"The MAGA claim that white Christians in the United States and Europe are engaged in an existential fight to protect their superior race from being overwhelmed by inferior racial stocks has roots in the U.S. that reach all the way back to the fears of white southerners in the 1850s" (continued in /7)

"The coercive powers of the state would be mobilized to curtail the rights of those who dare to deviate and entrench a tiered system of participation defined by hierarchies of race, gender, religion, wealth, and ancestry. A segregationist policy would restore white male dominance in elite institutions as well as across all spheres of American life."

"Donald Trump pursues a political project for which white nationalism serves as an organizing principle. ...
The Trumpists desire to drastically narrow the boundaries of who gets to belong, they seek to purge all others from the 'homeland.' Those who are left would be living in a society that is not only unequal but has ostracized egalitarian aspirations as heresy."

"and to fight instead for white Christian male supremacy at home and in the world. ...
That is true for Donald Trump himself also. He is not just a grumpy old man indulging in racist stereotypes, but a politician committed to a worldview shaped and organized by racism and white supremacy. What is on display here is not just personal bigotry."

"They are tied to a much broader rightwing attempt to reconceptualize national identity and drastically narrow the boundaries of who gets to belong. They are actualizations of the Right’s defining project: To roll back any progress towards egalitarian pluralism, to vanquish the very idea that America should aspire to be a nation defined by equal citizenship in a pluralistic, multiracial society," (continued in /4)

The NSS document tries to bully Europe into adopting MAGA notions of white supremacy and Christian nationalism as guiding principles. Zimmer says,
"These aren’t just a few racist outbursts or isolated escalations. These are not separate policy initiatives. These are manifestations of a worldview defined by white nationalism as its organizing principle."

"AN OFFICIAL U.S. MILITARY social media account on Monday shared a photo collage that included a symbol long affiliated with extremist groups — and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
In a post on X trumpeting the deployment of troops to the Caribbean, U.S. Southern Command, or SOUTHCOM, shared an image that prominently displayed a so-called Jerusalem cross on the helmet of a masked commando."

"Robinson, who is affiliated with the U.K. branch of Charlie Kirk’s political organization Turning Point, has been supported in previous efforts by far-right figures like Steve Bannon and Elon Musk.
The Church of England responded to Robinson’s planned rally with a poster campaign featuring an immigrant holy family in a bus stop and phrases like 'Christ has always been in Christmas,' 'Christmas started with love,' and 'Outsiders welcome.'”
"Churches in England are trying to save Christmas from Christian Nationalists. Far-right Islamophobic political activist Tommy Robinson is planning a rally in London on Saturday called 'Putting the Christ Back into Christmas.'”

Weekly Roundup: Dec. 12
Here’s the weekly roundup from A Public Witness. This week, we published our list of favorite books of the year and an exclusive report on the first prayer service at the U.S.Word&Way (A Public Witness)
"Now is the time to build the movement that not only says, 'No' to extremism but also says, 'Yes' to the work of building a political economy where everyone can thrive.
This week offers more concrete evidence that we can build a moral fusion coalition for that work anywhere."
"The moral collapse that we have witnessed under the Trump regime has been excruciating, outrageous, and exhausting. The damage is real, and it demands mourning, accountability, and work toward a viable alternative. But this level of collapse also reveals the possibility for a Third Reconstruction."
~ William J. Barber and Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove

"In Donald Trump’s America and Viktor Orbán’s Hungary, this project has furnished a spurious religious underpinning to a politics of authoritarian power and exclusion.
Nothing could be further from the spirit of St Paul when he asserts: 'There is neither Jew nor Greek; there is neither slave nor free; nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.'”

"An ethnocentric politics legitimising xenophobia, cultural exclusivism and indiscriminate deportations is fundamentally unchristian, as the late Pope Francis repeatedly underlined. ...
In its various guises, the contemporary far right is seeking to transform Christianity into a vehicle for cultural and ethnic supremacism, exploiting and corrupting desires for meaning and belonging."

The Guardian view on far-right perversions of the Christmas message: promoting a gospel of hate
Editorial: A Tommy Robinson-inspired carol service is the latest sign of a burgeoning Christian nationalist movement. The Church of England is right to push backEditorial (The Guardian)
"There’s perhaps no better way to understand the contemporary anti-liberal project than as a return to the pre-liberal trauma of the wars of religion, in the worst of which a third of the population was killed. And there may be no better way to illuminate the liberal project conservatives wish to destroy than by recalling how it emerged out of healing from that trauma."

"Over the last ten or fifteen years, many of us have learned what many others already knew their whole lives: That our systems and institutions largely serve to promote and defend supremacy of wealth, of certain religions, of certain races and sexual orientations and gender identities, of maleness, of the able-bodied and employed and employable people."
