Glad to see so many people waking up to threat #ChristianNationalism poses to our republic and our pluralistic democracy.
If you've just recognized this existential threat, welcome to the fight. It's not over because Trump is on his way out the door. There's a lot left to do.

@kathsstewart's The Power Worshippers is a great look at the power players and monied interests that drive CN. She opened the back of the watch and showed us the interlocking gears. https://www.amazon.com/Power-Worshippers-Dangerous-Religious-Nationalism/dp/1635573432

Check out @C_Stroop's writings on #ChristianNationalism. As an #exvangelical, she's got a valuable perspective and is especially erudite and observant when it comes to the authoritarianism inherent in CN.
Here's a good example of her writing: https://conversationalist.org/2019/11/14/if-we-want-to-save-american-democracy-we-must-have-a-very-difficult-conversation-about-evangelical-christianity/

You also need to read @ndrewwhitehead and @socofthesacred's book Taking America Back for God. It's an indispensable, scholarly sociological study of #ChristianNationalism. They've also got countless articles on the subject. https://www.amazon.com/Taking-America-Back-God-Nationalism/dp/0190057882
You may want to check out the group, Christians Against Christian Nationalism. Their statement is short and worth reading:

Finally, if you want to know how to fight #ChristianNationalism, if you want the facts and history and, most importantly, arguments to undermine their mythology and destroy their identity, may I humbly suggest The Founding Myth: https://www.amazon.com/Founding-Myth-Christian-Nationalism-American/dp/1454933275
Jack Jenkins was one of the first journalists to cover Christian Nationalism, especially how Trump tapped it's power. https://twitter.com/jackmjenkins/status/1338594235143090176?s=19
And, of course, @michelleinbklyn, wrote the book on #ChristianNationalism back in 2006, Kingdom Coming: The Rise of Christian Nationalism.
She saw this coming a long time ago. https://www.amazon.com/Kingdom-Coming-Rise-Christian-Nationalism/dp/0393329763
