Kai Schwemmer, the new white supremacist leader of the College Republicans, is getting well-deserved attention — for his bigotry and close ties to Nick Fuentes.

What also demands attention here, but is being overlooked by media: like Nick Shirley, whose vile racist videos about Somalis in Minneapolis helped spark Trump's DHS/ICE attacks on that city, Schwemmer is a Mormon from Utah.

"The Protestant denomination that loved Donald Trump the most in 2024?

Easily the Assemblies of God.

He received 88% of their votes.
There was only one majority white denomination that clearly favored Kamala Harris:

Episcopalians."

~ Ryan Burge

See the chart below accompanying Burge's remarks.

Again: white Christians own the Trump presidency, its manifold cruelties and attack on democracy.

"Wilson's remarks at the Pentagon assured the audience that their battles were God’s battles, that God would be their protector just as he was for figures from scripture like Noah and David. He suggested that God’s people, having searched for the enemy, now realize they are surrounded—the implication presumably being that the real enemy is other Americans."

"They would limit the ability of believers of other faiths—including non-Protestant Christians—to publicly practice their faith; Wilson recently said on a podcast that the theocratic society he envisions would ban mosques from broadcasting calls to prayer and prohibit Catholic parades honoring the Virgin Mary."

"not merely condoning a form of women’s submission in marriage that has been common in evangelicalism, but also severely limiting leadership roles in the church and in government and society to men only. …

Wilson & his followers would deny not only women but also non-Christians the franchise and the right to pursue public office."

During a recent press conference at the Pentagon, he also quoted Psalm 44 by saying, 'Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.'

At the national prayer breakfast, Hegseth emphasized his belief that America is a 'Christian nation' and needs to defend that identity."

"Hegseth talks often about how God is on his side and has said that Iran shouldn’t doubt the US’s resolve because it is backed by God. He said, 'Our capabilities are better. Our will is better. Our troops are better. The providence of our almighty God is there protecting those troops, and we’re committed to this mission.'”

With about half of Americans supporting some version of Christian nationalist ideology, it's impossible to ignore the centrality of that ideology to Trump-Hegseth's war against Iran.

As Zachary B. Wolf says,

"Hegseth has long wanted to reprogram the country.

'America was founded as a Christian nation,' he said at a recent National Prayer Breakfast."

"When Christianity becomes publicly associated with nationalist aggression and eagerness for war, it presents a face to the world that is, by any honest reading of the New Testament, a misrepresentation of the faith."

"the latter seeks to impose that faith, by law and policy, on the rest of us. ...

religious nationalism has no interest in civility. Its nature is authoritarian; it does not learn from civil debate."

"It’s that goal of privileging Christianity in law and government that I think marks the line between personal politics (potentially based in faith-informed values) and religious nationalism. The former is an individual value set that may or may not influence particular policies, but still allows for freedom for others to move religiously within the subsequent law;" (continued in /5)

"They came out and just said that directly because it does not come anywhere near meeting the preconditionsfor anything that could be called a just war that Christians can endorse. … That's a big deal."

"We have two cardinals in the US actually this week calling out the administration for violating those conditions [of Catholic teachings about the morality of war] — Cardinal Robert McEkroy of Washington DC and Cardinal Blaise Kubic of Chicago saying this war is not morally legitimate."
