The momentum propelling Christian nationalists towards straight-up white power rhetoric is a tragic thing to behold.
First: Race and Identity.

The response is as significant and telling as the original racist post.
The racism, the arrogance, the lack of self awareness, the disregard for humanity are all on display.
To the 81% where is the breaking point?
How far is too far?

The racism is galling. No filters. Totally should be censured (among the hundreds of other things that make him disqualified).
And not to downplay that, but this headline makes it sound like he was on a one time social media bender. But he poasts like a madman every single day.

Judging from Andrew Torba's timeline, I don't think his gender necessarily makes him more capable of handling toxic social media well lol
Also the fact that he compared social media to the "gladiator arena" tells you everything you need to know about how baked into poaster culture these guys are

Q: Pope Leo cited Matthew 25:35 to critique Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda. How would you respond to Pope Leo in scripture?
MIKE JOHNSON: Sovereign borders are biblical and right and just. It's not because we hate the people on the outside. It's because we love the people on the inside.

Well well wouldn’t you know. He posted a longer response.
I’d argue the exegetical approach here is pretty flawed, but he *does* give a more thoughtful attempt than simply tossing Acts 17 out there (though he does do that too)

I wish, wish, wish that Christians would go further than simply saying “borders are biblical,“ or tacking on Acts 17 as a prooftext.
This is actually one of those areas that American Christians would benefit from having a real, robust, theology of nation rather than just mimicking the party line.
