It is rather funny how this entire film exposes Stephen Ujlaki's ignorance of how PEACE is derived among mankind. HINT: it's not democracy. Democracy is what has created this ugly binary of competing horror we enjoy today and marginalizes those intellectual heirs of America who DO understand where peace comes from.
Yes, a powerful force of christian nationalism is indeed a threat, but not TO "democracy" but BECAUSE OF democracy. A democracy that wields power it SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAD. (see America's Counter-Revolution: The Constitution Revisited by Sheldon Richman) If one wanted to end this threat by christian nationalism, one must look seriously at WHY democracy enables it, but this film looks PAST that fact.
This film could have proposed the cure to their stated problem by proposing the US initiate and pass a Separation of State & Economy amendment which would instantly close the loophole, not just for christian nationalism, but authoritarian nationalism of ANY FLAVOR, and this government would become limited to its original intent - the objective protection of individual rights of every single individual. The entire industry of political lobbying and political news-making would be permanently sidelined because there is no central authoritative power to be bought or brokered.
Imagine that - no centralized bully in DC or state capitols. A scary thought indeed. Now that is a documentary this creator should take up next!

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.

And that is where the problem lies. Reasoning skills and critical thought. The American education system needs an overhaul of full thought intervention. Children need to learn empathy, reasoning skills, and how to detect lie from truth.
This documentary sheds a lot of light on the Christian Nationalist infiltration of the republican party. How it continues to mold those who cannot/will not pull themselves back and view the world in a different lens.
I especially enjoyed seeing the Christians of our country truely following the word of Jesus condemn and shame those with manipulative intent to gain power and suppression through their very own religion.
This documentary is one that should be spoken and watched with family members and friends who are stuck in that right wing thought tunnel.

While I am one of the people who already knew a lot of this stuff (and the reels and reels of information they had to cut I guess for brevity's sake like Barry Goldwater's role in The Southern Strategy and how Reagan expanded it) this documentary needs to be seen by everyone.
In fact I found it strange that they also didn't mention Project 2025 which is widespread and available for everyone to see, just go to the website to witness the Christian Nationalist terror OPENLY afoot. As of today mainstream media is talking about how Trump Republicans want complete control of the government which is not how our US government is meant to work. We have established checks and balances for a reason, every 10th grader who passed World Civ should know that.
There's no conspiracy theories here just for information on just how far back this stretches with the Moral Majority in the 70s and 80s. If anything, pertinent information is missing.

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.
