They reminded readers that last year at a conservative conference, he had proclaimed, 'Welcome to the end of democracy. We are here to overthrow it completely. We didn’t get all the way there on January 6, but we will endeavor to get rid of it.</p><p>As it turned out, Posobiec, a podcaster and a senior editor at Human Events, an ultra-right publication, told Politico that he didn’t tag along with Hegseth. Instead, he accepted an invitation from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to travel with him as media to Ukraine for the secretary’s meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky."</p><p><a href="https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/02/jack-posobiec-unhumans-hegseth-bessent-pincohet-franco-fascists-maga-trump/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">motherjones.com/politics/2025/</span><span class="invisible">02/jack-posobiec-unhumans-hegseth-bessent-pincohet-franco-fascists-maga-trump/</span></a></p>

Chuck Darwin<p>‘The end of democracy’</p><p>
The growing prominence of Christian nationalism within the GOP has led to a scramble among pro-democracy groups to raise awareness about the risks it poses to elections and security<br> — a threat that’s hard to recognize when it’s dressed in religion.<br>
Christians opposed to a nationalist ideology are among the leaders of the pushback, <br>speaking in churches and at universities, <br>countering spiritual warfare language with other biblical verses that emphasize compromise <br>and peacemaking.<br>
“We must stand up to and speak out against Christian nationalism, <br>especially when it inspires acts of violence and intimidation,” read a statement by Christians Against Christian Nationalism, <br>a campaign organized by the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty, which supports the separation of church and state.</p><p>Schiess, the Duke theologian, said she encourages Christians to run through a checklist when they hear powerful figures making biblical references: </p><p>“Where is the language coming from and is this an appropriate use of it? <br>Is this being used either to incite violence or anger or fear? <br>Or, is it being used to make me feel comfortable and powerful and secure?”</p><p>The idea that Christian identity is under assault resonates with high-profile conservatives, <br>among them House Speaker Mike <a href="https://c.im/tags/Johnson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Johnson</span></a> (R-La.), who displays the <br>🔸“Appeal to Heaven” flag, 🔸<br>a Christian nationalist symbol, <br>outside his office in Washington. </p><p>Johnson is among many politicians on the right who recite <br><a href="https://c.im/tags/Ephesians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ephesians</span></a> 6:11 about putting on <br>“the full armor of God” <br>to face the Devil’s schemes.<br>
“Obviously, this is an increasingly hostile culture,” Johnson told the audience at a Christian women’s conference in 2022 where he quoted the verse. <br>“We all know that. We need to understand why that is, and we need to commit to do our part to confront it. 💥The kingdom of God allows aggression.💥”<br>
At the recent Conservative Political Action Conference, a right-wing conclave now dominated by pro-Trump factions, <br>far-right conspiracy theorist Jack <a href="https://c.im/tags/Posobiec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Posobiec</span></a>, onstage with Trump ally Stephen K. <a href="https://c.im/tags/Bannon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bannon</span></a>, welcomed the crowd <br>“to the end of democracy.”</p><p>“We’re here to overthrow it completely. <br>We didn’t get all the way there on January 6, <br>but we will endeavor to get rid of it and replace it with this,” Posobiec told the audience, holding up a <a href="https://c.im/tags/cross" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cross</span></a>.<br>
“Amen,” Bannon said.</p>

Chuck Darwin<p>The annual Conservative Political Action Convention (CPAC) is seldom subtle.

That’s right, because all glory, all glory is not to government, all glory is to God." </p><p>Was the remark in jest? </p><p>No. And the crowd knew it.&nbsp;<br>His comments got big <a href="https://c.im/tags/applause" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>applause</span></a> and an “amen” from moderator Steve <a href="https://c.im/tags/Bannon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bannon</span></a>, who, by the way, is set to stand trial in a New York state court for fraud and money laundering in May and only escaped federal prosecution because of a presidential pardon. </p><p>As far as I have seen, no Republican attendee denounced Posobiec’s comments.</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/CPAC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CPAC</span></a> is the annual four-day conference for extremist Republicans.
