"At the heart of fascism and authoritarianism and capitalism itself is an obsession with hurting children.

We tell ourselves an incredibly comforting story in the United States of America. Children are our future. Our greatest resource. You’ll hear politicians from both sides of the aisle say as much."

~ Jared Yates Sexton

"The sin and stain of racism within white Christian nationalism is but another piece of rotten fruit from a long-diseased tree. It is in this history that we see how white supremacy is—and always has been—intimately intertwined with idolizing power, fear, and violence in the calls to make the United States a Christian nation."

"That's the white Christian nationalist aspect of it. With the Technobros and Curtis Yarvin, they believe democracy is incompatible with capitalism. As such, you need a type of techno-feudal system, a techno-fascism, where the council of these brilliant white men will choose their puppet leader."

"Notice they always go to Christian and not Jesus. They're not believers in anything Jesus said. In fact, in many of their churches, you can't quote Jesus because he's too woke for them. But this sort of Christian nationalist, techno feudalist, small number of Uber CEO men that will run the country, it's a problem."

"White Christian nationalism ... is a mix, a blend of tech bro feudalism, techno feudalism, which is where these tech CEOs want to rule the country, and this theobro feudalism,feudalism, where these theobros want to have a white Christian nationalist country. ...

MAGA is a religion. It's not a political ideology. It's a religious ideology."

"Instead of a prayer breakfast, it was a political branding exercise with hymnals.

The question hanging over the waffles and amens is unavoidable: What does it say about American Christianity that so many of its leaders are willing to call this 'faith'?"

"Instead, it makes them perversely grateful that he’s doing it so their hands can be clean.

None of this, it should probably go without saying, is compatible in the slightest with the teachings of actual Christianity."

"Trump’s political project is seen by the MAGA faithful as utterly righteous, the work of God on earth against the forces of Satan. But he has broad license to transgress all moral boundaries as he does that work. When he does so, it doesn’t cause MAGA Christians to reevaluate whether he’s actually on the side of the angels."

“'I really think I probably should make it,' he said. 'I mean, I’m not a perfect candidate, but I did a hell of a lot of good for perfect people.' ...

It’d be hard to come up with a better formulation of Trump’s attitude toward American evangelicalism, its attitude toward him, and why their partnership has become so dangerous for the country."

"Surrounded by spiritual leaders, political sycophants, and the spiritual leaders who are his biggest political sycophants, Trump offered the clearest formulation yet of his own bespoke soteriology. Don’t worry, he reassured the audience: He’d been mostly kidding when he said he wasn’t heaven-bound."
