Powerful article from Professor Throckmorton.
From the article:
If Christian nationalism describes an ideology that exists, which I believe it does, then we should talk about it. If there is confusion about what it is and who it applies to, then we should talk about it more, not less.

See this Pepe meme guy whose Twitter profile pic in 2021 was him proudly posing as a late 2010s College Republican with "groyper mom" Michelle Malkin? Well, he was the first guy Chris Rufo hired in 2021, and he's now the press secretary working under Russell Vought at OMB.

David Barton is Mike Johnson’s favorite fauxstorian & the source of a lot of the wacky history believed by Christian Nationalists

Despite huffing and puffing from Trump and his flying monkeys, a majority of Republicans joined with all the Democrats in the Indiana Senate to reject the proposed gerrymander. A fine day for Indiana, for fair districting, and for the future of the Republican Party if it is to deserve to have one.

When I wrote my first essay on the question of Trump and fascism, late in 2015, I decided he wasn't one, because he wasn't working toward a one-party state.
My judgement was premature.

Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map.
This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026.
The vote failed big, 19/31.
The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!

As a reminder, this "Religious Liberty Commission" is not really about protecting true religious liberty for all. This is about pushing #ChristianNationalism & promoting a narrow slice of rightwing Christianity in government:

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.
