An article in The Texas Observer explains the concept, and it’s one that should frighten anyone who values democracy over Taliban-like theocratic government. Much of this is being funded by Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks, the two oil billionaires who have used their money to shove Texas to the far right to follow their beliefs.

“Top Texas political figures have had links to dominionism for years. In 2011, the Observer covered then-Governor Rick Perry’s ties to a branch of the movement, the New Apostolic Reformation. Since then, the relationship between dominionism and right-wing politics has become even cozier.
Case in point: Ted Cruz. Although Cruz is too politically savvy to openly endorse dominionism, key figures on his team are explicit dominionists.

The most important may be his father, evangelist Rafael Cruz, a frequent surrogate for Cruz on the political stage.

Cruz père espouses Seven Mountains Dominionism, which holds that Christians must take control of seven “mountains,” or areas of life: family, religion, education, media, entertainment, business and government.”
