Now that I figured out how to respond. Fraud is pretty strong word. I think she did a lot right in this movie. Capturing the isolation, the intimidation. How life can wear you down and everything becomes a threat. Capturing the big beautiful country but loneliness of the first settlers. Frontiers, cowboys where and how did women fit in? Did they or were they tolerated?
From you piece on Christian Nationalism you wrote; "The Right gets how to play identity politics. It’s taken pains to recruit women, Blacks, and Hispanics to be their standard bearers—the very kinds of people you don’t associate with Republicans. Democrats must follow suit. It would help, too, if their candidates were practicing Christians open about their faith. That’s because, despite the secularization of society, Americans still connect politics to an overarching moral narrative that derives from the Bible. It’s called civil religion, and it makes for my last prescriptive point."
-- Well we see that Republicans embraced Tulsi Gabbard, a Hindu. At least in the sense that she is frequently interviewed on Fox News. It seems that Americans of all stripes are willing to accept politicians from a diversity of religious backgrounds as long as they agree with their politics. I do think it would be a good idea to put forth some vocal Christians in the Democratic party and beyond it, in the Left. Unfortunately the vocal Christians tend to be right wing and that gives the impression that American Christians as a whole are right wing.
If they come to power, what do Christian Nationalists see as the future of all the other religions that are practiced in the USA? Forced conversion?
This is excellent and entirely correct.
I don't fully agree, but this is an excellent piece of criticism. Thank you!
