    This is what "coming to terms with saying I wouldn't vote for Trump" looks like. I can't wait for October when you and others have fully capitulated and renounced your vow to not vote for Trump, most likely based on inaccurate or dishonest news that "is just too far for me to risk Biden getting reelected"

    You sure like to throw out that term. I'm guessing that Hannity or Carlson must have run a segment on it recently.

    Here's another to research. Gaslighting. You've done it in this entire thread ever since the OP blew up in your face, I suspect because you didn't comprehend that the poor disbanded Christian school group was at an elementary school.

    Good question and I'd like a straight, non evasive answer.

    Likely, but a substantial number of moderates perceive and oppose the threat of a Christian Nationalist government. The Christian Nationalist's now in office have shown their true colors. If there is a conspiracy to exact control of the US government, it's just as, or more likely, to be one plotted by MAGA types as it is by Soros or the like, imo.

    Your vociferous deflective denial leads me to think you will at some point actively encourage it and work for it, starting in the attempt to hide it behind a cloak of invisibility as you are in your denials on this thread. Just as the emperor in the fairy tale had no clothes but tried to convince people he was dressed in the finest of silk, your denials of Christian Nationalism have no credence. The camels nose is in the tent.

    Q, you are becoming a Too Hot punchline.

    Nothing has blown up from the OP. There is no threat to establish Christianity as the religion of the United States. But you keep on following that whistle lol…

    The continued attempt to paint people that say they are Christians as “christian nationalists”. I am sure most of your community is filled with “christian nationalists” lol…

    I don't think anyone is saying that all Christians are Christian nationalists. That seems like a cheap way to dismiss conversation.

    Then people need to be honest about the fact “christian nationalists” are an extremely small group with no power. Instead of posting surveys to paint basically all those that proclaim to be Christians as nationalists.

    That isn't a dog whistle. A dog whistle is when you say something other than what you mean, but in such a way that others who agree with you understand what you are really talking about.

    I haven't seen anyone in this thread try to hide what they are talking about using dog whistles. Everyone has been pretty open and honest that they are talking about Christian Nationalists like Greene and Boebert when they say they are talking about Christian Nationalists.

    It absolutely is a dog whistle. Hard to believe you and others really think most Christians are Nationalists. Then again I could be wrong…

    I don't believe most Christians are Nationalists. I haven't seen anyone post anything here that suggests this. The polling that you mock doesn't suggest this. Can you quote anything where you see people saying that most Christians are Nationalists?

    For the record, I do believe that most Evangelical Christians are Nationalists.

    Typically, the people who brandish the term "Christian Nationalism" constantly as if large swaths of Christians are swept up in it are also swept up in the other leftist alarmisms like COVID alarmism, climate change alarmism, MAGA alarmism, SJW alarmism, etc.

    Alarmism in general is one of the effective psychological tactics of the left. Christian Nationalist alarmism is an apologetic strategy for the leftist social agenda for our country. It is a silencing tactic that demands that Bible believing Christians cede the moral framework of government to the various non-Christian God hating tribes clamoring for political power. It essentially says everyone else in society except for Bible believing Christians have the right to vote for their moral preferences in democracy. If you believe the leftist social program for America is immoral and wrong according to the Bible and we should not be OK with this, then you are a Christian nationalist trying to impose Christian sharia or the Handmaid's Tale on American society. That is what the accusation amounts to.

    It really is a hollow accusation because the number one thing Christian Nationalist alarmists point to is Dobbs. But what did Dobbs do? Dobbs allowed states to democratically decide the abortion issue for themselves. When it comes to the abortion issue even as many as 10% of atheists believe abortion is wrong. So, it is a moral issue that spans several worldviews, not just Christianity.

    Now, there is some truth that some people out there claim to be Christian Nationalists, but the actual self-proclaimed Christian Nationalists out there are so few and far between that any alarmism about a Christian Nationalist takeover is laughable fiction. There is no way that would ever happen in the current context, especially, with the majority coalition the MSM and the DNC have in this country. The majority coalition the MSM and the DNC would have to be seriously damaged and weakened for there to be any kind of opportunity for a Christian Nationalist takeover.

    People quivering and shaking in their boots about Christian Nationalism taking over would not be too dissimilar to Georgia fans whipping themselves up into a frenzy because they are afraid they could lose to Tennessee Tech this season.

    Yes, Tennessee Tech is a football team on Georgia's football schedule. Yes, they play a football game this year. No, Tennessee Tech is not going to win that football game.
