We fight, We win, Am Yisrael Chai
Vance Boelter wasn’t a harmless “prepper.” He was a radicalized foot soldier in America’s quiet holy war—and the media still won’t call it what it is: Christian terrorism.
What do you call a white man who murders his political enemies, believes the world is ending, and thinks God told him to prepare for war?
In America, we call him a concerned Christian “prepper.”
The only thing more American than apple pie is a white man with a Bible, a stockpile of guns, and a martyr complex. One of them turned his faith into firepower, and once again, the media still won’t call it what it is: another chapter in America’s long love affair with white religious violence. America, once again, is pretending not to know its own doctrine.
Vance Boelter didn’t just love Jesus. He loved white Jesus. Not the healer. Not the rebel flipping tables. But the weaponized, flag-draped version who blesses bullets, sanctions slavery, and shows up to school board meetings pissed about pronouns. He didn’t worship the Jesus who fed the poor. He worshipped the one who carries a rifle, hates immigrants, wears a crusty red MAGA hat, and votes straight-ticket Republican.
Reporters note that Vance Boelter, who is charged with hunting and killing former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, and wounding two others, Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette, is a “devout Christian.” That he was a “prepper.” As if stockpiling weapons for an ‘End Times’ bloodbath is just an eccentric hobby like ice fishing, or home-brewing kombucha.
