Continuously. In every election. At every level....Do you think that can happen?

In the term "Christian nationalism," the emphasis is on nationalism. Adherents are only nominally Christian. They do not actually follow the teachings of Jesus.

Obviously you have been paying attention.

Truly.

I hear religious stuff out of my managers voice all the time.

@misstuffy
Seems your manager needs to have some sensitivity training about how to respect others who do not believe as they do!!!

Also I personally consider that very inappropriate in any work or social situation!!!

@of-the-mountain While I agree with you, he doesnt go overboard with it. It does not bother me too much. I simply took note and do not reveal my true beliefs. I am a remote employee working from home and overall he is a great manager who just happens to be a Christian. I am still baffled however why any black man would still believe in God(s) after the way it was used to justify the enslavement of his ancestors.

@misstuffy
Totally agree how any ones relatives that were kidnapped, chained, almost starved to death, tortured, forced to live in overly cramped overtly highly unsanitary stacked one upon another, then as a freed relative after being treated like an animal, forced to live in overt poverty, discriminated in public, employment, and housing!!!

I truly can not believe how any one whose life and relatives have been treated like inhuman shit could ever believe in any god!!!

It is beyond me how these moronic Individuals believe still when it comes to these imaginary saviors!!!

I think (and fear) you're totally right.

@Organist1 I do NOT want to be right...NO...I don't want to believe this is happening.

@phoenixone1 Neither do I, but I am a realist, and have been warning about this sort of thing for years.

@Organist1 I have been warning everyone since 2016 about this SOB...I have watched him since the Mid 70's and all he has done is fine tune the way he manipulates and undermines people and the system. ... To the point that it is second nature. He modeled his forceful nature from Hitler and Stallin. He absorbed Joseph Goebbels philosophy of scorched earth propaganda ... like a sponge. He created a fantasy world that appealed and tantalized the very people he despised. His "wealth" is nothing more than a two-bit PONZI
SCHEME. Time and time again we keep hearing "his EGO will be his downfall"...hasn't happened yet and in two weeks...he solidifies his position to a point where it will be impossible to bring him to heal. EVERYONE who "could" have stopped him"...failed...he sniffed out the rats in our system and overwhelmed us with the disease that we denied for so long. He feeds on the disgusting HATRED and biases that have festered for
500 years. He played this by the book, incredibly well...Hitler rose to power WHY? ... Because of the POWER VACUUM at the end of WW1 and the Misery caused by the Reparations. We had a POWER VACUUM when Obama finished his run...and let's face it, Hilary Clinton left a LOT to be desired in a candidate. Way too many skeletons in her closet...tRUMP used the 2007 to 2009 Housing Market Crash to FULL advantage. The misery factor...he had the audacity to play the RACE BAITING card with the BIRTHER CONSPIRACY crap...and in walks this GAME SHOW HOST who throws out all the glitter and says, "I'M RICH...I'M REALLY REALLY RICH, I CAN'T BE BOUGHT"...oh and he reinforced the RACIST factor with his open contempt for Mexico...and BLM and ANTIFA. He was ARROGANT and didn't care who knew it. Every "deplorable" in the country heard it as a dog whistle and "open season" ON ANYONE or ANYTHING THEY DIDNT LIKE.
He started destroying the MEDIA ... WAY BACK IN THE 80's...WHY?...simple...he was DESTROYING THEIR CREDIBILITY. What did Goebbles say?..."Repeat a lie enough times and people will start to believe it". The guy is an open book...but America has become a nation that doesn't want to have to read...

We are FUCKED.

@phoenixone1 Inevitably it will all boil down to the willingness of the people to roll over and be f**ked. The people who didn’t care, didn’t vote. They let this happen. The weakness in the Democratic party, too, is to blame. They should have gone after these criminals with a white hot poker aimed at their rear ends. They didn’t learn from the Holocaust. Have you ever read "Hitler's Willing Executioners"? I have been telling my family for the last 20 years that this was coming. They didn't believe me for a long time. I have a Cassandra complex. Really, it all started with Reagan.

@Organist1 have to put it on my reading list...who was the author? Cassandra Complex is a new term for me...what does one call it when it is present in a guy? (Chuckies quandary)?

@Organist1 I started getting nervous as HELL when W got in office. Reagan was scary and George H was pathetic...W(or should we address the elephant in the room...Dick Cheney) was criminal. This country is a royal disaster and we only have ourselves to blame. People who didn't vote don't deserve a say...put up or shut up. Our Democratic base is LAZY.

@phoenixone1 Good question. I guess a complex is a complex, no matter who has it.

@phoenixone1 Daniel Goldhagen wrote the book.

@Organist1 thanks...I will definitely read it. Have you plowed through "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" by William Shirer yet? That and "The Rising Sun" by John Toland I believe are two of the best accounts of WHAT and WHY WW2. happened. Another excellent book is "W. Averell Harriman and Elle Abel...Special Envoy to Churchill and Stalin 1941-1946" it gives in-depth insight into the behind the scenes FDR Whitehouse...

@phoenixone1 No I haven't yet.

@Organist1 they are all excellent works...

You’re underestimating the threat.

I'm not remotely willing to agree with you on that.
Religion is a pervasive evil which must be destroyed at it's roots.
It's gonna get greasy.

@OldMetalHead Yeah, and the majority of them have been religious fucktards.

Read “Building God’s Kingdom” by Julie Ingersoll or “The Power Worshippers” by Katherine Stewart and see if you still feel that way.

@Shaggy2018 You don't see these people, because, for the most part, they either deny that they are Christian nationalists, or they deny any knowledge of the term (as Michael Flynn does in the Frontline documentary on him). But in fact they are a loose coalition of neo Nazis, white supremacist militias, the KKK, MAGA acolytes, and Christians from every denomination. Many of the people who participated in the January 6 insurrection were (are) Christian nationalists, and they are not stopping there. J6 was a dress rehearsal. Stay tuned.

@Shaggy2018 You're old enough to remember Oklahoma City. That was just two guys.

Sociology professors Andrew Whitehead and Samuel Perry have carried out numerous surveys indicating that around 20% of the adult US population are what they call "ambassadors" of Christian nationalism. These people are deeply committed to Christian nationalist ideology. At the other end of the scale in their 4-level hierarchy, are the people Whitehead and Perry call "rejectors," who completely oppose Christian nationalism. Whitehead and Perry also identify a group they call "resistors," people generally oppose Christian nationalism but are open to some of its precepts. Taken together the rejectors and resistors make up about 48% of the US population. Around 32% of the population fall into the "accommodator" category. Accommodators accept most Christian nationalist precepts, but are not completely onboard. Twenty percent of the adult US population is about 41 million people. So basically we are sitting on a powder keg, smoking a fat cigar.
