“Race and money got people into politics” - talking about in the 70s how christian schools were no longer tax exempt if they continued segregation. interesting thesis, that christian nationalists, or conservative political activism, were the primary organisers of jan 6, not sure that i entirely agree, me placing political views above that but intertwined of course. i do think it is important to look at it from that prism, but in a wider context, which it tries but i believe has some of the zeal it is purporting against.. perhaps. i think if america were to become a fascist state that religiosity would be a part of its make up but not its overarching coherence, but instead it has kind of latched onto and shares the same values of intolerance, and the same history of course.. though when you look at the numbers and its up to 40% of the us as fundamentalist, hence roe. i think the pro-life movement is representative of an active contingent rallying Christianity in america, whereas gerrymandering is a more encompassing politically active right movement. And of course theres the package nexus of military, state, man, god, race, ability etc. interesting stat from this 15% from a poll were full christian nationalists. ooph and theres a media group called salem… on the nose…on the other hand, it was interesting to see christian conservative commentators interviewed in this documentary being critical despite their histories.. a bit like excult members that still believe in the spaghetti monster but were out of the organisation. bit of a ramble.. good doc though. i have requested links.
