We discuss the anti-democratic and reactionary nihilistic nature of the Christian nationalist movement. Christian nationalism is an ideology that functions as a tool for a leadership driven organization machine that turns mythology into political power.
Katherine’s civic action toolkit recommendations are:
-
Mobilize the pro-democracy majority
-
Stop purity testing
