"they want that more than anything, because it heralds the Second Coming. The Rapture is so close, they can taste it. The last thing we want to do is give these crackpots free rein."

"And that’s the problem when individuals with real power—folks like Peter Thiel and Pete Hegseth, Mike Huckabee and Mike Johnson—genuinely believe in this Apocalypse claptrap; they have some ability to see the prophecies fulfilled. True Believers have a vested interest in there being a gigantic war in the Middle East, where Russia and Iran and the Arab States invade Israel;" (continued in /3)

"Do you support internment camps for undocumented immigrants where they should be rounded up until they can be deported? Even when we put that language into a question, we've got a majority of Republicans [and white evangelicals] now saying, yeah, I'm down with that."

"And this is the America that we're living in, that we literally are having internment camps. And we've polled on this. And what we're finding is that, again, it's a majority of Republicans and a super majority of white evangelical Christians who actually, even when we say to them, internment camps," (continued in /37)

Then Robbie adds:

"The big, beautiful bill, let's just make sure everybody remembers, has got money already in it for like $50,000 plus beds at internment camps that they're already trying to open all over the country, probably one coming to an abandoned warehouse near you."

Robbie replies:

"Well, you know, I do tend to use those words all together, right? White Christian nationalism, because that really is the only way to understand what it is in our context, right? Now, there is religious nationalism in other parts of the world, but in America—our issue is white Christian nationalism."

" Within Democratic circles, mainstream circles, corporate media circles, they are averse to using the word white Christian nationalism because, number one, they don't want to piss off Christians. And number two, they don't want to piss off white. I say, no, no, no. The data says that this is a white Christian nationalist problem."

The two leading religion reporters at New York Times refuse even to use the term "Christian nationalism." Lots of establishment Democrats want to ignore the religious and racial roots of Trump's support and to suppress this discussion.

Wajahat says:

"Robbie, you know that you and I get backlash. So like, no, no, don't say Christian nationalism, say religious nationalism."

PRRI president Robert P. Jones talks with Wajahat Ali about how we are all "now reaping the consequences of the unwillingness of our senators to recognize the dangers of Hegseth’s Christian nationalism."

Wajahat starts by pointing out how the powers that be want to shut up discussion of white Christian nationalism.
