Is white Christian nationalism actually a thing?

A bit of trivia, "is it a thing" is an expression popularized on the show West Wing a dozen or more years ago. Funny to see that broken wave
finally made it to the flyover. :good4u:

I am far from the most hip guy around, but that expression seems to have lost favor on the west coast at least 5 years ago.

to my point... I'm not a maven for that hipster stuff either, just noting the linguistic history.

More broadly there is a flow to this stuff, idiomatic expressions, and how they propagate. It mirrors everything else. It's fun just to
be able to tell the future of West Virginia in 50 years by walking around every day observing the now in California.:cool:
I wonder when they'll pass a civil rights act?
 
ROFL @ wiki "historians" history isnt history anymore -it's a blend of narratives and social science

this is pretty close:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleoconservatism
"paleoconservatives press for restrictions on immigration, a rollback of multicultural programs and large-scale demographic change, the decentralization of federal policy, the restoration of controls upon free trade, a greater emphasis upon economic nationalism and non-interventionism in the conduct of American foreign policy"

drop the xenophobia junk noise and you are almost there
 
I do believe Austin and a few FBI types find themselves on a mission from a non- secular God to stamp out what isnt there

The opinion of one obscure and not very well educated rightwing message board poster does not carry the weight of the thousands of prominent Christian leaders who recognize white Christian nationalism is a threat to liberty and reason.

how about the opinion of 3 billion Christians who say "wtf are these idiots on the left going on about?".....

Christian Theologian Michael Horton believes Christian Trumpism represents the confluence of three trends that have come together, namely Christian Americanism, end-times conspiracy, and the prosperity gospel -- with Christian Americanism being the narrative that God specially called the United States into being as an extraordinary if not miraculous providence and end-times conspiracy referring to the world's annihilation (figurative or literal) due to some conspiracy of nefarious groups and globalist powers threatening American sovereignty.

Find a video of a Hillary voter invoking nationalistic fervor, Christian apocalypticism, and worship of Clinton at the same time.

The MAGA woman in the video invokes nationalistic zeal, Christian apocalypticism, and deification of Trump within a span of 20 seconds.

That is a real world, visceral demonstration of white Christian Trumpist nationalism.

A coalition of evangelical Christian leaders is condemning the role of "radicalized Christian nationalism" in feeding the political extremism that led to the violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 by supporters of former President Donald Trump.

No, white Christian nationalism is not an actual thing.

Disagreed. It's obviously a thing. Look at the assholes on this forum who claim to be Christian but spread racial division and authoritarianism.

OTOH, the Trump Cult isn't just white nationalist Christians. They are a subset of Trump cultists all drinking Trump's Kool-Aid from the same tap.
