[sic] is such a fantastic passive aggressive burn

Like, I may not be published like you, but in quoting you I can tell the world you spelled that word wrong.

Really glad to see this reporting. I'd been pulling a similar thread (and might still write on it) but Logue does good work here.

Increasingly convinced that the RCNs are just terrible at reading the Bible. If we're going to challenge the ideology, I think it really needs to be at the level of exegesis.

Adventures in far right Twitterworld:

CN posts frustrations that ppl keep criticizing Trump for not doing enough. Asks, "What exactly is he supposed to do? Declare martial law and suspend the constitution?"

People respond.

Pushing a third (or fourth, or fifth) party option doesn’t look so bad now does it?

Gonna use that big, new word I learned from @bobstevenson.bsky.social

Xenomisia
Lebensraum for the late American Century

Good morning friends—Jesus is alive. Take heart.

Hard to articulate the dissonance of this with everything else we’re seeing.

Also, what an empty way to live. Like what lasting good is this going to bring to anyone—Musk included?

Dude would do well to read Ecclesiastes.

One thing that strikes me from yesterday's activity on RCN twitter is that these dudes are SO SCARED OF GIRLS
Here's the roundup for Wednesday, November 05, 2025 (it's a doozy!). Christian Nationalist Twitter discussed 4 themes:
1. Xenomisia and Racism
2. Republican Infighting
3. He-Man Woman Haters Club
4. Elections

Very annoyed this morning by racists who post bar charts that badly abuse or misrepresent the data.

Nothing makes me do the meme more than this.

The meltdown on CN twitter is incredible. They really believe they’re all gonna get hunted down by libs.

The epistemic isolation is so toxic. Sheesh.
November 5, 2025 at 3:09 AM
Man. I wish CNs would learn to do decent exegesis. This is just embarrassing.

Oh and racist. Definitely racist.
November 5, 2025 at 2:53 AM
Next post up. We get into the weeds of the political-religious vision of Reformed Christian Nationalists!

This is exactly a conversation that every parent has had with their 5-year-old child
The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.

"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.

"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

I really don’t like this timeline.

TBH, I expected more from the masculinity bros. Absolutely no shock and awe shame campaigns for the Big Tough Ice Agents who go to court because they were bested by a thrown sandwich.

There is a humane and just way to do immigration enforcement.

The current administration is choosing injustice and dehumanization.
