Confused about "Christian Nationalists"? Let me help:

they wear crosses instead of swastikas, but they're still nazis.

1. The German word for swastika is Hakenkreuz, which means crooked or hooked cross.

So there's that.

1st Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

Use of the term "America First" and the Christian Nationalist Crusade were used by Gerald Smith, a Wisconsin-born pastor who allied himself with Huey Long. Smith was a Nazi sympathizer, politician and candidate for President in 1944 and 1948 as the nominee of the America First party. He was an unapologetic white supremacist, and anti-Semitic. His Christian Nationalist Crusade was labelled as such by the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai Brith.

The ideology is pseudo-Christian in that it borrows terminology and symbolism from Christianity, but it is anti-Christian in that it exhibits no Christian values or principles and its doctrine is not consistent with the Christian gospel. It uses the tools of both Christianity and democracy to gain control, then it sets them aside to enforce its own view.

It hides itself and covers itself inside Christian churches and denominations so that when there is a response, it looks like an attack on the church.
