You can only vote on one answer.
The Christian Nationalist agenda seems to line up with the Taliban, ISIS, etc. Using a perverted version of religion to support religion oppression and grab power.

Extremism has many forms. The only commonality is they are all extreme.

@JonLosAngeles66 Thank you for the BC.

So far they don't stone people in the streets

That's the thing about giving people the ability to speak out.

You may not want to hear what they have to say.

You just have to make sure their power and ability to affect others is limited

That means legal action and ballots.

They are not as bad as the Taliban, but I can see why you would draw a parallel in that they are very much about suppressing women and anyone who doesn't conform to their particular ideology. Most mainstream Christians would disavoe them as having anything to do with what they believe themselves

More lives have been shed over several millennia over religious beliefs than any other cause.

The US Constitution's first amendment was supposed to protect us from religious zealots trying to get the government to establish a national legion. Now we have the far right saying they have the right to force their beliefs on the rest of us!

There views towards how women should be treated is very similar.
Yeah no. I'm not a Christian nationalist but Christian nationalists don't blow up buildings, etc.
@JonLosAngeles66 Wow. One person and ages ago.
@BritishFailedAesthetic how many abortion clinics?

Yes, for all practical purposes. They hate the same things and people, want to take away the same human civil rights.

@RachelLia2003 I assume that short video is purely satirical, but it is in very poor taste.

@RachelLia2003 Thankyou - I'd not known that.

There is no actual group called Christian nationalist
@dale74 true. That's one positive difference. Though it is a shared ideal across evangelical leaning right wingers.
