"Today’s white Christian nationalists, who along with Trump scream about persecution, are part of a long tradition. ...

Those who study white evangelical Christian movements are not surprised by how disconnected their attitudes are from political reality and the policies currently on display."

Joy-Ann Reid and Robert P. Jones discuss the contest in Texas between Jasmine Crockett and James Talarico, two self-professed Christians challenging white Christian nationalism, but with different emphases — Crockett more as the prophet and Talarico more as the priest.

"This has become their theology and they're alone in that theology."

Robert P. Jones replies:

"It's really plain that what we're seeing today is a battle for the soul of white Christianity in this country. I can just not say it any plainer than that. It's not actually new, but it has come to a head under Trump. Trump has really brought it back to the fore."

"This has become the foundational base of white Christianity, of white Christian nationalism, I should say, because white Christians are alone in the belief, what I just told you, that there should simply be fewer non-white people in America, that the non-white population must be reduced to as low as possible so that white Christians prevail."

"Donald Trump came to power by successfully joining this so-called 'Christian nationalism' with the reactionary fears of the Tea Party insurgency and the greed of emerging techno-feudalists. The MAGA coalition that made Donald Trump president would never have gained power without the religious nationalist movement that markets the GOP as 'God’s Own Party.'”

Asked about Pope Leo's refusal to join Trump's "Board of Peace," his press secretary Karoline Leavitt, educated from grade school through college in Catholic schools and known for wearing an ostentatious cross while prevaricating boldly, stated,

"It’s deeply unfortunate. I don’t think that peace should be partisan, or political, or controversial."

"For half a century in American public life, a political force has attempted to use Christian faith and 'traditional values' to turn back the gains of the 20th century’s civil and human rights movements."

"The alleged censorship of Talarico’s interview suggests a dangerous attack on both free expression and religious pluralism. The Christian nationalist agenda advocates against a diversity of Christian experience, contradicting and threatening kindness and justice as key tenets of our faith."

"A Presbyterian seminarian, Talarico has gained national attention for using his theological background to criticize Chrisian nationalism, condemning it as a 'betrayal of Jesus of Nazareth,' because it 'worships power in the name of Christ.' Talarico urges MAGA to look at themselves and realize that chasing power at all costs is wrong."

"They also overlook that Trump’s ICE is throwing senior citizens to the pavement, dragging people from their cars, and breaking into homes without a search warrant. They don’t care that his agents are murdering peaceful US protestors and Venezuelans in fishing boats that cannot, due to size and distance, make it to US shores and therefore cannot be posing a direct threat."

"Taking on Trump’s far right base, Talarico rails about the shameful gulf between the teachings of Christ and the suffering Trump is inflicting on the nation and the world.

Talarico notes that MAGA, while hewing to a self-proclaimed Christian identity, doesn’t seem to mind that Trump is building concentration camps to cage people who haven’t committed a crime."

"Talarico, a Texas State Representative, is a deeply religious Democratic lawmaker making waves by pointing out MAGA’s religious hypocrisy. Exceedingly clean cut, he looks like a southern Baptist preacher, but he sounds like a true man of faith. And he has zero patience for golden calf worshippers."
