Christian Nationalism
[quote] “Christian nationalism” is not the liberal version of the slur “woke.” It’s more like the term “fascist.” Not only does it describe something very real, but something that remains a very present threat, one that is overrunning Oklahoma politics, and potentially the rest of the country.
[quote] ...We define it as an ideology that idealizes and advocates a fusion of American civic life with a particular kind of “Christianity.” I use “Christianity” in quotes there because the Christianity involved isn’t theological; it’s ethno-cultural. It’s “Christianity” as code, shorthand for “people like us,” and that usually means “Anglo European ethnicity, born in the USA, politically conservative.” Christian nationalism is an ideology that envisions that group as America’s founders and rightful leaders. It seeks to institutionalize their privilege politically.

I had a big problem with Obama because of his gay marriage stance. The whole, "I believe marriage is between a man and a woman" rhetoric was nauseating to hear from a Democrat president in the 21st century. While he did come around towards the end of his second term, it wasn't until countless states legalized gay marriage that it became comfortable to do so. I expected more from him, despite his religion.

I honestly don't think it came from his religion, R9 -- I believe the theory that Obama is a closet atheist (or at least a deist) who kept his true beliefs to himself because he would have been unelectable otherwise. I think his gay marriage stance was a calculated pose which arose from his political circumspection or timidity. That is my big problem (or disappointment) with him -- that he didn't push for much more and fight back much harder.

r9 Obama was far from the only one with that stance. Nobody in the Democratic party really supported it until they saw regular people supporting it. The Clintons had that same stance as well, and they both looked pretty happy when signing DOMA. When they started acting like they supported it all along, the establishment did a pretty good job to make sure all that was swept under the rug.
You also have to look around at that time. Obama won California at the same time Prop 8 passed. The Hate Crimes Act barely passed with the protections for gays. They had to wait until lame duck session to get rid of DADT. If he had come out in support of that in 2008, he'd end up like Bernie Sanders.

On January 30, pastor and far-right media figure Jack Hibbs gave the House of Representatives’ opening prayer as guest chaplain at the invitation of Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA). Hibbs used the opportunity to pray for God to bring “holy fear” to the representatives in preparation for a “coming day of judgment” in which “all who have been and are now in authority will answer to” God.
Hibbs is a pro-Trump Christian nationalist pastor who has built a right-wing media profile through interviews on Fox News, Newsmax, and Charlie Kirk’s Salem Media program, and his weekly commentaries have aired on Fox Business.
Hibbs has openly supported right-wing candidates and campaigned against LGBTQ inclusion in public schools, and he frequently warns followers of a coming “Antichrist.” Hibbs made headlines after the January 6 insurrection for defending the violence at the Capitol as “what you get when you eject God from the courts and from the schools,” and he later said that President Joe Biden “needs to be facing court-martial.”

[quote] In the days leading up to the attack on the Capitol, Hibbs echoed Donald Trump's election fraud lies and inflamed his followers by preaching that January 6* would go down in history alongside the War of Independence and the War of 1812. By preaching that God had anointed the Trump administration and could still intercede to save Trump's presidency on January 6", Hibbs advanced a religious permission structure that led to violence by those who believed any means were justified to carry out what they viewed as God's plan. On January 6", Hibbs attended the MAGA rally at the Ellipse that preceded the attack. Immediately after the sacking of the Capitol, he went on Tony Perkins' "Washington Watch" program to tacitly justify what had just happened by repeating the lie that the election was "manipulated" and claiming: "This is what you get when you eject God from the courts and from the schools" and teach children they are "evolutionary byproducts."
[...]
[quote] Among other things, he has called transgender people a "sexually perverted cult" who are in "violation of the word and will of God" and part of an "anti-God, anti-Christ plan of none other than Satan himself." He launched a nationwide campaign to require schools to out transgender students in order to defeat "demonic and dark satanic powers." He claims that same-sex marriage has "crucified God's word and that homosexuality and acceptance of LGBTQ+ people is evidence that humanity is living in the "last days." He champions discredited "conversion therapy" and has rallied opposition to a California law to reduce anti-LGBTQ+ bullying in schools.
[...]
[quote] Hibbs' intolerance non-Christians is also breathtaking. He preaches that Christians are at "war" against the "death cult" of Islam, which he calls a "vehicle for Satan in the Last Days. He criticizes Christians who seek interfaith dialogue with Muslims based on the common Abrahamic origins of the two religions as falling for "a demonic doctrine being propagated by heretics." At a time of rising antisemitism, Hibbs also disparages Jews as being in a "stupor" and a "God-given blindness," unlike the "true Jews" who worship Jesus because "they didn't get bogged down in Judaism, which... cannot save you." He also recently argued that the Israel-Hamas war is another sign of the End Times and that Jewish people must save themselves by turning to Jesus; if they do, he urges Christians to "look past the sins of Israel and the sins of the Jew and give them the hope of Jesus."
[quote] Hibbs also embraces the false and exclusionary Christian nationalist narrative that the United States was established as a "Christian nation," and he has repeatedly flouted separation of church and state by working to institutionalize Christian prayer and bible readings at local school board meetings, among other things.

'If that’s you and you’re curious about a career in public safety, we have a full week’s worth of paid work for you! Registration closes in 2 weeks,' the post continued.
The post drew strong mocking online for being 'woke' and only asking for people who identify as women, and not those born as women.

Great thread thanks for posting OP. I have been learning more about Christian Nationalism and what it stands for and what it means recently and was thinking of posting a thread on DL about it myself.
In my learning journey about Christian Nationalism - one thing I have come to firmly understand is that they absolutely HATE us and want to eradicate us. Us = gays and specifically gay males.
We all need to be very aware and educated about these people because they're coming for us now. Their first stop will be gay marriage and then existing discrimination laws and protections for gay people. They want those removed.

[quote]Christian evangelics have almost no influence on America at large.
This is completely false - in fact, your statement is a total lie R27. Evangelicals exert MASSIVE and very determined political and social influence at the moment. One of them is Speaker of the United States House of Representatives right now and says everything he does in his life is dictated by the bible. He said that on camera and it was beamed out around the globe.
Then there's the MAGA Freedom caucus who are self professed Evangelical Christians and as we know they control Congress and Dump controls them and Evangelical church leaders are in Dump's ear all day long. All the anti-LGBT legislation around the US is sponsored and pushed by Evangelical and other christians - the stuff like don't say gay and book bannings and drag queens and religious freedoms in the medical field where they can refuse to treat gay people like in Florida and the list goes on and on and on.
I can't believe you posted such a ridiculous lie on Datalounge which is so blatantly untrue and so easily refutable R27. Why did you do it? So you could get in that comment about the far left? Who might be batshit crazy but are of no danger to gay people whatsoever - whereas Evangelical and other the christians (like Catholics et al) are coming for us and they've happily told anyone who will listen that they are coming for us and what they want to do to repeal all the progress we've made and push us back in the closet so we cower in terror.

[quote] Christian nationalists overlap in their policy goals with the familiar, Christian right activists of previous decades, which means they often support policies that have long been mainstays of the Republican Party’s social agenda — restricting abortion access, adding more religion to public schools in various forms, banning federal support for gender-affirming health. But public statements from Christian nationalists, conversations with them, and their behavior when in power suggests less that they’re after a specific list of Christian-influenced policy items — instead, it is a broader approach to public life: one focused on obtaining power and using it to both instruct and shape the behavior of American society in accordance with specific, hardline interpretations of Christianity on which they believe the country was founded.
[...]
[quote] What Christian nationalism offers instead is an approach to enacting that same old Christian-right social conservatism that’s rooted in a more muscular, aggressive approach to the use of federal power. If a previous generation of the Christian right would have preferred their children to be home-schooled; the Christian nationalists may want to see government-funded chaplains in schools.
[quote] At its core is a deeply held, manichean belief that there’s no such thing as a neutral, secular public square — only competing religions that shape public morality — and that America cannot last in its current social form.

Here's a synopsis of what Project 2025 seeks to do to LGBT people:
Project 2025 promotes the ideal that the government should "maintain a biblically based, social-science-reinforced definition of marriage and family."[14] To achieve this end, it proposes the recognition of only heterosexual men and women, the removal of protection against discrimination on the basis of sexual or gender identity, and the elimination of provisions pertaining to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) from federal legislation.[18][19] Individuals who have participated in DEI programs or any initiatives involving critical race theory might be fired.[14] The White House's Gender Policy Council would be disbanded.[14] Government agencies would be forbidden from instituting quotas and collecting statistics on gender, race, or ethnicity.[14][81] Project contributor, Jonathan Berry explains, "The goal here is to move toward colorblindness and to recognize that we need to have laws and policies that treat people like full human beings not reducible to categories, especially when it comes to race."[81] Moreover, the U.S. Census Bureau would be reformed along conservative principles.[14]

[quote] Sources with direct knowledge of the matter say Trump has not just been having discussions and briefings with government-in-waiting types and former senior administration officials — Trump has been actively soliciting new ideas for how they can do things that didn’t work the first time around, including demanding novel legal theories for eliminating birthright citizenship. Numerous legal scholars argue that Trump cannot do that via executive order, which is why the former president is eager for MAGA-friendly lawyers to concoct outlandish work-arounds.
[quote] Moreover, according to three sources who’ve spoken to him about it, Trump has repeatedly told confidants since leaving office that one of the biggest regrets of his presidency was allowing then-Secretary of Defense Esper to push back on Trump’s furious demands for a bigger show of force against racial-justice protests that occurred in 2020, including in front of the White House.

A network of ultrawealthy Christian donors is spending nearly $12 million to mobilize Republican-leaning voters and purge more than a million people from the rolls in key swing states, aiming to tilt the 2024 election in favor of former President Donald Trump.
These previously unreported plans are the work of a group named Ziklag, a little-known charity whose donors have included some of the wealthiest conservative Christian families in the nation, including the billionaire Uihlein family, who made a fortune in office supplies, the Greens, who run Hobby Lobby, and the Wallers, who own the Jockey apparel corporation.
Recipients of Ziklag’s largesse include Alliance Defending Freedom, which is the Christian legal group that led the overturning of Roe v. Wade, plus the national pro-Trump group Turning Point USA and a constellation of right-of-center advocacy groups.
“We are in a spiritual battle and locked in a terrible conflict with the powers of darkness,” says a strategy document that lays out Ziklag’s 30-year vision to “redirect the trajectory of American culture toward Christ by bringing back Biblical structure, order and truth to our Nation.”
Read the full article. There’s MUCH more. No paywall.

Exactly. The whole trans/nonbinary nonsense is not supported by science/biology and requires a leap of faith.
It's become the far-left's religion.

[quote] At least 17 districts have publicly said they will not change their curriculum. Many of those districts cite Oklahoma law, which leaves determining “instruction, curriculum, reading lists and instructional materials and textbooks” up to the exclusive purview of school districts.
