Don’t use “Christian Nationalists”.

Instead, say “Nationalist Christians”.

Or “Nat-C”, for short.

@dgar Here in the USA I've long wondered if the religious label or the political label should go first. A lot of people don't really think there is much difference between the two, and don't think about which one is driving the other, and that is troubling to me.
Political news/influencer voices often lean into this gray area and use that to cement trust and viewing loyalship. (sorry making up words.)
We pretty much believe anything said by the voices we trust ... especially those things said in a serious tone. (and I'm posting this in a serious tone in case anyone here trusts me ... which is something you may want to reconsider!) :-)

@clolsonus @dgar that was my thought too... The order is pretty irrelevant to me.

Such a large part of Christianity feels to be mainly political in nature.

Christo-fascists is my term of choice. Of course, calling a spade a spade and a Nazi a Nazi is also right.

@clolsonus @dgar

I follow American and German politics and wrt religion it's quite different over there

AfD and radical Christians: An alliance of convenience?

The radical right in Germany, Europe and the US portrays itself as the defender of the Christian West against Islam. But religion is not really at the heart of this conflict.
