    Nah its patently false. Christian nationalism is business as usual on the right now and thats just American fascism.

    America first? Fascism. MAGA is the same, look at Trumps veterans day speech

    The tiki torch “Jews will not replace us” crowd was very fine people on both sides according to him.

    Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., declared in an interview that “We need to be the party of nationalism and I’m a Christian, and I say it proudly, we should be Christian nationalists.”

    There’s Rep. Lauren Boebert, who floated the idea of mandatory “biblical citizenship training,” who has said “the church is supposed to direct the government” and that she’s “tired of this separation of church and state junk.”

    They legislate against civil liberties then call anyone who opposes their attacks ‘groomers’

    Return to tradition. Reject modernism. Elevate irrationalism (denial of science). Disagreement is treason (or ‘grooming’, the new way of saying indoctrination, but a blanket condemnation of indoctrination is self incriminating for Christian nationalists). Demagougery, exploit fear of difference, tear down diversity. Attacks on immigrants to elevate ‘patriots’ (read white nationalists). Veneration of authoritarian leaders. Hyperfixation on chauvinism (Proudboys) conquest and war iconography. Selective populism, double speak where moms for liberty means book burning and parental rights means don’t challenge my bigotry by teaching acceptance. Goes on and on.

    They wont outright say fascism is good right away. It dogwhistles and doublespeak until they hold enough power.
