Radicalized by my friends and family who say they follow Jesus and believe they're entitled to their rights. Nowhere does Jesus say we are entitled to our rights. It's a lie white evangelicals are raised in, and it's the most un judeo/christian belief.

We have to come to terms with what they mean by "America".

Let's not look past the obvious, maga is 99.99% white people – "America First" in their interpretation means Whites first.

Its not christian, Black and Hispanic christians didn't clear 10% and 25% support respectively, whites were 85%.

Either they're invested in the racism or they're frozen by fear of 'the slippery slope' – that belief that honesty will demand systemic change and they'd rather have control of what steps are taken towards change.
Why are scholars researching the far right still so reluctant to use racism as a defining concept?

It was problematic when racism was disguised under a thin veneer of twisted liberal discourses, but now it's pretty much in the open I'm surprised there still appears to be a reluctance
White evangelicals, using me: ive supposedly accepted and learning a radically different set of values, values that invert the traditional. If even a hundred thousand others (out of 20m) lived by Jesus's values, we'd have good things.

The reality is, WE are about their agenda.
I'd say it's because he accepts and trusts the way things are: the system. After all, it's worked for centuries, believers in it would vet any replacement hard.

I couldn't roll my eyes as far as this deserves. They want to be treated with respect, please, and thank you but don't know what it is.
Q: "What does it say that POTUS over the weekend released a video of him pooping on the American people?"

Speaker Mike Johnson: "The president uses social media to make a point…He is using satire to make a point. He is not calling for the murder of his political opponents."
3/I've seen quotes of "These people are nuts."

In a sense I agree, in their 'faith', empathy must be limited, responsibility for the vulnerable is limited.

But their 'faith' is very pragmatic, their god gives them rights & freedoms and denies others.
2/what maga fears most is that liberals will take stuff away from them..."take away our guns."

Religion is their prime weapon. And we don't contest it. Most of these people never darken a church door, they worship whiteness. It's the antithesis of Jesus and we let them abuse Jesus.
Maga objectively does not respect God or Jesus.

Jesus said "If you love me, you will obey my commandments," and in another place says, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me".

They otoh, deny Jesus's laws apply to them and enforce their own laws.
Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."
It does seem as if MAGA is entrenching for the long run. The question is: what could move white people to single out people of color for punishment?
I’m not saying they’re Nazis. I’m saying being a Nazi isn’t a deal-breaker for them. I’m saying at a minimum they’re Good Germans.

the republican base will literally laugh at it and publicly tell people it's nothing, get over it, stop being so serious.
“The President posted an AI video portraying himself wearing a crown, flying a fighter jet, and dropping huge quantities of manure on protesting Americans. What do you think of the President’s message, and what do you think it says about his state of mind?”
Not a single mention of this across the Sunday shows as far as I could tell
"locker room banter" was what the republicans called the Access Hollywood tape.

"a mulligan" is what they gave the president for 130k payoff to silence a porn star

Don't let them say they care about child sex trafficking again; its all a facade.

Anyone still mocking his ineptness is oblivious. His populism was never about eggs or energy, but racism.
This is how we know a first world country from a third world...people have leisure time and security.

This is the dilemma facing maga. They need to grow, but their ideologic success depends on creating instability, hopelessness, alienating people from each other. They can't grow internally.
Words fail to describe the depth of amorality in this. But never let go that he is just the tip of the spear, the heart, mind, body and soul who flings it is maga and just as amoral.
Petro objected to the US bombing a Columbian fishing vessel that had the emergency beacon on because they were broken down, that we subsequently bombed. One Columbian fisherman survived the attack.

This is the official US response to Petro's comments.
It just really grinds my gears that they get away w playing God.

And as people are quick to point out, "it's always been this way"

But that doesn't mean it needs to be left to its devices forever: atheists do better.
So all important practical theology (how we translate faith into life) is divorced from Jesus and hitched to cons. White cultural identity.

Instead of be like Christ, their practical theology is make everyone conform to us.

They'll just keep beating people up.
But when I talk to my Christian nationalist friends they've done an interesting flip.

"What matters is not what we do for god, but what he has done for us"

They've done two things in that

1) they've removed any responsibility to conform

2) they've replaced God's commands with their commands

I'm going to make a statement about practical faith and you see right away what the problem is...

"Believing in God obligates a person to conform to what that God expects. Another word is encumbrance."

From Jesus, who we profess to be god, he clearly defines what we must do to be 'in'.

But!...

Was that 'winning'
As they jockey for who will be great, Jesus said to be great you must become insignificant and serve others...you must love others like I loved you, the least of you will sit at my right hand. That's practical theology, but white evangelicals made PT white supremacy.

Forget abortion, they've moved on trans rights. Cherry pick a verse. 'God made man & woman'. Fine.

Ignore that that has **nothing** to do with what faith is or what Jesus asks his followers to do! and use it to create good vs evil. I'm right and you're wrong, therefore our opinion is higher.
