Ep. 330: Jesus and John Wayne -- Guns, God, Masculinity and the Christian Fascist Assault on American Democracy

The Chauncey DeVega Show

Kristin Du Mez is the author of Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation.

Du Mez explains how right-wing extremists took over the Republican Party and why they view the evildoer Donald Trump as a type of savior and weapon to advance their Christian fascist war on secular democracy.

Du Mez also highlights the role of white right-wing Christian extremists in Trump’s coup attack and lethal assault on the Capitol – and the importance of the movie Braveheart in their imaginary.

And she explains how and why the anti-Semitic Q-Anon conspiracy movement has been able to so easily take over many white right-wing evangelical churches.

Chauncey DeVega shares his thoughts on "Champion" Joe Biden’s speech to Congress, the professional best black friend for the Republican Party Tim Scott, and why Stephen Miller continues to be one of the most dangerous people in America and the world.
