"Christian Nationalism is a dangerous ideology that distorts the Gospel and turns Jesus and Christianity into a weapon for power and division instead of a movement towards love and justice. It demands that a particular brand of Christianity be privileged by the state and impose that singular belief system in order to be a 'good American.'”

"Instead, this order aligns the federal government with Christian Nationalism, a dangerous conflation of fundamentalist Christianity, conservative politics, and fierce patriotism that distorts what it means to be an American citizen and an engaged Christian in society."

"While some might think that all Christians would support an effort to root out 'anti-Christian bias,' that’s not the case. We believe this executive order is a threat to the religious pluralism enshrined in the Constitution and does not actually protect Christians."

The Lutheran(ELCA) bishops of Wisconsin speak:
"We, the Lutheran (ELCA) bishops in Wisconsin and Upper Michigan, are concerned about an executive order signed by President Trump on Feb. 6 that established a new 'Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias.' This task force has the duty to 'identify any unlawful anti-Christian policies, practices, or conduct by an agency.'"

#UmbertoEco’s List of the 14 Common Features of #Fascism
in History, Literature, Politics | November 1st, 2024
"While Eco is firm in claiming “There was only one Nazism,” he says, “the fascist game can be played in many forms, and the name of the game does not change.” Eco reduces the qualities of what he calls “Ur-Fascism, or Eternal Fascism” down to 14 “typical” features. “These features,” writes the novelist and semiotician, “cannot be organized into a system; many of them contradict each other, and are also typical of other kinds of despotism or fanaticism. But it is enough that one of them be present to allow fascism to coagulate around it.”
1. The cult of tradition. “One has only to look at the syllabus of every fascist movement to find the major traditionalist thinkers. The Nazi gnosis was nourished by traditionalist, syncretistic, occult elements.”
2. The rejection of modernism. “The Enlightenment, the Age of Reason, is seen as the beginning of modern depravity. In this sense Ur-Fascism can be defined as irrationalism.”
3. The cult of action for action’s sake. “Action being beautiful in itself, it must be taken before, or without, any previous reflection. Thinking is a form of emasculation.”
4. Disagreement is treason. “The critical spirit makes distinctions, and to distinguish is a sign of modernism. In modern culture the scientific community praises disagreement as a way to improve knowledge.”
5. Fear of difference. “The first appeal of a fascist or prematurely fascist movement is an appeal against the intruders. Thus Ur-Fascism is racist by definition.”
6. Appeal to social frustration. “One of the most typical features of the historical fascism was the appeal to a frustrated middle class, a class suffering from an economic crisis or feelings of political humiliation, and frightened by the pressure of lower social groups.”
7. The obsession with a plot. “Thus at the root of the Ur-Fascist psychology there is the obsession with a plot, possibly an international one. The followers must feel besieged.”
8. The enemy is both strong and weak. “By a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.”
9. Pacifism is trafficking with the enemy. “For Ur-Fascism there is no struggle for life but, rather, life is lived for struggle.”
10. Contempt for the weak. “Elitism is a typical aspect of any reactionary ideology.”
11. Everybody is educated to become a hero. “In Ur-Fascist ideology, heroism is the norm. This cult of heroism is strictly linked with the cult of death.”
12. Machismo and weaponry. “Machismo implies both disdain for women and intolerance and condemnation of nonstandard sexual habits, from chastity to homosexuality.”
13. Selective populism. “There is in our future a TV or Internet populism, in which the emotional response of a selected group of citizens can be presented and accepted as the Voice of the People.”
14. Ur-Fascism speaks Newspeak. “All the Nazi or Fascist schoolbooks made use of an impoverished vocabulary, and an elementary syntax, in order to limit the instruments for complex and critical reasoning.”

When Timothy Snyder speaks, I listen. Today, he outlines how Trump's nomination of Pete Hegseth represents 13 steps to national destruction. Here's the posting in toto:

Jeff Sharlet on mainstream media's negligence in covering Hegseth's nomination:
"I began my journalism career covering courts-martial in San Diego, and I’ve reported on Christian nationalism within the armed forces. But I’m not a military reporter. This isn’t my beat. This isn’t my story. But I can read. And that’s where I start, when I want to understand the thinking of someone who’s written—or, who knows, put their name on the cover of—a book. [The book referred to here is The War on Warriors: Behind the Betrayal of the Men Who Keep Us Free] The Times quotes one of the book’s first pages, too, and then none of the jaw-dropping, civil war fantasy rhetoric that fills what follows. The Washington Post quotes nothing. CNN wonders whether he has sufficient administrative experience. (Is 'none' sufficient?) Politico worries what the lobbyists will think."

Meet Pete Hegseth, the Man Who Will Lead the Entire US Military — A Man Deemed an 'Extremist' by the US Military
On Tuesday, Trump announced Fox News talking head Pete Hegseth as his new secretary of defense. The guy in the image above. It's not a parody; it's from the cover of his 2020 book, American Crusade.Religion Dispatches
"In 2018, Hegseth’s remarks during a speech in Israel included references to a 'miracle' that would allow for the re-establishment of the Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount—a sacred site for both Muslims and Jews. This sentiment aligns with a faction of Christian Zionist thought that envisions the fulfilment of Biblical prophecy through the destruction of Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem to make way for a third Jewish Temple. The ideology has been criticised as an extreme apocalyptic fantasy that endangers the fragile religious dynamics in the region and underpins an acceptance of reported Israeli human rights violations."

Trump’s nomination of Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense fuels concerns following ties to Christian nationalist extremism - AOAV
Donald Trump’s nomination of Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense has sparked controversy due to Hegseth’s connections to Christian nationalist ideologies, including Reformed Reconstructionism and Christian Zionism, raising concerns about the potenti…Iain Overton (Action on Armed Violence)
"Last year, the magazine Nashville Christian Family ran a profile of Hegseth, in which he mentioned being a member of a 'Bible and book study' that focused on the book My Life for Yours by Doug Wilson, the 71-year-old unofficial patriarch of the TheoBros. Patriarch is the right word: When I interviewed Wilson a few months ago, he said that he, like many other TheoBros, believes women never should have been given the right to vote."

"Hegseth’s tattoos, political views and religious affiliation and background are consistent with an extreme strain of Christian nationalism, according to Matthew Taylor, a scholar at the Institute for Islamic, Christian, & Jewish Studies. Specifically, he appears to be belong to a fringe denomination known as Reformed Reconstructionism, which believes in applying biblical Christian law to society, exclusively male leadership, and actively preparing the world for the prophesied return of Jesus."

On Pete Hegseth's tattoos:
"Deus vult is the Latin for 'God wills it.' During the First Crusade, it was raised as a battle cry. This is its univocal origin and context, and Hegseth knows it well: In American Crusade, he refers to it as 'the rallying cry of Christian knights as they marched to Jerusalem,' a summons to 'followers of Christ to take up the sword in defense of their faith, their families, and their freedom.' It provides the last words in American Crusade: 'See you on the battlefield. Together, with God’s help, we will save America. Deus vult!' And have I mentioned that his book is titled American Crusade?"
