Christian nationalists are a small and dangerous group with outsized power

The thread title is the title of the MSNBC article, verbatim. And the article is not even listed as an op-ed piece. It's written by MSNBC employee, Ja'han Jones.
And fwiw, the research he cites is from the Public Religion Research Institute (PPRI), a Leftist woke organization who seem obsessed with White supremacy and Christian Nationalism.

Story by Ja'han Jones
Public Religion Research Institute CEO Robert Jones shared new data this week that shines light on the disturbing popularity of Christian nationalism — summed up as a belief that America's national identity is interwoven with Christianity — in regions of the country controlled by Republicans.
When the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, it was a clear sign that the upper echelon of American legal power was delivering for evangelical extremists. And to underscore how dire things have become two years on, when the Alabama Supreme Court decision classified embryos used for in vitro fertilization as human beings, it wasn’t lost on critics that the chief justice invoked Bible verses in his concurring opinion and has been open in his support for extremely theocratic views.
So PRRI's new study on Christian nationalism, assembled using interviews with more than 22,000 people, is timely.
Here are a few of my key takeaways.
Christian nationalists are a relatively small group but wield outsized power
PRRI found “three in ten Americans qualify as Christian nationalism Adherents (10%) or Sympathizers (20%), compared with two-thirds who qualify as Skeptics (37%) or Rejecters (30%).”
So adherents and sympathizers of Christian nationalism make up about 30% of the American population — and evidently about 66% of the Supreme Court bench, if the Dobbs ruling is any indicator.

Replace “Christian nationalists” with “black supremacists”, “Jews”, “homosexuals”, or a number of other terms and publish the same article.

useful idiot
noun
plural useful idiots
: a naïve or credulous person who can be manipulated or exploited to advance a cause or political agenda
It is one task of the KGB [in 1982] to apply its skills of secrecy and deception to projecting the Soviet party's influence. This it does through contacts with legal Communist Parties abroad, with groups sympathetic to Soviet goals, with do-gooders of the type that Lenin once described as "useful idiots" …

There were an estimated 10 million black slaves who lived their lives on American soil. 63.5 million babies have been aborted in America since RvW and 40% of those abortions were performed on black women. For those scoring at home, that's over 25 million black babies that were aborted due to RvW.
This moron seriously believes the elimination of federal law that has killed over double the amount of black babies as the number of black slaves that ever lived in America is a bad thing and is Christian nationalist extremism.

quote:Being pro life or pro choice certainly has different views to abortions. But, the over turning of Roe v Wade had nothing to do with religion but everything to do with the constitution. R v W has been wrong for 50 years and this court finally had the guts to address it. The whole premise of the Roe v Wade decision was a woman's right to privacy. Made up nonsense and not in the constitution. They scream at the "far right SCOTUS" when they should be spending their energy on getting their state legislatures to address it. That is where it belongs.

Despite the claims to the contrary, I bet dollars to donuts that the author of this piece is casting a very wide net which includes all sane people who oppose the chemical castration and gender mutilation of minors.

It feels good to be an Ultra-MAGA, Christian Nationalist

That was my thought, it’s an inversion of the Jewish stereotype.

Can someone please define a "Christian nationalist" as the media uses it?
Posted on 3/1/24 at 1:04 pm to L.A.
they've created a new boogey man. I guess the fact that 99.9% of people have never seen a Klansman was seeming a little...insincere.
The new boogey man can be anyone. There are churches all over. It's insidious and will probably work on the same brain dead morons that thought white supremacy was the greatest threat to democracy. They truly are idiots.
