I’m not saying that the GOP’s actions are grounded in the actual tenets of Christianity-just as a Muslim, I reject the Taliban’s perversion of my faith. But “Christian nationalism” is a political movement that is inseparable from white nationalism as experts note. It’s a belief that the United States was founded as a white, Christian nation. It also relies on the core belief that there should be no wall between church and state, rather that our laws should be based on right-wing, extreme interpretations of the Christian faith. This is today’s GOP.

Well said. Forcing religion on people isn’t done out of a desire to improve the world for everyone, it’s about controlling others to remake the world for an ever-shrinking distillation of patriarchy and faux traditionalism. That’s fundamentally fascist.

The overturning of Roe is only one indicator; the Christian Nationalists are very clear that they don’t think this is a country with room for alternative opinions, and they want to ensure compliance with their reactionary anti-intellectual agenda through the force of law.
