Christian *singer* Carman was a big proponent of the Moral Majority myth that the US was internally worse off after public Christian prayers were ruled unconstitutional than it was under Jim Crow.
As you may notice, Carman's songs and videos featured a LOT of demons. This form of Christianity was very Black & White (and had a lot of 'casual' anti-Blackness). Demons/the Devil/witches had a starring role in maybe the majority of his videos:
The one where Carman physically assaults a nice neighbor in his own home who invited him to play D&D
Combining Dominionism & demonology means anyone not agreeing with rightwing US-nationalistic Evangelical Christianity (ie., comparing abortion to the Holocaust) is literally demonized. Christofascist 'revival' as a solution
Carman was loaded with anti-Semitism and misogyny long before his ultra-patriotic phase (of course he'd become a Trumpster. I was not surprised by that)
I think about how insulting his raps were, even when they were just hyping Jesus up, they were just... terrrrrrible. Back when any Whyt hack thought they could just rap because it was rhyming words to a beat lol
A parody of a C&C Music Factory video. Everybody can't dance now because the music is whack. (but also, there's a reading of class conflict here? But the workers are revolting against... liberals? idgi lol)
These songs are just way too long lol.
There is no way on earth this should've been ever reported Religious News Service. lol
