Thank you, Dr. Morale. 😡
“Jeff Sharlet, a leading scholar of Christian nationalism and author of The Undertow: Scenes from a Slow Civil War, has described Pete Hegseth as a clear, self-identified Christian nationalist whose ideology is explicitly militarized and apocalyptic, not just culturally conservative. Sharlet emphasizes that Hegseth’s own writings and symbols reveal a project of holy war within the United States, not merely a defense of traditional values.” - Constitutional Crisis Alert

today’s #AltTxt #yaddayadda with a slight correction:
❝ Pete Hegseth isn’t just a christian nationalist, he’s far to the theological right of anybody even close to national power in modern history. Ted Cruz is Ned Flanders next to Hegseth. I’ve been reporting on the christian right for 20+ years. this isn’t just “another one”. this is new & worse.
―Jeff Shartlet, author of “The Family” and “The Undertow” ❞
Hegseth’s nazism is new & worse because it isn’t theocentric in the christian sense…🧵
