White Christian nationalists are poised to remake America in their image during Trump's second term

[Superbadbrutha]

It was a bogus charge and conviction and will be overturned on appeal

Amazing how everything Trump does is bogus, but everybody else is guilty.

 

[Blaster]

Amazing how everything Trump does is bogus, but everybody else is guilty.

Trump has a mandate from the American voters.

Just everything we accuse the people who have a D beside their name.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Preserving White Supremacy.

Preserving White Supremacy.

And in doing so, saving the world.

“There’s an image that captures the threat posed by the White Christian nationalist movement — and how it could become even more dangerous over the next four years.

Taken during the Jan. 6 insurrection, the photo shows a solitary White man, his head pressed in prayer against a massive wooden cross, facing the domed US Capitol building. An American flag stands like a sentinel on a flagpole beside the Capitol under an ominously gray sky.

The photograph depicts a foot soldier in an insurgent religious movement trying to storm the halls of American power. What’s unsettling about the photo four years later is that much of the religious zeal that fed the insurrection is no longer outside the gates of power. Many of that movement’s followers are now on the inside, because their Chosen One, Donald Trump, returns this month to the Oval Office.

This is the scenario Americans could face in Trump’s second term. Under Trump, Christian nationalists will have unprecedented access to the power of the federal government. Trump’s GOP has unified control of Congress. And a conservative supermajority, which has already blurred the line between separation of church and state in a series of decisions favoring Christian interests, controls the US Supreme Court.”

White Christian nationalists are poised to remake America in their image during Trump’s second term, author says

Donald Trump’s second term will empower the White Christian nationalist movement, says scholar Kristin Kobes Du Mez, author of “Jesus and John Wayne.” “It will transform our government,” she says. “They have seen their movement go mainstream, and now they have incredible access to power.”

www.yahoo.com

White Christian nationalists are yet another manifestation of the fascist right, another threat to our democratic institutions and protected liberties.

And with a Supreme Court dominated by partisan conservative ideologues hostile to settled, accepted Establishment Clause jurisprudence, realizing the goal of white Christian nationalists to conjoin church and state is real and imminent.

The only thing missing from the Biden JD proclamation that the biggest threat to America are White Christian Nationalists are the White Christian Nationalists. None can be found. No instance can be found of any such crime. Shazam!

What's comical about this is nobody knows what a so-called White Christian Nationalist is or looks like. Nobody can cite a crime which such people perpetrated, and yet the Biden DOJ said this was the most dangerous group in America.

If I can try to set you straight. White churchgoing people who love America are out working jobs, raising children, paying taxes, and doing their best to help other people. The caricature your Marxist leaders paint, doesn't exist.

lol. White Christian nationalists are the reason you have democratic institutions, and protected liberties, which were endowed by our Creator...
Your fear of a praying man and your racism aren't doing you any favors.

iv. it’s not a crime to be a mostly white Republicans Christian nationalist. Far from it.

Here’s a “mostly white Republicans Christian nationalist” House Speaker Mike Johnson :

Looks innocent enough; he is dangerous because he is governing a nation that is due to fully to have church separated from state, but he ignores his duty.

He gives fealty to a destroyer instead of the US Constitution and ALL the “we the people” who serve it.

President Donald Trump is the epitome of a destroyer who knows what he hates but has no idea how to build anything beautiful.​

But hey, Saint Mashmont, do not listen to me. Take it from a true Catholic writer Michael Sean Winters in the remainder of this post paragraph v.

v. “Speaker Mike Johnson's biblical worldview is a bit crimped“ •¥• by Michael Sean Winters for National Catholic Reporter ¥• NCR Mission & Values Nov 3,2023

In his first public interview after being elected speaker of the House, Rep. Mike Johnson, R-Louisiana, told Fox News' Sean Hannity: "I am a Bible-believing Christian. Someone asked me today in the media, they said, 'People are curious, what does Mike Johnson think about any issue under the sun?' I said, 'Well, go pick up a Bible off your shelf and read it.' That's my worldview."

It is never our place, as a Catholic publication, to judge the internal doctrinal or disciplinary tenets of another religion. However, in the case of the new speaker of the House, the principal issue is how he brings his religion into politics.

Besides, Johnson's is not actually a "different religion." The Bible forms the worldview of all Christians, but it does so differently for some than others.

First, we note that Johnson did not say the Bible forms his worldview. He said it is his worldview. The lack of any sense of mediation has stalked Protestantism since Martin Luther nailed his theses to the chapel door in Wittenberg.

Johnson is assuming the meaning of the Bible is uncontested, that his interpretation is the only available one. He is unalert to the subjectivism of his reading of any particular text and is claiming for what may be a personal and even idiosyncratic reading of the text and the full authority of the Scriptures.

Unsurprisingly, this confusion about the relationship between text and reader issues is a series of equally confusing political misunderstandings, not least about the nation's founding.

In 2016, he gave a truly frightening talk in which he seems to blame the teaching of evolution for the birth of moral relativism, which, in turn, he says is the reason there have been school shootings. The connections between those three multifaceted realities — evolution, moral relativism and school shootings — are a bit more complicated than Johnson allows.

Equally troubling is Johnson's comment about the "natural law philosophy" he says the founders espoused. There were a lot of influences on the founders, and natural law theories were part of the equation. But invoking natural law begins a discussion, it doesn't end it, as Johnson seems to think. As with his understanding of the Bible, he ignores the possibility of a variety of understandings in favor of his own.

An Associated Press story about Johnson's involvement with a Christian law school that never got off the ground said that Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, is a "longtime mentor" to the new speaker. It is ridiculous that the Southern Poverty Law Center labels the Family Research Council a "hate group," but the council has always been an outlier, not least because of the way it mixes modern psychology with fundamentalist Christianity.

Perkins went on New Tang Dynasty News, an outlet sponsored by the Falun Gong religious movement, to discuss his friendship with Johnson.

"He is a thoughtful, caring, deep thinker," Perkins said. Later in the interview, Perkins said, "He's not an enigma. ... As Christians engage in the political process who are Bible-believing Christians, it's not difficult to figure out where we're coming from."

Perkins claimed the founders believed that the principles of Scripture gave "guidance to us on how we should live and how we should influence the world around us." Measurements of depth, of course, are relative. And if by "founders" he meant the pilgrims who landed at Plymouth, he is onto something. Usually, however, a reference to the "founders" means the men who attended the Constitutional Convention in 1787. That assembly was led by George Washington, and he was most certainly not a Christian, but a Deist.

My colleague Mark Silk, at Religion News Service, challenged Johnson's religious bona fides from a different angle: a gross misreading of the Hebrew Scripture.

"When it comes to immigration, Johnson has criticized 'the left' for misreading the biblical injunction to welcome the stranger," Silk writes. "What the Bible teaches, he said, is a practice of 'personal charity' that is 'never directed to the government.' Welcoming the stranger is an exhortation to 'individual believers,' while the government's duty is to enforce laws preventing the influx of migrants."

Silk rightly notes that this is exegetical nonsense. Ancient Israel was, strictly speaking, a theocracy, and God's commandments were directed to both the individual and the community. Indeed, distinguishing the individual from the community the way Johnson does is unique to the modern era.

Now, some of Johnson's critics are way, way over the top and just as badly informed and bigoted as they allege he is. At the Daily Beast, David Rothkopf accuses Johnson of being a "Christofascist" which seems extreme.

Rothkopf also misunderstands the founding, writing, "The founders were breaking with an England and Europe that were still in the thrall of the idea that rulers derived their powers from heaven above, 'the divine right of kings.' "

In parts of Europe, that idea was still believed, and in the center of Italy, the pope was still ruling as monarch. But in England — the country that overwhelmingly shaped what became the U.S. — the "divine right of kings" had not survived the Puritan Revolution of the mid-17th century nor the so-called Glorious Revolution of 1688.

N.B. to those who invoke the founding for religious purposes, for or against. Some of the people who most supported the First Amendment clause barring an establishment of religion by the new federal government were those defending the establishment of religion at the state level. Until the adoption of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution in 1868, the Bill of Rights did not apply to state governments. Some states, such as Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Hampshire, had established religions into the 19th century. So, historians of the era can cast plagues on both extremes, the Mike Johnsons of the world and those who think the founding was a purely secular event.

A writer at the Daily Beast (or at NCR), however, is not second in line to become president of the United States. We don't set the calendar for the lower chamber of Congress. We can't issue subpoenas. Johnson can.

He, like every American, is entitled to take his inspirations where he wishes. But when he addresses public policy, he needs to come with something better by way of justification than some lousy exegesis of the Bible, and with a bit more nuance about translating moral norms into public policy.

The whole w.s. movement of which you are discussing, is, near as I can tell, under 10k.

Now, white people who are varying degrees of Christians, and/or nationalists, are... the backbone of this country and enjoying a much deserved resurgence.

That you feel a need to conflate the two, to try to attack your enemies, is you trying to deal with the primary problem you have.


Which is that you cannott defend your agenda, or policy positions based on their merits or how they will be good for the American people.

Direct link to AFR.net - Dismantling the Administrative State

Go to and listen to afr.net - the “Jenna Ellis in the Morning” Show dated February 10, 2025 if you want to hear the “dark to light” Republican Party white Christian nationalist God‘s plan to dismantle the administrative state of the United States of America - unconstitutionally; I might add.

According to Jenna Ellis, they’ve already done it during the great musk computer hack.

Jenna’s Bible believers are laughing at Democrats for being so helpless against what $Musk and his hacker team did already in service to God’s Biblical will. whvt 250210 wcnap00113

Remake it into what the Founders intended.

Inane equine excrement! The founders absolutely did NOT want a theocracy . Learn history

There is nothing moral about DEI and LGBTQ?? There is nothing moral about discrimination, exclusion, bigotry ,hate and and cruelty to others who you just disapprove of.

migration from shithole nations.? How about human being fleeing from intolerable human rights violations , war and poverty in countries where US foreign policy helped create those conditions ? You people are turning this country into a shithole.
