I know I’m writing a lot about this today so I apologise. I just have to say what I need to say and cannot always fit it in one thread. Christian Nationalism is based on disinformation. On an America that never existed. It’s aimed at the uneducated. Those who call themselves

“Patriots,” but these patriots don’t even know how their own country or government was formed. They use debunked books as their “idea.” Always remember that with basic logic, an “idea” is a subjective thought that is not based upon reality in the outer objective world.

Christian Nationalism is an identity built on the claim that America was founded as a Christian nation, that it was based on Judea-Christian principles, and, most importantly, that we have strayed from that foundation, from our godly roots. Christian Nationalism employs the

language of return in an effort to claim to be the true heirs of the American experiment and, more importantly, the American Identity. In their retelling, Christian Nationalists are the true Americans, everyone else is an interloper.

Christian Nationalism is an entire identity based on disinformation. You've heard the disinformation before:
"We're 'One Nation Under God!,"' "in God we trust," the Founding Fathers were all devout Christians who prayed during the Constitutional Convention, George Washington

knelt in the snow at Valley Forge and prayed, that our laws and government are based on the Ten Commandments. None of that is true. And for a long time, Christian Nationalism was treated as a historical debate. Historians on one side, propagandists and politicians on the other.

On January 6th, Christian Nationalism ripped off its mask, showing that it is not a scholarly debate about how America was founded, but a violent, exclusionary movement bent on seizing power here and now. It is an attempt to redefine America according to Christian Nationalist

disinformation and then reshape the law accordingly. The Christian Nationalist identity draws legitimacy from these artifacts left by the previous waves of Christian Nationalism this country has endured. These relics are really disfiguring scars, which ought remind us that

Christian Nationalists have justified slavery, sanctified segregation, and, now, inspired an insurrection. America is a shared idea. And Christian Nationalism refuses to share. It excludes non-Christians and the wrong kind of Christians. America will never be a Christian

nation because the moment it becomes a Christian nation it will cease to be America. The two cannot peacefully coexist, one will triumph. This is the choice we face as a nation: Christian Nationalism or America? We cannot have both.

I want to add, that further disinformation to distance themselves from the Christian Nationalism of the past of slavery and segregation, is the argument that it was Democrats. Now, you only need know the very basics of history that the Republican and Democratic platforms switched
