Bad Faith: Christian Nationalism's Unholy War on Democracy

Absolutely sick. Especially the end when Jan 6 occurred and the mother of Ashli Babbitt insurrectionist had the gall to say that Capitol Police murdered her. These were not peaceful protestors. They were armed and were threatening any government official attending an official government ceremony. Instead of mounting legal attacks, MAGA chose lethal attacks. Now we are stuck with an absolutist president. Absolutely sick, that Republican leaders chose to reject all common sense and glorify in the attack on Capitol Police and government employees who may never overcome their physical or mental injuries. Absolutely sick for Republican leaders and influencers to parrot the foul-mouthed cheeto puff who just conned people out of money, just so he can proclaim that he is rich. Trump squandered his father's money, like any other self-important, hedonistic rich kid. And Trump's "blessed" appointed government officials are just that. There is not a shred of decency or Christian piety that can be recognized. They lie behind the Cross, claiming that Republican morality is better than Democrat morality. I am expecting a sequel, especially on Pete Hegseth.

To quote Barry Goldwater, hardly a "liberal Democrat": "Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the (Republican) party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them."

And here we are, December 2024, a month away from the inauguration of the second non-consecutive term of a convicted felon who nearly half the country blindly support, millions even saying he was "sent by God." This infuriating but essential documentary explains how we got here. The seeds were planted in the post-Nixon mid 70s by John Bircher Dominionists like Paul Weyrich and Jerry Falwell, both of whom rose to political prominence under Reagan. The documentary fails to mention Jim Watt, who in addition to canceling the "bad influencers," the Beach Boys, from their annual July 4th National Mall concerts, was a devout Dominionist and hater of all things related to environmental protection. And now, the ghosts of these people (Falwell Sr., Weyrich, Watt, Reagan and also brimstone and hellfire nutjobs like Pat Robertson) are beaming from hell at the destruction a second Trump term is bound to unleash in Regime #2.

Republicans/MAGA blather on about "the Swamp" and "Deep State" in Washington. Christian Nationalism, which is really code for the KKK, and Evangelical Dominionism is the actual Deep State in Washington. The swamp is about to get deeper with zealots like Mike Johnson, who flies a Christian Nationalist flag (not an American flag) outside his office in the Capitol, leading the charge. Negative reviews from users are clearly from MAGAs and other snake oil believers who will not accept a separation of church and state in this country, as the Founding Fathers proclaimed. Boebert says that's "junk," so that ends that.

A staggering documentary that should have been streaming nonstop before the November 2024 Election. Welcome to Gilead, America.

I saw this thing on Facebook and then a lady recommended it so I started watching it on my break at work. I couldn't finish it until I got home. It did make me mad at first. It also proved my point about Donald Trump, his supporters and his backers. These people aren't Christians but they used Christ for their agendas which has nothing to do with Christ. Christ isn't about hate and fear! He's not about making you wealthy from lies and corruption! This documentary proves that these folks that follow trump doesn't care about truth or Christ! I believe that everybody should watch this because it proves that the same ideas of today are the same ideas from the past! The reason never changes just the people! The idea never changes just the people!

I have read a handful of books and over a dozen journal articles about Christian Nationalism and Dominion theology. This documentary is a really great representation of the scholarship. They have done a great job on the music, transitions, and in general, editing of this documentary.

This documentary will tell you about the history of Christian Nationalism. It is a movement with big money and run by a minority group of Christians who want America to be run their way. I highly recommend this documentary to anyone who is unfamiliar with Christian Nationalilsm, the Republican Party since the 1980s, and anyone who is generally interested in recent American history and/or politics.

Before you vote, you should watch this. The key to a functioning democracy is education and critical thinking skills. This video at least gives the viewer somewhere to start when preparing the basis for their electoral choices in the coming and all subsequent elections. While this movie may not replace what good Economics and Civics classes should be taught, it still provides enough information to allow the viewer what is afoot from certain quarters. I encourage EVERYONE to engage your curiosity to see what this is all about. I apologize for any and all redundancy in this review but the character minimum is driving that well after my point was made.
