Christian Nationalists Are Taking Over This Idaho Town
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- Christian nationalism used to be viewed as an extremist, fringe ideology tucked into dark corners of the country. But over the past few years, it’s become part of mainstream politics - especially in Idaho. And one of the most popular leaders of the movement lives in the Gem State. Heath Druzin, host of the “Extremely American” podcast (www.boisestate...) , is sharing how this movement is changing our democracy - both in Boise and around the country.

Shocked to learn there is a town in Idaho that wasn't already overrun with christofascists
Better than globalfascists.
Silver lining?
lol
@@johncharleson8733what are globalfascists?
@@michellewitt2071 Globalists; those who want to destroy peoples and nations in an effort to rule the world.
Thank you for covering this!!!
every single 18 to 29 yr old must vote locally and bingo! bye bye fanatics
@gcullerton3303 Yes! We need the Youth to Register and Vote.
@@gcullerton3303 Not all of the youth are as left wing as you'd like...

@@urubissoldat5452 Your purpose is simply wrong. But it gives you a sense of power that your weak ego needs. One day you’ll go too far and that ego will be checked.😊
Yeah, but they won't vote period
Period last election, I was asking some. If they had voted and digging deeper, learned that most of them didn't even have any idea how to vote.
When evil calls itself good
“With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil - that takes religion.”

In Jerusalem there is a bunch of Evangelicals that think Jesus won’t come back until they convert all the Jews to Christianity. What they are doing is aggressive pursuing.Its pretty awful over there.
Christians already think Jesus came through the gate in Jerusalem....so there's no reason for Jesus to "come back" there
I am going up to Moscow to start a secular ruckus, who wants to party?
its a cult
Maybe, but a damn site better than Islam. Choose your poison. I know mine.
You mean the Democrat party?
@@sanniepstein4835 trump is a cult leader, both are horrible but rump is the worst
@@sanniepstein4835No. The Religious Right.
You are misguided.

Thank you so much!! So glad this came my way!! 🇺🇸 🌎
Just listened to the podcasts. Great work. Calendars a reminder to check online each Wednesday for new episode
The most un-Christian people imaginable.
Nope. You are all irrational. Irrational thinking --> irrational action.
Great interview, even tho I'm in Florida now.
I always thought Idaho Was a Cristian Nationalist State? This isn’t new.
On the contrary, we are the only state in history to physically kick a hate group out of our state. Go pick on Mississippi where the majority are like that not the cluster of morons who move to North Idaho from all over the country. They're not our fault. They're coming from your state, probably. Sure its a red state. But "strange fruit" has never grown from our trees. And sure the republicans are vicious here, but again, no Strange Fruit.
As a native of Boise Idaho, no.
Idaho was always "Republican" and had a high rate of religiosity, but the people used to be much more friendly and welcoming than today.
What about the mormons? Tell us what you know about the mormons! Does Idaho have any mormons, expert? Are mormons christian nationalists, expert?
TAX the churches 😮
I'm waiting for the Scientologist Christian nationalist Mormons to start their own little who celebrates the Sabbath Saturday versus Sunday Wars. This right here is why religion does not need to be in our schools or politics not everybody believes what they want us to believe. Especially not the way they treat women😢
Way past that
@@qjtvaddict Exactly they should be Audited and Indicted
They shouldn't be running businesses but their schools are for profit and I'd bet the half of downtown Moscow they bought are businesses. But then its not like American law has ever held christians to any standard of any kind.
@@qjtvaddict Its never way past that. Just because it should have happened from day one does not mean it should not happen right now, or tomorrow.
This links to the University and them paying to purchase Phoenix U online etc. The Idaho 4 case and links to Delphi indiana via militant vinlanders like the shaman guy on j6 was😮
John Piper endorsed him.
Hasn't this been true for decades? I believe I have been hearing about this as far back as the 90s or earlier.
In the 90s a hate group bought land and terrorized the locals until they were booted out by court order. Since then, it hasn't been a hotbed of hate up until Trump came along and riled all the conservatives in the country. You act like its our fault. Maybe if NY had ever held Trump to any legal standard in his long con-artistry career he'd never have been in any position to have run for prez in the first time. Yes, I"m aware of him finally getting convicted recently, *but they've had FIFTY years.*
I have about 20 vinyl records put out by public high schools from the 1960s to the 1980s. They have explicitly Christian lyrics and their songs and titles that describe the Christian content. These things were allowed up until about the 1990s. Who are the squatters? It's not that Christian nationalist have suddenly appeared that forces made them disappear all of a sudden and now the re-emergence is re-spun.
I live in the Northwest and Boise has always reminded me of a worse version of Spokane. Which is already pretty bad but at least Spokane is a bit more scenic.
Boise has nothing to do with this and has an actual music scene. You can call Spokane a dump all you want, I haven't seen it since I was in grade school. But my city is beautiful and has smart, vibrant, and creative people. Every electrical box along the road has been painted in its own unique way. We love art here. We have nothing to do with christofascism. If you hate Boise, don't come here. You probably wouldn't appreciate watching bands like Built to Spill for free in someone's basement.
Boise is ultra squalid. Most people live in OLD trailers. Only about half the roads are paved. It's just all potatoes, everywhere. That's all people do. Grow potatoes and talk about them. Crime is worse than Baltimore. Most goes unreported, because the police don't care. The ghetto has no police presence at all. Mile after mile of homeless encampments. Used needles everwhere. And you NEED to be armed, because there are Mexican cartels watching your car the minute you cross the border.
Doug Wilson… isn’t that the guy that got spanked in a debate with Christopher Hitchens?
I became fascinated by the story of Frank Robinson recently. Pharmacist/spiritual guru.
Great ballplayer too if I recall correctly.,
What about far left communists and Antifa, how come you're not worried about that ?!
Take a look at the MAGA faction that took over the once conservative GOP. It was once around 20%. Now that number or those supporting that agenda appear around 80%.
I think the threat of Christian Nationalism is the same.
We saw something similar transform I'm Germany during Hitler, including support from Corpirations and businesses.. something that Moscow seems to be promoting as well.

There is no such thing as Christian Nationalists. You are either Christian OR Nationalist. You can't be both.
Wrong.
@@DrRussPhd I would simply add, AprilSun-uk3yj is CLEARLY wrong. Christian Nationalists are an unfortunate blight on our country.
@@AprilSun-yk3yj Why?
@@sr2291 Because the most influential founders recognized the necessity of Christian mores as a prerequisite for the type of civil order they envisioned and created.
Freedom OF Religion to them didn't mean freedom from Religion.
@johncharleson8733 You don't know what you are talking about. Which most influential founders? That is not part of our Constitution or our laws. Freedom of Religion means Freedom from Religion. No one can force you to believe anything, especially a state or the government. Some part of that statute is in every state constitution.
Enjoy a Protein Puck, one and all.
That may be the place to move to !
Sounds like hell
Too late. All the good spots are already sold.
Based?
Beautiful state and land and h#### people.
Mostly only in the north and they're mostly from Orange County, California. Just so you know, that's who invaded Idaho in the 80s and turned us into a red state. Prior to that we were the 2nd state where women could vote and as recently as Vietnam we had a governor who would pardon anyone who had gone AWOL to avoid the bloodbath there. Stop sending us your worthless no-good republicans and we'll stop being so red.
Love to hear lefties panicking about being called out on their sin.
must be fun being a bigot.
What sin would that be?
@JSmith-pb6fw go cast your vote for mumbles, reprobate.
God isn’t real and zealous religious people are irrational maniacs. Very bad for a free and forward-looking society.
Republicans are the party of hypocrisy and projection.
Submit to the will of the Lord.
I submit to no will but my own
The will of the lord isn’t something you need to submit yourself to since everyone experiences will of the lord, or whatever you want to call it. We are the universe experiencing itself.
What if the Lord is deranged like the one described in the Bible?
God has given mankind free will. If He wanted He could have made us a bunch of robots. He doesn’t want robots.

Sounds like a good thing to me. I support them as good Americans.
You ever been to Moscow before? If you had, you'd know that this shit is weird AF...
Yeah, like the Taliban are thought of as great by some Afghans.
@@larryparis925Exactly.
Yeah, unless you believe that Jews, Muslims Hindus, Shinto, or people of any other religion, or even agnostics or atheists, also have a right to their own religions, or lack thereof, and shouldn’t have only one religion forced on them, or their children through indoctrination in their schools. How would you feel if all the Jews, or Muslims, in the country said “ours is the only real and correct religion, so we’re going to make it the National religion of the U.S. that everyone in the country must adhere to, and we’re going to teach only it to all your children in school in every class”? I have a feeling you wouldn’t think that was such a “good thing”, would you? It’s not exactly constitutional.
@@vladislavdracula1763It would be weird AF in any city or town in the country, especially a college town.
We don't dispute the separation of church and state, the issue is that the modern version isn't representative of what its historically meant. I'm what would be considered a Christian Nationalist who doesn't like Doug Wilson, but many of these complaints are pretty unfair.
1. The US government has an "Educational Empire".
2. The violence argument rings hollow given things like the Trans Day of Revenge; this type of language is increasing from both sides. And "violent" language is used in all political discourse and in the Bible.
3. The Jan 6th thing is hyper polarized just like the BLM protests.
4. Aren't you saying their worldview is evil and harmful to America?
5. The sexual assault stories are your best arguments, however that issue spans every organization that is related to children. The issue with the submission argument could be applied to any hierarchical structure.
I have no idea what most of your bullet points even mean. And I tried. However, there are many strong arguments against Christian dominionism, unless you want to throw out the Constitution and everything the founders said about religion. So don't call yourself a patriot if you're doing that. Fascism or support for a theocracy are all incompatible with proclaiming yourself a patriot.
Cute attempt at downplaying
@@qjtvaddict I like the 'everybody does it' excuses.
Yes, their worldview is evil and harmful, not only to America
