OUR SPIRITUAL NEW NORMAL

        In response to the strange White House roof incident, Donald Trump Jr. released a post with the theme from the 1980s film Rocky III playing in the background. The backstory behind this unusual post can be read here, if anybody is interested. 

         Despite hard evidence like this, there are some who still insist on questioning the sanity of our leadership or the Moral Compass of its supporters. Obviously, however, this post was the product of a perfectly rational mind produced by the most pro-Christian and pro-Family Administration in history; and those Commie Libtards just make mountains out of molehills. 

       Meanwhile, in the Real World, our Christian Conservative Congressmen and Congresswomen are over in the Holy Land doing photo-ops with WEF member and Zionist strongman, Benjamin Netanyahu. The purpose of this visit is to bolster Christian Nationalist Mike Huckabee's (the current US Ambassador to that country), assertions that there's really no genocide going on in Palestine; and this despite the Zionists' admissions to the contrary.

      In addition to Israel, the White House announced this week a Strategic Partnership with Armenia---another Government sinking deeply into authoritarianism and one which openly persecutes Christians. Yet these are the sorts of people that the New Christian Right seems to find appealing. 

      Under the US Constitution, we don't (for now) have a State Church, but that hasn't stopped the Oligarchs from trying to create a de facto version of one. In the US, Christianity is largely centered on cultish Megachurches who operate extensively online and have significant ties to Big Tech. JD Vance and Deep State spook Chris Buskirk founded (with considerable Silicon Valley backing) the Rockbridge Network in 2021 whose stated mission is "to bring together investors who are dissatisfied with the status quo of politics and raise capital to fund projects that will disrupt but advance the Republican agenda...The Rockbridge Network will replace the current Republican ecosystem of think tanks, media organizations and activist groups that have contributed to the Party's decline with better action-oriented, more effective people and institutions that are focused on winning." The Christian Nationalists form a major contingent within this organization. 

       The TheoBro Movement is a more high-tech version of the Christian Nationalist agenda. As exposed by Courtenay Turner, "The newest and perhaps most precarious component of this convergence is the TheoBro Movement—young Christian Nationalist men who merge Reformed theology with Silicon Valley supremacism. Unlike previous evangelical movements focused on cultural issues, TheoBros explicitly advocate for replacing democratic governance with biblical law. Operating primarily through podcasts, social media, and affiliated churches—particularly the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC) founded by Douglas Wilson—they advocate positions that would shock most Christians: repealing the 19th Amendment to end women's suffrage, implementing public flogging for certain crimes, establishing biblical law as the legal foundation for American governance...

   "These young men combine Christian identity with explicitly Nationalist ideology, often boasting of their physical fitness and traditional gender roles while building weapons systems and surveillance technologies. The movement's political connections run deep. JD Vance attends a TheoBro-affiliated church and has spoken at events organized by the movement's leaders. Chris Buskirk, Vance's co-founder at Rockbridge Network, sits on the board of TheoBro-aligned organizations. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's membership in a CREC church drew attention because of the denomination's explicitly Christian Nationalist positions."

     With this background in mind, we can understand how American Christianity can flourish despite holding positions contrary to everything actual Christianity really represents. It is essentially a Supremacist Movement with temporal power as its real goal under the guise of a spiritual reformation. It also ties together every other fringe-supremacist group: the Manosphere 'Alphas;' Neo-Nazis, White Supremacists, etc., and gives them a self-righteous legitimacy. 

    This legitimacy is, of course, what Depth Psychologists call a rationalization. Freud defined rationalization as a psychological Defense Mechanism which helps individuals cope with their behaviors by constructing plausible but untrue reasons for their actions. So-called 'Christian Conservative' blogs and websites are filled with examples of this; what the majority of them seem to be avoiding/rationalizing away is that Supremacism underlies what they really support and believe in. 

     President Johnson's observation actually turned into a Political Strategy as far as the New Right is concerned. To a great extent, it's worked too: if anyone doubts that, there's no shortage of commentary online expressing a willingness to submit to any social or economic injustice, so long as the people these writers hate are made to feel inferior to them.

    It should be obvious that any religious movement rooted in hate and openly expressing the Will to Power as its highest spiritual manifestation is a false religion whether it pretends to be 'Christian' or not. Its appeal to Mob Psychology and its calling forth of the worst elements in Human Nature ought also ought to raise eyebrows, but as is the case with Rationalization, the True Believers tend to double-down even more.

    Psychologists also affirm that the first step to a cure is acknowledging that a problem exists. This applies to societies as well as to individuals; and is why we need to call out and expose these falsehoods and the impostors promoting them wherever we can. The smokescreen of propaganda only reinforces the tendency towards rationalization of New Normals which never should have been debatable in the first place.
