What we’re seeing with Kanye West and Nick Fuentes is the beginnings of what could become a multi-racial Christianist coalition organized around antisemitism.

While we might want to dismiss what we’re seeing as “crazy,” I suggest we take it seriously and monitor it closely.

As we saw with Trumpism, people—by which I mean human beings regardless of political views—are drawn to spectacle.

What’s happening is very, very dangerous.

@leahmcelrath this dangerous movement can be called religious nationalism or antisemitism or pseudo-religious garbage or “Trumpvangelicalism”. But can we agree that calling it “Christianist” gives these hateful extremists the impression that they are on God’s side. Jesus Christ, a Jewish rabbi who rejected empire; uplifted the marginalized (disabled, the poor, and women); and went after religious hypocrites has nothing in common with national chauvinism.
