Thank you for this, Rachel and Matthew. It would be helpful to hear from a scholar who knows Erich Fromm's writing, especially his work on malignant narcissism in groups. His understanding of the kind of right-wing fanaticism that grows from this significantly contributes to understanding what is happening today. His "The Heart of Man" is essential to this understanding.

When I post about Christian Nationalism It never gets any attention. There is a clear aversion even though there are several individuals who have been writing about it for years.

Sleepwalk into fascism because people don’t want to deal with religion? Christian nationalism isn’t religion. It’s just a method of fascist takeover.

See 350 years of Apartheid, above - Dutch, almost French, British, Afrikaans - and now proudly 'American'.

Trump has just 'appropriated' the underlying memes of Apartheid, otherwise known (by it's leading proponents) as White, Christian, Nationalism / 'Civilisation' (sorry, I can't resist the irony - there was nothing 'civilised' about it.)
