Pat Kahnke and guest Adam Swenson unpack this dismissive label—and why it’s often used to silence moral outrage, civic concern, and Christian empathy. In this conversation, we explore: Why opposing Trump isn’t deranged—it’s deeply principled How MAGA politics weaponize dehumanization and foster cruelty Real-life stories from Zambia, Facebook, and American hospitals Biblical framing from James 1:27: What does “pure religion” really demand? What happens when following a leader reshapes your soul Why Christians must resist the numbing tactics of authoritarian power This episode confronts Christian nationalism’s emotional manipulation and challenges all of us—left, right, and disillusioned—to reclaim our moral voice in a divided culture. 📌 Subscribe for more justice-focused, biblically grounded cultural commentary
