The GOP can't maintain the traditions, culture, or standard of living of its current base, the only thing they can offer is managed decline
The American identity is fundamentally Christian and specifically Protestant in nature
The only reason a debate around “Christian nationalism” even exists is that we allowed the liberal delusion of neutral secular institutions to take hold 👇 1/🧵
Every every nation has a system of beliefs that frames their worldview and defines their vision of the good
No one is secular, replacing a formal religion with an ideology doesn’t make you neutral, enlightened, or objective
Ideology is simply a crude substitute for religion /2
