Christian nationalism already promotes a dangerously exclusionary vision of the US as a fundamentally “Christian” nation. Their rhetoric thrives on militaristic imagery and language, framing political or cultural conflicts not as societal problems we should all try to solve, but as “spiritual warfare.” Constant flex-talk desensitizes followers to the use of violence in defense of their beliefs; because after all, they’re on God’s side and you’re not. So how could God not approve?
