Something is happening in parts of MAGA that should deeply concern all of us, especially every Bible-believing Christian. A network of influencers — Flynn, Bannon, Alex Jones, Tucker, Candace and others — are promoting ideas that look patriotic and pro-faith on the surface but mirror communist ideological frameworks in ways that deserve serious scrutiny. 🧵1/8

2/ I want to be clear upfront: I don't believe Trump is the source of this. His actions against Iran and efforts to counter the CCP/Russia multipolar agenda suggest otherwise. But he has given platforms to people whose financial and ideological connections to foreign adversaries have been increasingly well-documented.

3/ The rhetorical structure these influencers use follows a pattern familiar to anyone who has studied Marxist movements: a collectivist identity (WWG1WGA), rigid us-vs-them framing (grassroots vs. establishment, people vs. elites), and the insistence that opponents aren't just wrong — they're evil.

Populist grievance narratives are common throughout American history and aren't inherently dangerous. What makes this strain different is the combination of absolute ideological conformity, demonization of dissent, and a quasi-religious framework built around political actors rather than Scripture.

4/ That religious framework is concerning. Q and the broader Flynn/Duginist networks have constructed what amounts to a counterfeit faith: mythological political figures treated as omniscient and prophetic ("trust the plan"), a gnostic system of interwoven conspiracy theories, a state-centered eschatology (the satanic British banking cabal, the Great Awakening), and a vision of salvation that comes through mass arrests and the destruction of political enemies rather than through Christ.

5/ "God wins" sounds right. But the "God wins" of Q is not the God wins of Scripture. It's the promise of worldly victory over worldly enemies delivered by worldly powers. It replaces the Gospel with a political narrative wearing biblical language as a costume.

6/ Here's what concerns me most as a believer. I've talked to many people who say Q led them to God or strengthened their faith. In every case, when I ask whether they're reading Scripture and part of a biblically faithful church — which the New Testament clearly instructs believers to do — the answer is no.

They were led toward a feeling of spiritual purpose, but away from Scripture and away from Christ's Church. That should alarm every Christian paying attention, because it is the signature of a false teaching.

7/ Communist takeovers have historically depended on exactly this recipe: a collectivist popular movement, aimed at destroying existing power structures, fueled by religious-level conviction. The fact that this one wraps itself in American flags and Bible verses makes it harder to see — not less dangerous.

8/ If you're in this movement and you love Christ, I'm not writing this to attack you. I'm asking you to test what you're being taught against Scripture — not against what your favorite influencer says Scripture means, but against the text itself, in community of believers humbly seeking to live out the calling of the Gospel.
