[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Black Christian here. Where is the white nationalist policy exactly? I don’t see it. Getting rid of DEI and racial preferences is not it, sorry. Neither are immigration restrictions. There is a certain type of liberal church “leader” who likes to pontificate for the Democratic Party. But not actually have any policy ideas that help anyone. It’s their thing. It’s getting really old.[/quote] White Christian nationalism has been utilized in many ways both subtle and not so subtle: in the past week alone, instead of comforting a nation mourning the flight crash between a regional jet carrying many members of elite US figure skating community and a military chopper, he blamed the crash (with no evidence) on DEI hires. Scholars have written volumes on the use of racist language and symbols at Trump rallies that are combined with MAGA Christian nationalist language. Trump’s Christian Nationalist Vision for America https://time.com/7019236/trumps-christian-nationalist-america-essay/ White Christian nationalists are poised to remake America in their image during Trump’s second term, author says by Analysis by John Blake and CNN January 13, 2025 https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/01/12/us/white-christian-nationalism-du-mez-cec Trump, the ‘religious right’ and white Christian nationalism https://www.americamagazine.org/faith/2024/01/05/white-christian-nationalism-rise-246538 Donald Trump's Dangerous Closing Message to his White Christian Followers How it started is how it's ending. ROBERT P. JONES NOV 04, 2024 Down the home stretch of the campaign, Donald Trump has doubled down on his message of Christian nationalism and white grievance. While his speeches have indeed become more meandering and more extreme, they nonetheless contain a coherent appeal that taps key elements from authoritarian playbooks around the world, including 1930s Nazi Germany: The once proud nation and the Christian institutions that made it that way are in decline and in danger of being destroyed. We must fight, fight, fight to make this nation great again. The nation was once racially and religiously pure but is now being contaminated by elements from without and defiled by enemies from within. The political opposition is not just misguided or wrong on policies; they are sick and evil people who want to destroy the country. Only one political leader, chosen by God for this moment, can save the country. Only he can restore order and the dominion of white Christians in America. He alone can bring us back to being ”one people, one family, and one glorious nation under God.” https://www.whitetoolong.net/p/donald-trumps-dangerous-closing-message[/quote] Trump criticizing DEI to blame a white woman who crashed a plane is not evidence of white nationalism. His was insinuating that she got extra points for being a woman in whatever criteria gets used to promote pilots - is it true? I don’t know and he’s obviously jumping to conclusions but that doesn’t make it white nationalism. And if the military is lowering otherwise applicable standards based on race or sex, that IS a problem in my book. I asked about POLICY and you responded by pointing to evidence that some racists like Trump. Yup, some do. And so what? Some communists/socialists vote Democratic and hope to use Democrats to their ends - doesn’t make Democratic POLICY communist or socialist. Also I know some racist Democrats too! [/quote] White Christian Nationalism (and the trade war plus his mass deportations) are distractions from Trump’s intent to install a fascist state where his executive powers have no constraints: The point is he has exploited white Christian. Nationalism to justify the extremist agenda in p25. He is already in the process of hijacking the US federal government and dismantling Dept Education and USAID (even though both were established by Congress and he does not have authority to authorize Musk to dismantle them). The billionaire was never elected to office or been confirmed by the Senate for a high-level government job, but in just a few days, has gained access to federal personnel data and the Treasury payment system through his position as head of President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency. DOGE’s other targets include - US. Agency for International Development, which closed its headquarters Monday in anticipation of shutting down entirely; - the Treasury Department, which pays the government’s bills; - the General Services Administration; - the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and - the Education Department. It is not so much policy as an ideological government wrecking ball. [/quote] Basically liberals scream about “white nationalism” because that’s supposed to get mindless people of color on their side. When really your problem is with expansive executive power (a legit problem), but Democrats have no high ground on that because Biden (and Obama, but especially Biden!) also tried to accomplish by EO things he had zero power to do. So just keep screaming “racism!” [/quote] Oh please - there id no comparison / Trump’s extreme EOs are unprecedented . Also it is not a matter of a Cynical ploy to win anyone over / it is being aware of how Trump has exploited both religion and racism and nationalism in an unholy soup to whip up a cult of personality around himself.
