Top 10 signs you may be dealing with the bad kind of Christian nationalist:

1. His X bio contains both “Christ is King” and “Heritage American,” plus at least one symbol you have to Google.

2. Calls everyone else a coward from behind an anonymous account whose profile picture is a medieval knight staring heroically into the middle distance.

3. Tweets like he’s been asked to write dialogue for the villainous duke at a Renaissance faire: “The hour grows late. The sons of the West must remember their inheritance.”

4. Uses “Christendom” in ordinary conversation with absolutely no hint of irony.

5. Is deeply suspicious of “the Jews,” but becomes extremely offended if you notice that he is deeply suspicious of the Jews.

6. Has somehow turned opposition to DEI into a passionate commitment to racial demographics, bloodlines, ancestry, and making sure everybody stays in their assigned ethnic lane.

7. Says “democracy” with the same facial expression most Christians reserve for “prosperity gospel.”

8. Believes women voting was the beginning of the end, yet spends six hours a day arguing with women on a platform owned by Elon Musk.

9. Hates Neil Shenvi with the fire of a thousand suns for the unforgivable crime of being conservative, Christian, intelligent, somewhat brown, and insufficiently interested in becoming a 14th-century warlord.

10. Borrowed identity politics wholesale from the left, changed the villain, and crowned the white male the new most-oppressed demographic.

Thus is the word “patriot” soiled, along with our passports.

@BackwardsFeet Didn’t notice that yesterday, but that is a dumb choice

I'm kind-of obsessed with CS Lewis's final Narnia book, The Last Battle, as a picture of right-wing evangelicalism right now. a donkey is dressed up in the skin of a lion—by an ape who wants power—to convince people that he's Aslan. it's a poor disguise, but the masses buy it.

@jaynordlinger Can attest first hand to the veracity of the caption on your article’s photo

@DavidAFrench Amen!

@Joeinblack Radical mercy. I think we could use more of that these days too

I also see Catholics writing books, articles, emails, and making music with AI. Their productivity and sales have gone up. They appear more talented than they were before. But if I know, I will not buy. The consequences of using AI in this way are going to be devastating long term but also in the short term. The work of real artists has been rendered almost meaningless in the eyes of many in the span of a year.

This is petty, stupid, and beneath the dignity of the United States. The Trump administration makes America look like a petulant little fiefdom rather than a great and good power. Embarrassing. https://t.co/b8WdYhpoy8

This "large scale social deception" contract was:

* first awarded under Trump
* paid to Reuters' data division, not the newsroom
* for researching *defenses* against deception
* not revealed by "DOGE investigations"; was a public record, visible online for many years

@Joeinblack You got it

The constant conflict is the point. To be a big boss, you have to have enemies. You have to tell your followers that only you can protect them. If they don't exist, or are weak, create them, pretend they are strong.

When you're so convinced by your own election conspiracy theories that you can't even figure out how or why your preferred candidate won.

@KeytarCatholic Feel like Anders Osborne was feeling a similar vibe when he wrote the song 47

@KeytarCatholic I don’t necessarily disagree but you just felt like starting something today didn’t you? 🤣
