We are not a Christian nation. We are a pluralistic democracy. These extremists are dangerous, and they hold too much power today.

I suspect a lot of people, when they hear "Christian Nationalist," think "I'm a Christian and I love my nation, that sounds great!" It's not necessarily the pejorative people want it to be. How about "Christian Supremacist?"

Where I'm from, a nationalist is something way different from a person who simply loves their country. It means that the own nation is superior to others.

Nationalist does not mean you love your nation. That's patriotism. Nationalism is more chauvinistic, exclusionary, and often aggressive.

Nationalists are people who see their own nation as paramount to all others and this feeling trickles down to feelings toward people who are not of their definition of what a person of their nation should be.

Is there any reason to believe that large groups of people accidentally identify themselves that way? People generally know what identifiers they take on mean. I think this is just a tendency to give ‘those kinds of people’ any cover + excuse you can find to diminish the virulence of their beliefs.
