I see distressingly little difference between the German Christian Movement of the 1930s and American Christian Nationalism in the 2020s.

I’m not being hyperbolic; I’m dead serious. And if you’re inclined to doubt or dispute this, I invite you to examine the history for yourself.

The richest man in the world, given immense power by the presidential administration, is publicly and unashamedly dehumanizing entire groups of people. The result of this sort of purposeful "us vs them" is always violence.

When we say this is spiritual warfare, this is what we mean.
