They defined Christian nationalism as “the belief that the country is or should be a Christian nation that can often include social and political campaigns supposedly aimed at maintaining or reverting back to that status.”

The ideology uses “efforts to restrict the space for religious pluralism in the country and give special privileges to a narrow segment of white Christians in America,” according to Rachel Laser, president of the nonpartisan Americans United for Separation of Church and State.

The Trump administration has been particularly vocal about lifting up both Christian nationalism and white nationalism – the belief that America should be run and populated by only white people.

I disagree. I think that Godless leftist are a direct threat to this country and they prove it every day by supporting things like Socialism, open borders and abolishing the Electoral College.

Someone asked why I highlighted her Jewish roots.

Imagine if you will if a white Christian called Jews a threat to freedom in this country. Now take the word threat and apply it to human instinct and think about how humans respond to a threat. Humans instinctively treat a threat as something that needs to be eliminated. So basically what she is saying is white Christians need to be eliminated because that's what humans do to threats.
