What is Christian Nationalism and is it a threat?

He purged the Russian supported socialists….hitler was a German socialist

He was a nationalist socialist. These days people hide it by calling themselves ‘Christian nationalist’.

I've never heard anyone claim to be a "Christian Nationalist."

I think the idea is a boogeyman leftists are trying to scare people with.

 

[lennypartiv]

Nationalism is always a good thing. And we are a Christian nation. So Christian Nationalism is a very good thing.

 

[whutTHEYsay]

I've never heard anyone claim to be a "Christian Nationalist."

Do you believe America was founded as a Christian nation by Christians for Christians and in a covenant with their Biblical Father God was originally from the desert region on the north African continent when the world was flat?

‘I Think You Have To Rehabilitate Christian Nationalism’​

The nonprofit Centre for Climate Reporting ran a journalistic sting operation on Project 2025 architect Russ Vought, who was the director of the White House Office of Management and Budget in the Trump administration and has been at the forefront of preparing for the takeover of the federal government in a Trump II presidency.

I’ve written before about my reservations about the difficulty of where to draw the ethical lines around these kinds of reporting tactics, so I’m not go to revisit that here, but the gist of the setup is that a CCR reporter and a paid actor pretended to be relatives of a fictitious big-dollar donor looking to support Project 2025 financially. They lured Vought to a Washington, D.C., hotel last month and surreptitiously recorded him.

CNN, among others, has an abbreviated write-up of CCR’s report.

It’s a very revealing window into how Vought talks about it all in private. When he says, ‘I think you have to rehabilitate Christian nationalism,’ that validates a lot of the reporting that TPM has been doing about the undercurrents informing Project 2025. Not so much undercurrent now is it?

Project 2025’s Christian Nationalist Roots Exposed In Secret Recording

The nonprofit Centre for Climate Reporting ran a journalistic sting operation on Project 2025 architect Russ Vought.

Last month, Russell Vought sat in a five-star Washington, DC, hotel suite, bowing his head in prayer with two men he thought were relatives of a wealthy conservative donor.

Vought, one of the key authors of Project 2025, a right-wing blueprint for a second Trump term, expected the meeting would help his think tank secure a substantial contribution. For nearly two hours, he talked candidly about his behind-the-scenes work to prepare policy for former President Donald Trump, his expansive views on presidential power, his plans to restrict pornography and immigration, and his complaints that the GOP was too focused on “religious liberty” instead of “Christian nation-ism.”

But the men Vought was talking to actually worked for a British journalism nonprofit and were secretly recording him the entire time.

No wonder trump pretends, "I know nothing, I see nothing."
