Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green, R-GA recently declared that Republicans should embrace Christian nationalism, stating:
“We need to be the party of nationalism and I’m a Christian, and I say it proudly, we should be Christian nationalists.”
Green is an antisemitic wack job who believes that the Rothschild family used a space laser beam to ignite a devastating California forest fire, as a means to profit from it.
But she’s not an outlier, patently racist Christian nationalists, led by their orange messiah Donald Trump, have taken firm control of the GOP.
Let me be perfectly clear that Christian nationalism is synonymous with white nationalism. Christian nationalists believe that the United States was founded as a white Christian nation. Their definition of “Christian” not only excludes Catholics but every Christian denomination that doesn’t share their reactionary views.
Not only do they believe that there should be no wall of separation between church and state, their wet dream is to turn our democracy into a theocracy, and the Bible will replace the Constitution as the most important document of our government.
Christian nationalists pledging allegiance to the Christian flag are no less a threat than Nazis pledging allegiance to the swastika.
If our democracy is to survive, we must vote Marjorie Taylor Green and her ilk out of Congress, and we must make sure that Donald Trump never assumes the presidency again.
