Extremely American

From NPR

In Season 2 of Extremely American: Onward Christian Soldiers host Heath Druzin and James Dawson take an inside look at Christian
nationalism. The movement aims to end American democracy as we know it and install theocracy, taking rights away from the vast
majority of Americans in the process. The season follows the
movement through the story of an influential far-right church, its
attempt to take over a small town and a dark underbelly of abuse.

An American Flag graphic with the following words superimposed:
In the blue starry field: Inconvenient Truths: Facts don't care what you believe.

On the red and white stripes, in order:
Racism is ignorant and based on lies.
Housing, Utilities, Food/Water, and Healthcare are BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS, not opportunities to profiteer.
Being LGBTQ is an innate biological reality, not a choice. Real Science doesn't care about your myths.
All Spiritual Paths are Equally Valid. There is no "one true" religion.
If you don't want accurate history taught because it makes your religion or culture look bad, that's because it was bad - and needs to be taught.
Women are not property or livestock. Women have an absolute right to an abortion and contraception. Mind your own business.
If your business can't pay living wages to your employees, you are cosplaying "business owner' and you deserve to go out of business.
Climate collapse IS HAPPENING and is going to wreck the economy & make the planet largely uninhabitable, and YOU are responsible for changing your lifestyle to stop it.

Do not overlook the role of religion in this authoritarian mess. It matters that a large majority of white Trump voters identify as Christian. Yes, yes white supremacy is a big deal here. As is male supremacy. But omitting Christianity/Catholicism from the equation is intellectual malpractice.

What Links Religion and Authoritarianism?

The connections between religiousness and authoritarianism, studied for decades, depend upon the kind of religious belief.

On Pete Hegseth's tattoos:

"Deus vult is the Latin for 'God wills it.' During the First Crusade, it was raised as a battle cry. This is its univocal origin and context, and Hegseth knows it well: In American Crusade, he refers to it as 'the rallying cry of Christian knights as they marched to Jerusalem,' a summons to 'followers of Christ to take up the sword in defense of their faith, their families, and their freedom.' It provides the last words in American Crusade: 'See you on the battlefield. Together, with God’s help, we will save America. Deus vult!' And have I mentioned that his book is titled American Crusade?"
