Melissa Gira Grant: Honestly I feel deflated seeing the response to “depiction of white Christian nationalism ascendant” be cracks about inbreeding, or glee at concentrating these people in rural communities so they can eat their own

like I would rather scroll thru 20 to 30 more screenshots of posts of screenshots of grainy scanned wire service stories out of austria from 1923 over this

I was in the south recently and any Yankee who refuses to acknowledge the huge numbers of leftists, minorities, and others desperately yearning for freedom from the yoke of nazi creeps like these people has their head up their ass.

It’s so grim—ignores the organizing those people are already doing and what they may actually want and need and for what? Just superiority shit.

The Idaho Hispanic population has doubled in the past twenty years. There are a quarter million, mostly children and teens, who will be affected by white christian nationalislm www.boisestatepublicradio.org/news/2024-02...

Hispanic population in Idaho is young and growing, latest report showswww.boisestatepublicradio.org A new report released by the Idaho Commission of Hispanic Affairs shows Hispanics in the state are younger than non-hispanics and their population is growing at a higher rate.

Joel Osteen and John Hagee and their ilk, and their wealthy urbanite/suburbanite congregations, are the biggest danger after individual plutocrats like Leonard Leo the “Try That In a Small Town” bullshit is grift promulgated by the vultures screwing over the small towns

I think it comes from a place of feeling powerless and not knowing how one could ever “convert” or “deprogram” white Christian nationalists, so all that’s left is hoping they suffer the consequences of their own actions.

Okay but you're doing splash damage to people from poor rural backgrounds like me

Thank you!

Totally agree, not excusing the behavior, just trying to explain it.

That's fair!

People in the rural communities know these ppl can't be "converted or deprogrammed" so they organize ppl who aren't Christian nationalists

Right, but I think the point of some Yankee/non-rural folks is that they don't ever see there being a viable majority of folks who aren't white Christian nationalists, so they cope poorly with bad jokes and give on those areas.
