If you are looking for a concise declaration of what Christian Nationalism aka #Christofascists
aka Dominionism want to do in and to America, they laid it in a “decree” provided by one of its media empires. Let’s read along: 1/x flashpoint.govictory.com/atlanta-declar…
The preamble labels such people “watchmen” over the US and offers some baseline beliefs such as “the church” has been given “legal power from heaven and now exercise our authority…” I didn’t know heaven had such good lawyers. 2/x
These beliefs then empower the decrees such as the insane idea that the 3 branches of US federal govt will follow the Bible 3/x
They then want to “permanently control positions” in or on the seven mountains of influence - i.e. not just government but media, business/finance family, education, politics, arts/entertainment, and religion. Is that all religions? Like pastors ruling synagogues? 4/x
The theology supporting the decreeing is “word of faith” aka speaking it into existence. Hence the “We declare that our nation is energy independent.
We declare that America is strong spiritually, financially, militarily and technologically.” Like what God did in Genesis 1. 5/x
Some people were filmed reciting this decree at an event in Atlanta in July 6/x god.dailydot.com/evangelical-wa…
This is what Trump “mainstreamed” and is part of the theology that led to Jan. 6th. People who did the insurrection believe this stuff. And they will vote and mobilize others. Don’t look away. /end
