The author considers the events of January 6, 2021, and the pervasiveness of Christian nationalist imagery. He explores the stated ideology and purposes of many of the reactionaries and how they have fused their fervent nationalism with a bastardized Christian faith. He spoke of the "1619 Project" and the "1776 Project," but wishes to focus on 1690 and the effects of "King Philip's War" on the Puritans and the development of a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant male dominated society interested in expansion into Indigenous areas, upholding slavery, and fervently anti-Catholic, and shows how this ideology undergirds modern Christian Nationalism. He also speaks of the connections between ethno-nationalism, a particularly libertarian economic ethos, and racial hostilities and how they have been manifest among reactionaries in recent times. He concludes with encouragement on how to avoid a violent overthrow of the government by such forces.
While I can sympathize with the author, and do think more critical exploration of the late 17th century would be productive, I found the work a bit myopic and lacking. There's not enough consideration of authoritarianism and how it would interface with a homogenizing impulse within Christendom writ large in America, for instance. Likewise there is little conversation about the various compromises many Christians proved willing to make in order to accommodate reactionary postures and how that came out of political expedience over the past 40 years.
