Trump's judiciary legacy was a landmark his fans have championed, but has drawn the ire of critics who say he's shaping a 'Christian nationalist' movement.
The term ‘Christian Nationalism’ has been used by the Left as a means of dismissing social conservatives who believe in the role of religion — or Judeo-Christian values — in everyday American life. In this series, thewill analyze what it actually means to be a ‘Christian Nationalist,’ why the term is maligned and misunderstood, and what role, if any, it might play in a future Trump administration.
“Nothing in the pro-life argument depends on sectarian premises — unless opposition to murder is to be redefined as a sectarian belief,” Richards said. “The fact that conservative religious believers see the burden of this argument more clearly doesn’t make the argument religious or sectarian.”10% of U.S. residents may count as Christian nationalism “Adherents,” while 20% of respondents were listed as “Sympathizers” of the ideology.
“Sure, politics is downstream from culture. But because the law is a teacher, that means that culture is downstream from politics and the courts,” Richards added. While fighting in courts and state legislatures to secure more restrictions on abortion is important to many conservatives, Trump himself has indicated he believes staunchly anti-abortion positions are bad for GOP electoral prospects., and he took credit for the decision because of his nominations of Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett, three members who helped create the 6-3 majority opinion.
