Chuck Darwin<p>‘The end of democracy’</p><p>
The growing prominence of Christian nationalism within the GOP has led to a scramble among pro-democracy groups to raise awareness about the risks it poses to elections and security<br> — a threat that’s hard to recognize when it’s dressed in religion.<br>
Christians opposed to a nationalist ideology are among the leaders of the pushback, <br>speaking in churches and at universities, <br>countering spiritual warfare language with other biblical verses that emphasize compromise <br>and peacemaking.<br>
“We must stand up to and speak out against Christian nationalism, <br>especially when it inspires acts of violence and intimidation,” read a statement by Christians Against Christian Nationalism, <br>a campaign organized by the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty, which supports the separation of church and state.</p><p>Schiess, the Duke theologian, said she encourages Christians to run through a checklist when they hear powerful figures making biblical references: </p><p>“Where is the language coming from and is this an appropriate use of it? <br>Is this being used either to incite violence or anger or fear? <br>Or, is it being used to make me feel comfortable and powerful and secure?”</p><p>The idea that Christian identity is under assault resonates with high-profile conservatives, <br>among them House Speaker Mike <a href="https://c.im/tags/Johnson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Johnson</span></a> (R-La.), who displays the <br>🔸“Appeal to Heaven” flag, 🔸<br>a Christian nationalist symbol, <br>outside his office in Washington. </p><p>Johnson is among many politicians on the right who recite <br><a href="https://c.im/tags/Ephesians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ephesians</span></a> 6:11 about putting on <br>“the full armor of God” <br>to face the Devil’s schemes.<br>
“Obviously, this is an increasingly hostile culture,” Johnson told the audience at a Christian women’s conference in 2022 where he quoted the verse. <br>“We all know that. We need to understand why that is, and we need to commit to do our part to confront it. 💥The kingdom of God allows aggression.💥”<br>
At the recent Conservative Political Action Conference, a right-wing conclave now dominated by pro-Trump factions, <br>far-right conspiracy theorist Jack <a href="https://c.im/tags/Posobiec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Posobiec</span></a>, onstage with Trump ally Stephen K. <a href="https://c.im/tags/Bannon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bannon</span></a>, welcomed the crowd <br>“to the end of democracy.”</p><p>“We’re here to overthrow it completely. <br>We didn’t get all the way there on January 6, <br>but we will endeavor to get rid of it and replace it with this,” Posobiec told the audience, holding up a <a href="https://c.im/tags/cross" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cross</span></a>.<br>
“Amen,” Bannon said.</p>

Chuck Darwin<p>The annual Conservative Political Action Convention (CPAC) is seldom subtle.

That’s right, because all glory, all glory is not to government, all glory is to God." </p><p>Was the remark in jest? </p><p>No. And the crowd knew it.&nbsp;<br>His comments got big <a href="https://c.im/tags/applause" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>applause</span></a> and an “amen” from moderator Steve <a href="https://c.im/tags/Bannon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bannon</span></a>, who, by the way, is set to stand trial in a New York state court for fraud and money laundering in May and only escaped federal prosecution because of a presidential pardon. </p><p>As far as I have seen, no Republican attendee denounced Posobiec’s comments.</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/CPAC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CPAC</span></a> is the annual four-day conference for extremist Republicans.
