We were taught to fear communism & socialism but Christian Nationalism wasn’t even on the radar. Genius.

They always said it would happen (communism,) from the left but even then the projection was real and subtle. Holy shit this has really been in development for decades!
-
Christian nationalism is healthy if you give it a try. It's way better than being a black trans woman all day.
-
"Christian Nationalism" has nothing to do with morals or faith. It is solely a political entity and nothing else.
The "Christian" part is to make them feel better when women bleed out and die in the parking lot from a spontaneous miscarriage. When denying healthcare is superior to providing it.
-
Not convinced they’re truly Christian’s. Far closer to Satanists really.
-
By design
-
For the most part so were we (UK) but difference was we had a full political spectrum, so even if socialism was under represented, it still had a voice (Benn, Scargill, Redgrave, etc.) Staggering thing about USA is how narrow your political spectrum has always been. Diversity totally shut out.
-
Anything with the word "Christian" in it is suppose to be good, right? 🙄
-
and.. is actually worse than the others
-
And now we are 2000% closer to what the chodes think communism is than we’ve ever been
-
It was on my radar
-
-
It was the 'Christians' that taught us to fear socialism. GD liars
-
Christians have been responsible for the torture, death and abuse of countless innocents and all in the name of their god and religion.
-
Yes. White Christian Nationalists are geniuses -- just like the Orange Anus. However, most paying attention saw the WCN's evolve since before Obama.
Ever heard of Charlottesville?
Most were taught to not fear socialism & communism but FASCISM. Don't know where MS Kohut was taught.
-
Not most peoples for sure.
-
There are genuine reasons to fear communism & some of the forms of socialism that have so far been put into practice. We need a socialism that doesn't put all the power in the hands of the government or give them the ability to control information like most socialist nations have done in the past.
-
Uh. . . Yes, it was. In my middle school history class call they were called Nazis.
-
It probably was, & those two were constantly promoted as bad because white is might w/racism mixed in it pushed the agenda on conquering the US western land grab & Native Americans were told No you cannot practice your spirituality, no living off land, no communities, no buffalo. Quarantined
-
is now
-
Exactly. We were all taught to fear the commies. Meanwhile, all religions/religious get a pass and can be weaponized and used against the masses. It's why religions exist. They are tools of oppression.
-
I remember when the military taught us to eliminate Nazis and Commies. Now they occupy the White House. All of those lives wasted fighting Fascism in WWII. Never did trust Evangelicals. They always preach poison and greed.
-
It was the Christian Nationalists “Christofascists” were the ones “teaching” us to fear communism and socialism. And that started during reconstruction to justify limiting poor (black) voters because they would vote for programs that would “take” money from the rich.
-
Christian Nationalism is the worst.
-
I taught myself to strongly dislike both extremes. There are pros and cons throughout history. We can learn from the successes and mistakes of the past, but we need to stop trying to make either socialism or fascism happen. They are NOT long-term solutions for everybody. WE NEED A NEW PARADIGM.
-
Christian nationalism was the founding fathers’ biggest fear, after the human carnage it left in its wake in Europe.
-
The Christian nationalists were the ones teaching others to fear the other two things
-
Genius is one word for it.
-
Amazing how many faces Christian Nationalism has …. Yet none of them seem to advocate protection for the poor, sick, disenfranchised, elderly, immigrants, the underpaid, pregnant women in foetal distress ….. it appears to currently only favour a tyrant trying to upend democracy for a dictatorship.
-
Some of us were raised by christofacists and have been screaming about it for most of our lives to anyone who would listen, only to be told that we hated Christians and had chips on our shoulders.
-
I thought the Jonestown tragedy did that.
-
The old testament was a deeply dark time. Bringing the ethos into general life? No thanks!
-
And it's the worst of all ideologies!!
-
Maybe when Christian Nationalists build gulags and laogai that industrialise mass murder of millions, you might have something real to fear, as opposed to your projections
Christian Nationalism is a political danger to America as it's a Zionist heresy that serves the interests of Israel
-
Haven't seen any Socialism. Fascism yesThis system subordinates individual businesses to the needs of the state, with the government dictating economic activities and setting prices and wages.
-
-
I was raised Catholic. As a result, I fear nearly all religious people. I know a few who can somehow remain decent, while still being religious, but not many.
-
Fear public education and housing!
Do not fear a lack of public education or housing!
-
Who do you think was teaching people to fear communism & socialism?
Hint; It rhymes with ghistian gastionalism
-
yah...i think today's evangelical aka christian nationalism aka christo fascism is far worse in scope and actions than it ever was in past...their importance is also amplified by fact that GOP/Trump must have them in nat'l voting block. So their fanatical medieval positions are now nat'l agenda. 😒
-
Christian nationalism is worse than anything else😂
-
25 years ago….we were warned.
-
We've spent years being taught that we had to 'respect' religious people no matter what nonsense they spouted.
-
Yep. Disgusting.
-
The Republican party in Total Control of Government. Went from “Christian” to Nazi Hitler right before our eyes. The very same people who tell us to fear Government & socialism, because it will lead to communism. #GOP
-
That's because they got it backwards we are not communist they are we are I guess a little socialist because we want everyone to do well not just 1% but we're talking about maga I swear to God they don't have a brain in their head who knows what they're saying it's a mystery
-
Federal law enforcement started calling out the domestic terrorism threat from white supremacists and nationalists back during the Obama administration. But Congress did nothing about it and the White House did nothing about it. And now here we are.
-
It was very much on the radar.
-
Lets face it we are brainwashed about everything, truth isn't what we are told, truth is buried under layers of lies, peel the onion.
-
Remember Nazi Germany? It was Christian.
-
Frank tried like hell to warn us about the fascist theocracy

Frank Zappa on CNN Crossfire 1986 - Fascist Theocracy

-
Because the Christian Nationalists were the ones telling us to fear everything else.
-
They’re actually the same now. Aren’t Christian Nationalists the ones who cozy up to Communist Russia, stop free trade, impose tariffs, hand out subsidies to farmers and nationalize semiconductor industries?
-
Communism Christian nationalism there is not muchdifference actually
-
Who do you think wanted us to fear communism and socialism?
-
I remember alarm bells going off when “Jesus Camp” was released and everyone said, “Geez those folks are batshit crazy. Good thing such an insane minority doesn’t have a chance of coming to power.” 🤔
-
Through my own encounters & experiences, I knew to fear religious extremism like Christian Nationalism, long before I read "The Handmaid's Tale".
-
The Nat C's
-
And who was yelling communism and socialism?
The Christian nationalists.
They just hadn’t perfected the formula, but they sure spent 2000 years working on it.
-
That’s because it was the Christian Nationalists/fascists spreading the fear of communism and socialism.
-
Sneaky bastards, aren't they?

Nor oligarchy

When I watched shiny happy people, I realized that when christian nationalists like the duggars were on tlc, I thought they were just rare/ odd folk—like the other shows tlc aired (e.g., hoarders, my 400 lb life)—I had no idea they were the foundation of a terrorist organization.
-
The Christian nationalists are the exact people who taught everyone to fear communism and socialism. The exact same.
-
Because, way back when, they were real Christian’s
-
Nazism was on the list. The whole "Christian Nationalism" thing is just rebranding by the corporate conspirators.
-
There’s nothing worse!
-
Back in the 60s, we had bomb drills at school in case the “reds” decided to nuke us. I guess insurrection drills would have been more helpful.
-
Much scarier than those other isms.
-
Christian Nationalism is white supremacy under the guise of Christianity.
-
Don’t feel bad, the original name for Christian Nationalists was Nazis,
-
It is now, so we’ll prepare to, and eliminate it🇺🇸⚖️🦅😉
-
Not everyone. My Father taught me about them. And he was right.
-
It was always on our Gaydar.
-
Many of us learned what christian love meant, the hard way, by hard, meaning the appearance of the parish priest, bishop, or Lutheran minister who serves as the regional outreach coordinator.
-
Because we were taught to fear communism and socialism BY Christian nationalists. Project 2025 has been in the makings since President Dwight D. Eisenhower and is now coming to fruition
-
Religion, especially christianity, has been trying for the last four to six centuries (depending on the experts estimation of how long the Abrahamic god has been around) to totally dominate the planet earth. There's no way they'd allow any warning of just how dangerous they are to take hold.
-
The current regime isn't Christian, they're exploiting Christians votes for power and greed. The Christians will be their next target, when Christians finally realize what's happening and turn on them.
-
Right wing ideologies are always protected from criticism.
Even most Dems fawn over capitalism.
-
Who did you think was telling us that?
-
Comrade Trump will change that.
-
They dont call it the facsist agenda for nothing,eh
-
That was their whole plan. The Christofascists have been building an army of brainwashed fundamentalists for decades. The HF and others played the long game behind the scenes. The GOP has been unconstitutionally enmeshed with the church for nearly 50 years. Some of us knew and we tried to warn you.
-
We didn't stress enough the whole freedom from religion thing when I grew up. Should have been a much bigger part of history class every year.
-
Yes it was, but not enough paid attention. Frank Zappa called it fascist theocracy.
-
It is the Christian Nationalists that hate communism.
Who also hate brown people
Who also hate smart people
Who fear god
They are a poison and a cancer
-
It is now.
-
yes it was....
-
The ideas have been around for a while - remember the movie Jesus Camp? That’s almost 20 years old. The formal educational system never teaches about it and media stays away from overt criticisms of the modern Christian revival - unless there’s a positive message (see Jesus Revolution on Netflix).
-
It has been on the radar for non religious persons our WHOLE lives! Just saying.
-
They have no idea about Christ because they are cold blooded and cruel.
-
Great point.
Why is that, I wonder. -
Those of us who knew couldn't say anything. No one would believe it. So time shows what was hidden all along. Now, come and fight. You know the enemy, and you know its weakness. It is easily mocked. Easily discounted. It will take work, but many hands and a song makes the day go faster.
-
It’s just plain fascism with a Christian label and believe me it’s just a label, they haven’t a clue about the teachings of Jesus, let alone follow them
-
Yeah. Let’s start using the language. Repeating shit seems to work. Christian Nationalism is neither Christian nor patriotic.
-
The funny thing is just how often it's nationalism.
George Orwell's "Notes on Nationalism" needs to be read, aloud and in unison, from here on out.
It's a quick read, dammit.

Notes on Nationalism | The Orwell Foundation
"By ‘nationalism’ I mean first of all the habit of assuming that human beings can be classified like insects and that whole blocks of millions or tens of millions of people can be confidently labelled...
-
The first rule of Christian Nationalism is: you do not talk about Christian Nationalism.
-
Been on my radar for decades. Just a nicer name for the KKK.
-
Meanwhile in 2025 people think guaranteed life-saving aide and support and food and clothing and employment is NOW CONSIDERED socialism. -_-
-
Some of us have been shouting for decades, but we lack amazing tits… so.
-
We were not taught that white supremacy and Christian Nationalism are the same thing.

Strictly it was. History. Inquisition.

For me, as a Jew, Christian Nationalists are terrifying. If they don’t want to force me to “see the light”, they want me and my whole family dead. Death threats on my phone; knocks on my door from those determined to convert us; hate speech everywhere we go. I repeat, terrifying!!!
-
It is a true privilege to have lived in America and not have Christian Nationalism on your radar.
-
Plenty of fascists are/were Christian nationalists. Hitler used it. Trump has never been one but uses them.
-
Coincidence requires a considerable amount of planning.
-
yeah WHO was telling us that... ?
-
The most genius move was to align communism and socialism so that it became synonymous. I live in a socialist country (germany) and have witnessed a communist country first-hand. I can tell you, those are not the same. On the other hand, there is not much difference between Theocracy and Fascism
-
Well, we were taught that “fascism” is bad; however, we also were taught that fascism meant gas chambers and not that Jim Crow is as far as most fascist governments got.
-
Christian Nationalist is an OXYMORON! Christ was not a Nationalist He serves the world that consists of a rainbow of colours across the Globe. This country is a Radar blip in the larger scheme of Heavens plan. It’s a huge show on the Hell radar.
-
The number of people who use communism and socialism interchangeably is fucking wild. they don't even understand what they are rallying against lol
-
Taught to fear by Republicans.
Democrat “FDR” taught us,
Freedom of speech and expression Freedom of worship Freedom from want Freedom from fear
for All Humans on Earth!
#DemocratsLead
-
We were taught lies. Socialism is the natural environment in which we evolved. All the rest of this shit (including patriarchy) was hung on the species when the concept of property was developed sometime around 12-15,000 yrs. ago.
-
I read The Handmaid’s Tale in high school in the 1980s.
-
Christian Nationalism is much worse than communism or socialism, bogeymen that I'm not sure really exist! But, we do have recorded history, documenting that many innocent people have died by the hand of Christians!
-
Nothing Christian about it
Just a mask for their hate
And a means to forceful EXPLOITATION & to REPRESS OPPRESS & SUPPRESS citizens
-
They aren’t Christian nationalists. They are mafia people who use Christianity because they’re organized crime. A lot of the time they are mafia Jews.
-
Communism shares poverty, socialism shares wealth. Capitalism shares nothing.
-
To be honest, I think the academic world—made up of people who are largely reasonable and educated—believed that WW2 would basically be enough to tell everyone that militant Nationalism of any kind of a bad idea. They didn't account for people being dumb and tolerating dumbness.
-
It was on the radar. Agnostics and atheists have been screaming about it for decades. No one would fucking listen.
-
That's because they were the ones who taught us to fear the GODLESS communists and socialists.
SQUIRREL!!!!!
-
WHITE CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM IS REALLY WHITE NATIONALISM ! They are Nazis ! They are Domestic terrorists who love cruelty ! LOVE CRUELTY! They have been in our government forever! They ignore facts! They make their own reality. There is nothing Christian about them ! They have their own Bible
-
Yall never watched Jesus Camp and it shows.
-
It was the Christian Nazis who were doin the teaching. Connect the dots from JFK, to Reagan, to 9/11, to COVID, to today. It's been a slow march into fascism. Little dose of poison that is killing the longer and We the People in this country. Wake up America. Revolution is the solution.
-
Yeah, according to history, they showed themselves during the Civil War, Cold War & the Civil Rights Movement. Their ideology seems to be a mix of Authoritarianism and Totalitarianism, but leaning more towards the latter.
They are The American Taliban taking over our govt is a seditious manner.
-
Every person who said to tax the churches, keep the church and state separate, keep the Bible out of schools and medical settings, find out wtf the FLDS are doing etc. had it on their radar.
