We fight, We win, Am Yisrael Chai
The United States is not a Christian nation. Still, we reside in a country that pledges to be "one nation under God" and holds "In God We Trust" as its motto. At best, these are hopeful suggestions and remnants of some small parts of our past. But they do not represent who we are, especially at present.
Because of this reality, many in the faith community have looked for an audacious political leader to battle secularism for quite some time. After decades of playing relatively nice, they decided on a new approach. In 2016, Donald Trump became "the chosen one," and an era of high-profile Christian nationalism began.
The corruption of the Republican Party will last well into the future, so, too, will this corruption of faith. During the last four years, Christianity and Trumpism have become intrinsically linked. Undoing it will take a lot of effort. On Jan. 6, the mob descended upon the Capitol, and dispersed among the crowd were crosses, signs, and banners with "Jesus Saves" or "Jesus 2020."
