Old-school Christian nationalismâs avatar of racism, antisemitism and conspiracies
The early version of Christian nationalism turned the fear of communism into an excuse to embrace prejudice and forfeit American democracy.
The Rev. Gerald L.K. Smith loved Jesus so much he built a seven-story statue on the top of an Ozark mountain to honor his savior.
Smith loved America, too, but despised many of his fellow Americans. Especially those who were Black, Jewish or immigrants.
An ordained Disciples of Christ pastor, master showman, skilled fundraiser, prolific writer and âminister of hate ,â Smith spent decades warning white Christians that they were in danger of losing their country to devious forces conspiring against them.
To combat those forces, Smith founded a political party, ran for U.S. Senate and churned out tens of thousands of copies of The Cross and the Flag , a monthly magazine dedicated to the cause of Christian nationalism.
For Smith, that work was defined not by Jesus or the Constitution. His main concern was preserving Christian power and what he called âtraditional Americanism.â (...)
For hard-core Christian nationalists, new and old, the enemies list has often included Jews, Black Americans, immigrants and progressives, often labeled as Marxists.
âOne of the key parallels is an us-versus-them mentality where we have to circle the wagons because we are being attacked,â said Whitehead. âAnd the only way to survive is to fight back to take control and gain power.â (...)

Nope, they officially invoke the new paradigm. Some call it wokeness. But it has some upsides for the majority of people, or so it seems.
