It’s highly problematic that the Christian nationalist element of the GOP wants to cut aid to Ukraine if they take congress.https://t.co/1Yd2EkRiso https://t.co/QV0xCrdtIi

Someone tell our friend DICARLO … 😀
“Christian nationalists represent a frightening dynamic within the Republican Party. They are theocrats who don’t believe in the separation of church and state and who argue that the United States was founded as a “Christian” nation and needs to return to those origins. They despise Western secularist culture; fear white demographic decline; and deeply resent feminism, homosexuality, abortion rights, and even individualism, which they see as a modern concept at odds with a more traditional, hierarchal society.
Christian nationalists now dominate the extreme right of the Republican Party, and they have come to believe that Putin is a warrior for Christian fundamentalism and that his invasion of Ukraine is one step in his campaign to crush the global woke left.
Christian nationalists see Putin as the leader in a powerful right-wing counterattack against liberal secularism and as a protector of their Christian faith. Putin has encouraged this support from Christian nationalists in the United States and other Western nations by co-opting the Russian Orthodox Church and waging a culture war inside Russia, notably with anti-gay and other supposedly “pro-family” measures.
Now, many in the Christian nationalist wing of the Republican Party openly want Putin to crush Ukraine’s pro-Western government and win the war. They willingly accept Russian disinformation and often parrot Moscow’s lies about Ukraine.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is one of the loudest voices of Christian nationalism in Congress, and one of the few who doesn’t shy away from the term in public. Earlier this year, she spoke at an event held by a white nationalist group where many in the crowd chanted, “Putin! Putin!” …”
Professor Samuel Perry is out with some new research on Christian nationalists on election day.
“In the first national survey to inquire directly about this issue, we asked a representative sample of more than 1,700 American adults how well “Christian nationalist” described them. Though prior research shows a large percentage of Americans embrace Christian nationalist beliefs to varying degrees, to date we still did not know the percentage who actually identified as Christian nationalists.
Roughly 25% of American adults (representing more than 50 million people) said the label described them either “very well” (11%) or somewhat well (14%). Among Republicans, that number rose to 45%, with more than 20% saying it described them “very well.”
In contrast, less than 17% of Democrats said the label described them either somewhat or very well. Nearly 69% said it didn’t describe them at all. …”
About 58% of white evangelicals said “Christian nationalist” described them somewhat or very well, dwarfing all other religious groups. Only about 20% of white liberal Protestants or white Catholics identified with the label at some level. The closest group to white evangelicals are Black Protestants, roughly 35% of whom said Christian nationalist described them somewhat or very well. …“
Interesting poll result on black Protestants.
This suggests that about a third of them are highly uncomfortable with the cultural values of libtards on issues like feminism and “trans.” We might see that show up in the midterms.
Again No to Satanic Nationalism. The official policy of the Dumbocrat.
White Christian’s do not resent individualism, we have a problem with moronic, retarded, stupid people, like you shitheads writing for the ” Intercept”……….
If you think about what the best aspect of individualism is, then it is heroism. And that is a core value of the right, not the left. Although the left sometimes talks about it, the only “heroism” they truly know is self-debasement, masochism. Sad!
ARMINIUS ” Then it is Heroism”, Excellent point Sir……
Told you, their was friction between the Irish and black Democrat coalition over sexual deviancy and crime. The Irish resent blacks and blame all black for black crime and blacks think the Irish are a bunch of assloving trans pedo freaks. It really is a shame, the big Irish faggott Sean Patrick Maloney, could have been the queer version of JFK, getting shagged in the caboose morning noon and night, right in the peoples house, it would have been something.
Most everyone discussed here couldn’t even fid The Ukraine on a map two years ago. I guess you take support wherever you can get it though. .
>They are theocrats who don’t believe in the separation of church and state
Yeah, but you also realize that the separation of church and state is a f*cking joke when the left and libtards have their own state-religion of negrolatry (as long as they don’t talk about you know who), philo-semitism, holocaustianity and outright Satanism. The reason why I like “the great GAE” so much is, you know that you are colonized by NU Amurica, not by neo-colonial buildings, or the great British Raj, or even the military bases and NSA compounds, but because there is a gay pride flag on your f’ing convenience store. I mean the place sells tomatoes, potatoes and bread for crying out loud!
>and who argue that the United States was founded as a “Christian” nation and needs to return to those origins.
well, duh!
>They despise Western secularist culture;
BASED!
>fear white demographic decline;
absolutely
>and deeply resent feminism, homosexuality, abortion rights,
BASED! AND RED PIIILLED!
>and even individualism, which they see as a modern concept at odds with a more traditional, hierarchical society.
DEUS VULT, baby, DEUS VULT!
Jim was right: this truly is the year of the Chud!
“even individualism, which they see (…) at odds with a more traditional, hierarchical society”;
I’ll grant you that these middle class reactionaries do like “hierarchial society” (or class). It negates all their virtues.

You said there’s a frightening dynamic but we’re still waiting to hear the scary part.
The brains that run the elections are saying the results may not be known for a few says or weeks.
A decision about further aid to Ukraine ought to be a matter of principle, moral and political principle, not the outcome of some political calculus where the midterm results are one of the factors.
Local Republican party workers standing at different polling places today were telling people that Biden has been too soft on “our enemies,” Russia, Putin and China. One of them showed an article that said Biden gave billions of dollars to Russia earlier this year, and he also gave billions to China (I forget how many billions he said).
Another Republican at another polling place was telling people “China is buying up American farmland.” I informed him that China has also bought a lot of our “debt,” and if they dump all those worthless assets suddenly, the Dollar will crash.
With this much fear and hatred of Russia, Putin and China in the minds of ordinary people, I think it is very unlikely that MAGA Republicans will actually try to reduce spending for Khazarkraine.
“Christian nationalists represent a frightening dynamic within the Republican Party”:
I’m not sure they are Christian, and they are capitalist imperialists, not genuine nationalists. They are somewhat frightening though. They are soldiers/weapons of the system.
“It’s highly problematic that the Christian nationalist element of the GOP wants to cut aid to Ukraine”:
I say its highly UNLIKELY.
I stand with the Ukrainian people. They are just like us Americans….we both need different governments.
