I'm tired of your MAGA "Christian" B.S.

I'm tired of your MAGA "Christian" B.S.

For the last year and a half I’ve tried to explain, calmly, why Christian nationalism and creeping fascism scare me. Today’s Coffee Time is what happens when I stop sanding the edges off. If your faith is about protecting the vulnerable, I hope you’ll sit with this.

The Breakdown- The rot from the top.

So far this week, Trump attacked the Pope and posted AI “Jesus” fan art of himself, Pam Bondi ducked a subpoena on the Epstein files, and two members of Congress resigned over sexual misconduct, while Trump’s own name floods those same files. This Breakdown connects the dots on what that says about rot at the top.

The BreakDown: “Trump as Jesus” to “Stone Age” Threats

First, Trump’s spiritual adviser stood at the White House Easter podium and likened his life to Jesus—“no one has paid the price like you… you were betrayed and falsely accused… because He rose, you rose up.” Then came a primetime Iran address where he bragged about “winning big” and threatened to bomb every power plant in Iran, taking the country “back to the Stone Ages” if they don’t give him the deal he wants. And now, he’s on Truth Social telling Iran to “open the f***in’ Strait” or “you’ll be living in Hell… Praise be to Allah.” I break down how all of that fits together into a dangerous blend of Christian nationalism, personal grievance, and nuclear‑age brinkmanship. Don't forget to follow along for me.

Same‑Day Chit Chat: Birthright Citizenship at the Supreme Court

A quick same‑day reaction to the Supreme Court arguments on Trump’s attempt to narrow birthright citizenship. I walk through what birthright citizenship is, what Trump’s order would do, how Native history is being pulled into this, and why this fight is about more than “immigration paperwork.” It’s about who gets to redefine who counts as American. Full Substack breakdown coming soon.
