Hopefully Tuesday put the brakes on this cringe "Christian Nationalism" fad.

I'm a Christian, but organized Christianity is in no position to lead anything political. Our political challenges require cesarean solutions to cesarean problems.

If we speak of religion at all, it should only be in vague terms about defending our religious freedoms.

Some thoughts on Trump's run for the White House in 2024, prompted by his announcement speech.

First, he has clearly aged. His voice today sounds thin. He sounds, to use his own famous phrase about Jeb Bush, "low energy". There is considerably less "oomph" there than in 2015. Of course, that was 7 years ago, so we shouldn't be surprised, but still, this change does not bode well for his chances.

Second, as Academic Agent has pointed out, a very significant thing is that Trump has not been reinstated on Twitter. Whether this indicates that Elon Musk dislikes him, or simply isn't going to reinstate anyone, is sort of immaterial. Either way, Trump is without the greatest technological/media weapon that he had: his Twitter account.

More profoundly, the vision he communicates in this speech is bland, dull and dumb. It is essentially: "I made America great again. The Dems have messed that up. Let's restore America to how it was in December 2020."

The most obvious problem here - for you and me - is that Trump didn't make America great again. The fundamental problems were still there at the end of his presidency - the nihilism, the soulless culture, the loss of racial cohesion, the total dissolution of a white American identity among normies, the absence of religion, the rampant consumerism, the incredibly corrupt establishment (the CIA, the FBI, the Deep State, etc.), a media sector full of traitors, and an education sector that day by day was systematically corrupting America's youth. Trump did not defeat any of these problems, so it is absurd to say that he made America great again. Never did Trump acknowledge the depth and severity of what was destroying America and the West in general; never did he get even remotely close to overcoming it.

But most right-wingers do not understand any of this. For them, much more relevant is the fact that, throughout Trump's presidency, all the organs that have run rampant ever since were either dormant (and not dismantled) or actively growing. Not only did he not make America great again, he didn't even protect it against real and present cancers that were developing right there and then. He did nothing against BLM, nothing against the WEF, nothing against Blackrock, nothing against Soros, nothing against Big Tech (which deplatformed him during his presidency!), and nothing against the covid con or the entire infrastructure that made it happen. Nothing.

It is fitting, then, that his speech announcing his "return" focused overwhelmingly on economic matters. And of course it pleased his supporters. The tragedy of mainstream right-wingers is that they understand almost nothing of the world around them - they do not understand identity (SJW), they do not understand soul (consumerism), they do not understand liberty (WEF), they do not understand power (Blackrock). Thus, they have no way to even recognise the various forces that are destroying everything they care about. Thus, they fall for a buffoon like Donald Trump.

Having said all of that, it is still the case that Trump has the ability to drive the Left - and the rest of the Establishment - nuts. For that reason alone, I hope he wins.
