Politico Looks Into Group That Would Infuse Trump’s Second Term With Christian Nationalism

It was subtle, but you might have noticed how the Left's bogeyman quietly shifted from "white supremacy" to "Christian nationalism." That's the new biggest threat to our democracy. We guess they needed something since white supremacy lost all meaning from overuse.

So now we're facing down Christian nationalism — Christofascism for short. As much as the founding of the United States was built on "whiteness," it was also built on Christianity. And that needs to be "disrupted."

As the country has become less religious and more diverse, Vought has embraced the idea that Christians are under assault and has spoken of policies he might pursue in response.

Trump is not a devout man of faith. But Christian Nationalists have been among his most reliable campaign activists and voting blocs. Trump formed a political alliance with evangelicals during his first run for office, delivered them a six to three conservative majority on the Supreme Court and is now espousing the Christian right’s long-running argument that Christians are so severely persecuted that it necessitates a federal response.
