Summary

Brad delivers a mini episode analyzing how Christian nationalists are likely to interpret the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. He emphasizes his condemnation of political violence and its anti-democratic nature. Brad references Lauren Kirby's book 'Saving History,' explaining that white Christian nationalists see themselves either as founders or victims. Trump's assassination attempt reinforces their view of him as a victim under attack, legitimizing their call for retribution. He also cites Gorski and Perry's 'The Flag and the Cross,' discussing the idea that white Christian nationalists feel entitled to use violence to impose their vision of America. Brad warns of potential dangerous outcomes and highlights the media's response to normalize Trumpian rhetoric post-attack. 00:00 Introduction and Condemnation of Violence 01:24 Christian Nationalists' Perspective on Trump's Assassination Attempt 01:39 The Founder or Victim Narrative 02:52 Trump as a Victim and Founder 04:10 White Christian Nationalists' Claim to Authority 06:20 Implications of the Assassination Attempt 07:32 Broader Reactions and Media Response 10:17 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Learn more about your ad choices.
