Ladies and gentlemen, the United States government, acting like grown ups.

Part Three is up. Today we talk about the nationalists and their idea of the nation.

Adventures in far right Twitterworld:

CN posts frustrations that ppl keep criticizing Trump for not doing enough. Asks, "What exactly is he supposed to do? Declare martial law and suspend the constitution?"

People respond.

I know it’s not what he meant but I can only read this in one way

If you really want!

Man. I wish CNs would learn to do decent exegesis. This is just embarrassing.

Oh and racist. Definitely racist.

Next post up. We get into the weeds of the political-religious vision of Reformed Christian Nationalists!

Texting with your teenage son is an adventure in textual scarcity.

Did you know what decade had the *lowest percentage* of foreign born people in the United States was, according to the US Census?

1970.

In 1970, the % of foreign-born residents in the US was 5.4%.

In 1860 it was 15.2%.

I find this fascinating.

So… I just wrote on this. I’ll have more to say, but here’s how I define their project. It’s not about a pure implementation of Christianity… It’s selective.

So, for those of you didn’t grow up playing halo in your college dorm, the flood is a mutant zombie parasite threatening humanity that players eradicate by any means necessary.

The United States government just invoked it in an ad for IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT.

So yeah, ethnic cleansing territory.

Met with this lovely “thanks for visiting Chicago” sign this morning.

Here's the US Department of Labor invoking the kind of artwork posted by Reformed Christian Nationalists. Sandwiched between their memes, screenshots, and AI slop, they often post nostalgic Americana (see other posts).

Totally normal behavior for a federal agency account

Today I had someone snark about the no kings protest (lol we’re not in a dictatorship) but then the guys on the CN right post this kind of thing.

So yeah, looks like these protests do matter.

It’s not a pithy sign but it’s true

Of course he did. Corruption, all the way down.

This story is insane. We’re detaining and assaulting citizens.

See this for what it is.
