We discuss the anti-democratic and reactionary nihilistic nature of the Christian nationalist movement. Christian nationalism is an ideology that functions as a tool for a leadership driven organization machine that turns mythology into political power.

Katherine’s civic action toolkit recommendations are:

1. Mobilize the pro-democracy majority

2. Stop purity testing
