Is white Christian nationalism actually a thing?

[Micawber]

Christian Theologian Michael Horton believes Christian Trumpism represents the confluence of three trends that have come together, namely Christian Americanism, end-times conspiracy, and the prosperity gospel -- with Christian Americanism being the narrative that God specially called the United States into being as an extraordinary if not miraculous providence and end-times conspiracy referring to the world's annihilation (figurative or literal) due to some conspiracy of nefarious groups and globalist powers threatening American sovereignty.

No need to over think this. If you were born in the US, inherited a Christian tradition, eat wonder bread, watch Fox, listen to talk radio and troll bullshit, have a ton of strong opinions and know very little,
you just might be one. On the other hand, if you live a healthy lifestyle, read books and want the world to be a better place, you are most definitely not one.

I’m a white evangelical Trump so I can speak to this as well or better than anyone. Please don’t tell me why I voted for Trump. Thanks in advance.

I didn’t vote for Trump twice so he could install Christian sharia. I voted for him because of his policy ideas and because of his *America* first nationalism. See that? Not Christian first, not God first—America first.

nice work.
Of course there is no "white Xtian nationalism" - it's just a cobbled hodge podge of RW boogeymen
trotted out by Dems for something to focus their hate upon.

Dems need to hate. it's how they keep their coalition going. Trump is gone at least for now-
so trot out the White Xtians -Woke's fave target

Here is a MAGA women who clearly believes at a visceral level that there is a nexus between nationalism, rightwing Christianity, and Trumpism.

WZB Berlin Social Science Center believes that Trumpism rests on three pillars, namely nationalism, religion and race.

ROFL
they coouldn't even get the nationalism part..
it's "economic nationalism" -same thing the rest of the world practices

A bit of trivia, "is it a thing" is an expression popularized on the show West Wing a 20 or more years ago. Funny to see that broken wave
finally made it to the flyover.

I am far from the most hip guy around, but that expression seems to have lost favor on the west coast at least 5 years ago.

to my point... I'm not a maven for that hipster stuff either, just noting the linguistic history.

More broadly there is a flow to this stuff, idiomatic expressions, and how they propagate. It mirrors everything else. It's fun just to
be able to tell the future of West Virginia in 50 years by walking around every day observing the now in California.
I wonder when they'll pass a civil rights act?

ROFL @ wiki "historians" history isnt history anymore -it's a blend of narratives and social science

this is pretty close:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleoconservatism
"paleoconservatives press for restrictions on immigration, a rollback of multicultural programs and large-scale demographic change, the decentralization of federal policy, the restoration of controls upon free trade, a greater emphasis upon economic nationalism and non-interventionism in the conduct of American foreign policy"

drop the xenophobia junk noise and you are almost there

I do believe Austin and a few FBI types find themselves on a mission from a non- secular God to stamp out what isnt there

Are white Evangelists radical Christian nationalists ? Are you kidding ?
Haw, haw.................................haw.

it is true there really are people stupid enough to believe there is such a thing........I agree with you that the idea is laughable......

[PostmodernProphet]

Maybe the OP can explain this, coincidence or intentional?

it's called fake news.......it comes from the left where you can find lots of people stupid enough to believe it.......some even stupid enough to post it......

[PostmodernProphet]

The opinion of one obscure and not very well educated rightwing message board poster does not carry the weight of the thousands of prominent Christian leaders who recognize white Christian nationalism is a threat to liberty and reason.

how about the opinion of 3 billion Christians who say "wtf are these idiots on the left going on about?".....

but the opinion of ONE obscure and who knows how well educated, self-proclaimed "Christian theologian" carries a lot of weight with you.......

The trouble with sarcasm is that there's always some numb-skull bogged down in literalism.
