been adapted and shared across transatlantic networks to construct a system of emergency governance that threatens the collective exercise of religious freedom and undermines commitments to equality and non-discrimination. By examining the legal, ideological, and transnational dimensions of these developments, this paper contributes to ongoing debates about the impact of crisis politics on religious pluralism and the protection of minority rights in democratic societies. It situates the American case within a broader global pattern in which emergency powers are deployed not merely in response to conflict, but as tools to reshape civic life, often deepening social exclusion under the rhetoric of security and cultural preservation.
