"Mr. Trump didn't just happen to America. He was elected, twice – the second time after attempting a coup. That alone should tell us that something fundamental has changed in American society, that it is so broken that one half of it could knowingly put a degenerate lunatic in the White House just to spite the other half." ~ Andrew Coyne #Trump #Republicans #MAGA #corruption #WhiteChristianNationalism #WhiteSupremacy #cruelty #immigrants /1 https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-trump-may-be-temporary-the-damage-he-is-doing-isnt/

Writing as a self-declared "Jewish atheist," Paul Waldman says, "The more radical Republicans get, the more Democrats have an opportunity to persuade the religious people who are growing alienated from the GOP." #Trump #Republicans #MAGA #WhiteChristianNationalism #JamesTalarico /1 https://paulwaldman.substack.com/p/democrats-need-religious-candidates

"So even if you don’t share the faith of candidates like Beshear and Talarico, or their visible piety makes you a little uncomfortable, don’t forget that Christian nationalism is a growing threat, and fighting it is going to require the help of a lot of Christians." #Trump #Republicans #MAGA #WhiteChristianNationalism #JamesTalarico /2

Jennifer Rubin states: "Those willing to call out with humor and humanity the toxicity of white Christian nationalism deserve the gratitude of all Americans." She quotes Sen. Raphael Warnock, an ordained minister: “The biggest adversary to Christian faith is people who speak in the name of Christianity but continue to behave in ways and support policies that are decidedly anti-Christian." #Trump #Republicans #MAGA #WhiteChristianNationalism /3 https://contrarian.substack.com/p/undaunted-in-denouncing-religious

"So, I’ll be taking my cues from Jesus, and not Donald Trump. It is the American Christian slavocracy that is the biggest enemy of Christianity. It is the segregationist who opposed Martin Luther King, Jr. and his movement in the name of faith. The folks who are so quick to use his name are some of the meanest people I know, and they support some of the meanest policies I know." #Trump #Republicans #MAGA #WhiteChristianNationalism /4

"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." ~ Sabrina Haake #Trump #Republicans #MAGA #WhiteChristianNationalism #JamesTalarico /5 https://sabrinahaake.substack.com/p/why-are-republicans-so-afraid-of

"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." #Trump #Republicans #MAGA #WhiteChristianNationalism #JamesTalarico /6

"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." #Trump #Republicans #MAGA #WhiteChristianNationalism #JamesTalarico /7

"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." #Trump #Republicans #MAGA #WhiteChristianNationalism #JamesTalarico /8

"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." ~ Mary Ann Montgomery #Trump #Republicans #MAGA #WhiteChristianNationalism #JamesTalarico /9 https://theoverreachmonitor.substack.com/p/overreach-weekly-the-religious-right

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." #Trump #PopeLeo #KarolineLeavitt #MAGA #WhiteChristianNationalism /10 https://www.joemygod.com/2026/02/leavitt-rips-pope-for-declining-board-of-peace-invite/

"Of course, the administration wants all those who were invited to join the Board of Peace to join, because, again, the Board of Peace is overseeing the reconstruction of a territory that has been plagued with violence, with bloodshed, poverty for far too long. This president has a very bold and ambitious plan and vision to rebuild and reconstruct Gaza, which is well underway, because of the Board of Peace.” #Trump #PopeLeo #KarolineLeavitt #MAGA #WhiteChristianNationalism /11

"President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Pete Hegseth are stuck in the logic of escalation, according to which the feeling of defeat today can be reversed by doing the first thing that comes to mind tomorrow." ~ Timothy Snyder #Hegseth #Trump #Iran #war #incompetence #WhiteChristianNationalism #PerformativeMasculinity /3 https://snyder.substack.com/p/the-next-coup-attempt

"Trump is surrounded by people who are making money from the war; each day of war strengthens a warmongering lobby with personal access to the president. As the war lengthens, the chance that it will be exploited for a coup attempt increases." #Hegseth #Trump #Iran #war #incompetence #WhiteChristianNationalism #PerformativeMasculinity #EconomicElites #oil #gas #profiteering /4

"Pentagon staffers have reportedly begun referring to their big boss, Pete Hegseth, as Dumb McNamara, a reference to the Secretary of Defense under Lyndon Johnson who oversaw the disastrous U.S. war effort in Vietnam. Yes, that’s pretty bad, but it’s even worse." ~ Lucian K.

"He’s closer to Dumb Joe McCarthy, the right-wing Republican Senator who made his career chasing commies out of government – and everywhere else – during the 1950’s 'red scare.'” #Hegseth #Trump #Iran #war #incompetence #WhiteChristianNationalism #PerformativeMasculinity /6

"As for the removal now of Gen. George, a West Point graduate who served in combat roles dating back to the first Gulf War in 1991 and is the highest-ranking Army officer, it’s yet one more sign that the confederacy of dunces that surrounds Trump cares more about showcasing its bigotry than acting competently." ~ Steven Beschloss #Hegseth #Trump #Iran #war #incompetence #WhiteChristianNationalism #PerformativeMasculinity /7 https://www.americaamerica.news/p/how-much-do-you-value-expertise

"As one U.S. official said to Axios, 'Here is a four-star general who is actively working to get equipment and people into theater—to protect U.S. forces—and you fire him? In the middle of a war?'” #Hegseth #Trump #Iran #war #incompetence #WhiteChristianNationalism #PerformativeMasculinity /8

"His favourite term is 'lethality'; he loves telling the armed forces how 'lethal' they are. 'We are not defenders any more,' he announced gleefully. 'We are warriors: trained to kill the enemy and break their will.' (It might seem excessive to break their will after killing them, but why settle for half measures?)" ~ Steven Poole #Hegseth #Trump #Iran #war #incompetence #WhiteChristianNationalism #PerformativeMasculinity #lethality #violence #death /9 https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/apr/04/trump-using-dysphemism-language-against-iran
