They always said it would happen (communism,) from the left but even then the projection was real and subtle. Holy shit this has really been in development for decades!

Christian nationalism is healthy if you give it a try. It's way better than being a black trans woman all day.

Yes. I doubt anything is harder than being a black Trans woman. But I’ll leave the KKKristians to you.

I thought you liked my post. So, you agree black trans women are black niggas with a fetish?

"Christian Nationalism" has nothing to do with morals or faith. It is solely a political entity and nothing else. The "Christian" part is to make them feel better when women bleed out and die in the parking lot from a spontaneous miscarriage. When denying healthcare is superior to providing it.

Not convinced they’re truly Christian’s. Far closer to Satanists really.

By design

For the most part so were we (UK) but difference was we had a full political spectrum, so even if socialism was under represented, it still had a voice (Benn, Scargill, Redgrave, etc.) Staggering thing about USA is how narrow your political spectrum has always been. Diversity totally shut out.

Anything with the word "Christian" in it is suppose to be good, right? 🙄

and.. is actually worse than the others

And now we are 2000% closer to what the chodes think communism is than we’ve ever been

Right

It was on my radar

@papst-ny.bsky.social

It was the 'Christians' that taught us to fear socialism. GD liars

Christians have been responsible for the torture, death and abuse of countless innocents and all in the name of their god and religion.

Yes. White Christian Nationalists are geniuses -- just like the Orange Anus. However, most paying attention saw the WCN's evolve since before Obama. Ever heard of Charlottesville? Most were taught to not fear socialism & communism but FASCISM. Don't know where MS Kohut was taught.

Not most peoples for sure.

There are genuine reasons to fear communism & some of the forms of socialism that have so far been put into practice. We need a socialism that doesn't put all the power in the hands of the government or give them the ability to control information like most socialist nations have done in the past.

Uh. . . Yes, it was. In my middle school history class call they were called Nazis.

Yes Nationalist Christians or Nat-Cs.

You had some good history classes!

💯

Himmler created an occult pseudo-religion for the SS, replacing Christianity with a syncretic brew of paganism, mythology, and pseudoscience to give the regime a mystical identity.

Let’s be honest.

Yes let's be be honest. Hitler would say what ever he had to say to what ever audience he was speaking BEFORE he was chancellor. The time line of his writing and speeches is critical.

So he only needed the support of the killers. That’s a defense of who exactly?

He needed the unwavering support of the inner circle to spread lies, fear, and political chaos to gain power. "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."

That is open to debate.

It probably was, & those two were constantly promoted as bad because white is might w/racism mixed in it pushed the agenda on conquering the US western land grab & Native Americans were told No you cannot practice your spirituality, no living off land, no communities, no buffalo. Quarantined

is now

Exactly. We were all taught to fear the commies. Meanwhile, all religions/religious get a pass and can be weaponized and used against the masses. It's why religions exist. They are tools of oppression.

Yup

and the weird thing is, the christians claim they worship a god who called for many of the tenets/goals they decry communism for having.

I remember when the military taught us to eliminate Nazis and Commies. Now they occupy the White House. All of those lives wasted fighting Fascism in WWII. Never did trust Evangelicals. They always preach poison and greed.

It was the Christian Nationalists “Christofascists” were the ones “teaching” us to fear communism and socialism. And that started during reconstruction to justify limiting poor (black) voters because they would vote for programs that would “take” money from the rich.

Christian Nationalism is the worst.

I taught myself to strongly dislike both extremes. There are pros and cons throughout history. We can learn from the successes and mistakes of the past, but we need to stop trying to make either socialism or fascism happen. They are NOT long-term solutions for everybody. WE NEED A NEW PARADIGM.

Yet, history repeats itself.

Yes. History DOES repeat itself. We can look at those past failures and choose not to repeat them.

Christian nationalism was the founding fathers’ biggest fear, after the human carnage it left in its wake in Europe.

The Christian nationalists were the ones teaching others to fear the other two things

Genius is one word for it.

Amazing how many faces Christian Nationalism has …. Yet none of them seem to advocate protection for the poor, sick, disenfranchised, elderly, immigrants, the underpaid, pregnant women in foetal distress ….. it appears to currently only favour a tyrant trying to upend democracy for a dictatorship.

Some of us were raised by christofacists and have been screaming about it for most of our lives to anyone who would listen, only to be told that we hated Christians and had chips on our shoulders.

I thought the Jonestown tragedy did that.

The old testament was a deeply dark time. Bringing the ethos into general life? No thanks!

Right. And here we are on our way right back.

Oh, what poverty does to us, now and for all time

Yes indeed. Oppression.

And it's the worst of all ideologies!!

Truly

Maybe when Christian Nationalists build gulags and laogai that industrialise mass murder of millions, you might have something real to fear, as opposed to your projections Christian Nationalism is a political danger to America as it's a Zionist heresy that serves the interests of Israel

We have both domestic and foreign "gulogs" under Trump. With the destruction of our health and human services, the future death toll from preventable diseases will make the current measles outbreak look like the sniffles!

Haven't seen any Socialism. Fascism yesThis system subordinates individual businesses to the needs of the state, with the government dictating economic activities and setting prices and wages.

Absolutely

I was raised Catholic. As a result, I fear nearly all religious people. I know a few who can somehow remain decent, while still being religious, but not many.

Fear public education and housing! Do not fear a lack of public education or housing!

Who do you think was teaching people to fear communism & socialism? Hint; It rhymes with ghistian gastionalism

yah...i think today's evangelical aka christian nationalism aka christo fascism is far worse in scope and actions than it ever was in past...their importance is also amplified by fact that GOP/Trump must have them in nat'l voting block. So their fanatical medieval positions are now nat'l agenda. 😒

Christian nationalism is worse than anything else😂

25 years ago….we were warned.

We've spent years being taught that we had to 'respect' religious people no matter what nonsense they spouted.

Lol. I didn't.

Yep. Disgusting.

Disgusting

The Republican party in Total Control of Government. Went from “Christian” to Nazi Hitler right before our eyes. The very same people who tell us to fear Government & socialism, because it will lead to communism. #GOP

Quotation marks aren't necessary here.

You wouldn’t have to fear anything, if corporations weren’t people and were regulated. You know by a functioning Government. #StuckOnStupid #Fascism is #Treason SCOTUS #EndCitizensUnited

That's because they got it backwards we are not communist they are we are I guess a little socialist because we want everyone to do well not just 1% but we're talking about maga I swear to God they don't have a brain in their head who knows what they're saying it's a mystery

Federal law enforcement started calling out the domestic terrorism threat from white supremacists and nationalists back during the Obama administration. But Congress did nothing about it and the White House did nothing about it. And now here we are.

It was very much on the radar.

Your radar is finely tuned. Must be exhausting.

It is.

Lets face it we are brainwashed about everything, truth isn't what we are told, truth is buried under layers of lies, peel the onion.

Remember Nazi Germany? It was Christian.

Frank tried like hell to warn us about the fascist theocracy www.youtube.com/watch?v=AleP...

Because the Christian Nationalists were the ones telling us to fear everything else.

They’re actually the same now. Aren’t Christian Nationalists the ones who cozy up to Communist Russia, stop free trade, impose tariffs, hand out subsidies to farmers and nationalize semiconductor industries?

Communism Christian nationalism there is not muchdifference actually

Dumbest shit I’ll read today

Actually the dumbest shit you'll read today is if you read anything that comes out of Trump's mouth

True

Who do you think wanted us to fear communism and socialism?

I remember alarm bells going off when “Jesus Camp” was released and everyone said, “Geez those folks are batshit crazy. Good thing such an insane minority doesn’t have a chance of coming to power.” 🤔

It’s insane

Oh finally. I thought i was the only who remembered that doc. Shiny Happy People season 2 goes over evangelicals.

Right! That’s another one. They’re a small minority but they’ve been organized and working with deep-pocket interests. Republicans are a coalition and every coalition has its soft underbelly.

Through my own encounters & experiences, I knew to fear religious extremism like Christian Nationalism, long before I read "The Handmaid's Tale".

The Nat C's

And who was yelling communism and socialism? The Christian nationalists. They just hadn’t perfected the formula, but they sure spent 2000 years working on it.

That’s because it was the Christian Nationalists/fascists spreading the fear of communism and socialism.

Sneaky bastards, aren't they?

For a better understanding of what is going on listen to Rachel Maddow's ULTRA. Rachel Maddow Presents: Ultra - Podcast - Apple Podcasts share.google/h72rJgMztw6Z...

... and they've stocked up on high-velocity arms

Nor oligarchy

When I watched shiny happy people, I realized that when christian nationalists like the duggars were on tlc, I thought they were just rare/ odd folk—like the other shows tlc aired (e.g., hoarders, my 400 lb life)—I had no idea they were the foundation of a terrorist organization.

I realized some time ago (2016) that they were amassing an army. At the time I assumed most were GravyTeam 60s since the ones I heard about were older. But they were training every weekend. I had a poll manager tell me all about. Neither the local Democrats nor the election officials were concerned.

The Christian nationalists are the exact people who taught everyone to fear communism and socialism. The exact same.

Because, way back when, they were real Christian’s

Nazism was on the list. The whole "Christian Nationalism" thing is just rebranding by the corporate conspirators.

There’s nothing worse!

Back in the 60s, we had bomb drills at school in case the “reds” decided to nuke us. I guess insurrection drills would have been more helpful.

Much scarier than those other isms.

Christian Nationalism is white supremacy under the guise of Christianity.

Don’t feel bad, the original name for Christian Nationalists was Nazis,

VALID.

It is now, so we’ll prepare to, and eliminate it🇺🇸⚖️🦅😉

Not everyone. My Father taught me about them. And he was right.

It was always on our Gaydar.

Many of us learned what christian love meant, the hard way, by hard, meaning the appearance of the parish priest, bishop, or Lutheran minister who serves as the regional outreach coordinator.

Because we were taught to fear communism and socialism BY Christian nationalists. Project 2025 has been in the makings since President Dwight D. Eisenhower and is now coming to fruition

Religion, especially christianity, has been trying for the last four to six centuries (depending on the experts estimation of how long the Abrahamic god has been around) to totally dominate the planet earth. There's no way they'd allow any warning of just how dangerous they are to take hold.

The current regime isn't Christian, they're exploiting Christians votes for power and greed. The Christians will be their next target, when Christians finally realize what's happening and turn on them.

Right wing ideologies are always protected from criticism. Even most Dems fawn over capitalism.

Who did you think was telling us that?

Great point

Comrade Trump will change that.

They dont call it the facsist agenda for nothing,eh

That was their whole plan. The Christofascists have been building an army of brainwashed fundamentalists for decades. The HF and others played the long game behind the scenes. The GOP has been unconstitutionally enmeshed with the church for nearly 50 years. Some of us knew and we tried to warn you.

We didn't stress enough the whole freedom from religion thing when I grew up. Should have been a much bigger part of history class every year.

Yes it was, but not enough paid attention. Frank Zappa called it fascist theocracy.

It is the Christian Nationalists that hate communism. Who also hate brown people Who also hate smart people Who fear god They are a poison and a cancer

It is now.

yes it was....

And we pay the price with our lives..

The ideas have been around for a while - remember the movie Jesus Camp? That’s almost 20 years old. The formal educational system never teaches about it and media stays away from overt criticisms of the modern Christian revival - unless there’s a positive message (see Jesus Revolution on Netflix).

It has been on the radar for non religious persons our WHOLE lives! Just saying.

Yes you are right. I became atheist in my 20’s.

I don't really have a label when it comes to religion but my name says it all. Le(within)- ah(god) God is within and it is an individual and personal journey. 💓 You do you!!! 🤗

I agree with that. I also see god in nature and science and community.

Yes!!!! Life and Love!!! 💓✌🏻

They have no idea about Christ because they are cold blooded and cruel.

I literally heard pastors say they were tired of empathy. Let that sink in, America.

Great point. Why is that, I wonder.

Those of us who knew couldn't say anything. No one would believe it. So time shows what was hidden all along. Now, come and fight. You know the enemy, and you know its weakness. It is easily mocked. Easily discounted. It will take work, but many hands and a song makes the day go faster.

It’s just plain fascism with a Christian label and believe me it’s just a label, they haven’t a clue about the teachings of Jesus, let alone follow them

Yeah. Let’s start using the language. Repeating shit seems to work. Christian Nationalism is neither Christian nor patriotic.

The funny thing is just how often it's nationalism. George Orwell's "Notes on Nationalism" needs to be read, aloud and in unison, from here on out. It's a quick read, dammit. www.orwellfoundation.com/the-orwell-f...

This is great education. Thank you!

The first rule of Christian Nationalism is: you do not talk about Christian Nationalism.

Been on my radar for decades. Just a nicer name for the KKK.

Meanwhile in 2025 people think guaranteed life-saving aide and support and food and clothing and employment is NOW CONSIDERED socialism. -_-

We are LOST.

That’s what frustrates me. I keep hearing “both sides bad,” but one side is willing to give EVERYONE, regardless of political affiliation, free or at the very least cheaper healthcare, but nope.

Some of us have been shouting for decades, but we lack amazing tits… so.

We were not taught that white supremacy and Christian Nationalism are the same thing.

www.instagram.com/reel/DKvBKBj...

Strictly it was. History. Inquisition.

For me, as a Jew, Christian Nationalists are terrifying. If they don’t want to force me to “see the light”, they want me and my whole family dead. Death threats on my phone; knocks on my door from those determined to convert us; hate speech everywhere we go. I repeat, terrifying!!!

It is a true privilege to have lived in America and not have Christian Nationalism on your radar.

Plenty of fascists are/were Christian nationalists. Hitler used it. Trump has never been one but uses them.

Coincidence requires a considerable amount of planning.

Well said!!

I make memes, as well!

yeah WHO was telling us that... ?

The most genius move was to align communism and socialism so that it became synonymous. I live in a socialist country (germany) and have witnessed a communist country first-hand. I can tell you, those are not the same. On the other hand, there is not much difference between Theocracy and Fascism

Germany is a capitalist country, like every other country in the EU.

Yes it is. And we have universal health care and unemployment benefits which is enough to get by, so we are also a socialist country. This is socialism, the combination of capitalism and a social net that helps those in need, called "Soziale Marktwirtschaft" and it is in our constitution

No, that's called the social welfare state. Socialism is when the workers/citizens/community owns the resources & distributes them democratically. In Germany, the resources are held privately like they are in all of Europe, the US, Canada, Australia, Aotearoa/NZ, et al.

an old discussion in germany that has never been really resolved, so I won't go into it here. I stated the facts that germany has free market and socialism in one system. We call it "Soziale Marktwirtschaft" social free market

LMFAO, private ownership of resources is capitalism. Socialism = community/collective ownership of resources. Capitalism & socialism cannot coexist.

You are using semantics for a substantial discussion. I don't need this sort of discussion, I had enough of them about 30 years ago. So I am off here

My Polish in-laws have argued with me that they are. Fortunately they can’t vote because they’re not citizens (permanent green card) but they would have voted for tRUMP if they had the chance. 🤦🏻‍♀️

What do you mean by "they are". No offense, I just want to understand your tweet

Oops! Sorry, I got confused as to what you were asking. I meant that they believe that communism and socialism are synonymous.

So, communism advocates can always say that the Soviet Union did not have "real communism". But if you read Marx, it is clear that he never had an idea about how a communist society could work. He was right on the critics about markets but never envisioned a state built upon his economic ideas

LOL, humans lived for 100s of millennia in cooperative, egalitarian partnership, SHARING RESOURCES, eg, socialism. Collectivism (communism has way too much political baggage) is humans' natural state. Patriarchy destroyed that, as it is now destroying all of life.

Problem in these discussions is that people confuse the political and the economic system. The Soviet Union had the political system communism and the economic system central planning. To further complicate things, the political system was distorted by integrated fascism into the communist idea

Yes, this actually is what people have been told in communism. It is hard to overcome what you learned at school even though science says differently. Most people from former communist countries don't realize that a lot of what they learned was propaganda.

I was talking about both my father in law and mother in law.

Thank you so much.

it didn't fit into my first tweet but I still want to say: Franco's spain was a fascist state and a theocracy at the same time. Those two fit together like hand in glove

Well, we were taught that “fascism” is bad; however, we also were taught that fascism meant gas chambers and not that Jim Crow is as far as most fascist governments got.

Christian Nationalist is an OXYMORON! Christ was not a Nationalist He serves the world that consists of a rainbow of colours across the Globe. This country is a Radar blip in the larger scheme of Heavens plan. It’s a huge show on the Hell radar.

Well said

They used the Trojan Horse of the evangelical movement, what we see today is the outcome when poor theological interpretation combines with political and criminal greed. They are no more Christian than I am a pebble

The number of people who use communism and socialism interchangeably is fucking wild. they don't even understand what they are rallying against lol

Taught to fear by Republicans. Democrat “FDR” taught us, Freedom of speech and expression Freedom of worship Freedom from want Freedom from fear for All Humans on Earth! #DemocratsLead

Don't forget the right to privacy. Seems like a far away joke now. Dammit Orwell! You were a visionary.

We were taught lies. Socialism is the natural environment in which we evolved. All the rest of this shit (including patriarchy) was hung on the species when the concept of property was developed sometime around 12-15,000 yrs. ago.

I read The Handmaid’s Tale in high school in the 1980s.

Christian Nationalism is much worse than communism or socialism, bogeymen that I'm not sure really exist! But, we do have recorded history, documenting that many innocent people have died by the hand of Christians!

Nothing Christian about it Just a mask for their hate And a means to forceful EXPLOITATION & to REPRESS OPPRESS & SUPPRESS citizens

They aren’t Christian nationalists. They are mafia people who use Christianity because they’re organized crime. A lot of the time they are mafia Jews.

Communism shares poverty, socialism shares wealth. Capitalism shares nothing.

It share’s extinction in the making. Natural resources are not infinite.

To be honest, I think the academic world—made up of people who are largely reasonable and educated—believed that WW2 would basically be enough to tell everyone that militant Nationalism of any kind of a bad idea. They didn't account for people being dumb and tolerating dumbness.

Historians will be running circles around the fact, because it's just too embarrassing, but Fascism took over the U.S. in only 80 years because the phrase, "It's not that deep," took over 2 generations of Americans. We Not That Deep'd ourselves into a dystopian situation.

It was on the radar. Agnostics and atheists have been screaming about it for decades. No one would fucking listen.

Yup. I was too young to appreciate the damage Reagan was doing, although I knew he(/televangelists) was bad from Mad magazine. But I definitely remember the excitement from the right post-911 to link patriotism and Christianity. We tried to raise the alarm, but "don't be mean to Christians!"

I believe you.

I don't.

This. I grew up surrounded by this culture. I’ve been panicked about all this since the Tea Party days.

The same atheists and agnostics who blame all religions for everything bad in the world?

They wouldn’t be too very wrong lol. Yeah the same ones.

Of course they’re wrong. It’s a false cause fallacy.

Nope. It's not.

It most certainly is.

Exactly. If you're from the south, you have lived through it. It's always been there.

I am from the South. Born in Atlanta, Georgia and live in Southwest Virginia now.

We witches to!

The average atheist knows more about judeo-christianity than the average christian.

They all just thought we wanted to argue with them about their doctrines, etc. No we were screaming about what was on the horizon and how it couldn’t be allowed. They responded by acting like we were attacking them personally - as usual. Attacking their faith.

Sorry had to repost that twice. I just woke up and can’t think or type lol

If no one stops it we will end up with a theocracy and talk about shit. They are working on it as we speak. We better focus on separation of church and state.

Absolutely right

Shariah law with different spokesman.

Yes I tell people that but they refuse to see it. It’s most definitely same shit.

That is what American Christian Nationalism is...a bled of Evangelical Christianity and Wahhabism (strict Islamic secularism) both with so many judgemental ideas that need an act of punishment in the name of their faiths. I'm not religious but I research and even I can see. "Peace through strength"

The sad part is Americans have zero idea from where the concept comes.

Yep! 💯‼️ Canadians have also been trying to explain the different meanings of the words. (Education in the USA has really sucked for a long time!) We hate being called communists by Americans as their democracy has disintegrated before our eyes. The warning signs have been there for many years. 😞

That's because they were the ones who taught us to fear the GODLESS communists and socialists. SQUIRREL!!!!!

WHITE CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM IS REALLY WHITE NATIONALISM ! They are Nazis ! They are Domestic terrorists who love cruelty ! LOVE CRUELTY! They have been in our government forever! They ignore facts! They make their own reality. There is nothing Christian about them ! They have their own Bible

If you’ve met one Christian you’ve met them all. Same way if you’ve met one MAGA you’ve met them all. They’re all the same.

Too true. My wife had a chat with an Alabama Baptist about the “golden rule” . The Christian explained that do unto others stuff only applied to other members of her church.

Christianity itself is bogus..

Yall never watched Jesus Camp and it shows.

It was the Christian Nazis who were doin the teaching. Connect the dots from JFK, to Reagan, to 9/11, to COVID, to today. It's been a slow march into fascism. Little dose of poison that is killing the longer and We the People in this country. Wake up America. Revolution is the solution.

Yeah, according to history, they showed themselves during the Civil War, Cold War & the Civil Rights Movement. Their ideology seems to be a mix of Authoritarianism and Totalitarianism, but leaning more towards the latter. They are The American Taliban taking over our govt is a seditious manner.

They represent less than 10% of the US adult population & around 20% of US Christians. They are, literally, an extreme minority. Now, by comparison, the percent numbers are very similar to those found among Afghan Muslims vs Taliban Muslims in their overall population.

Every person who said to tax the churches, keep the church and state separate, keep the Bible out of schools and medical settings, find out wtf the FLDS are doing etc. had it on their radar.
