Something you will come across quite often in Christian Nationalist circles is heated opposition to “the postwar consensus.” The change in American worldview that came in the wake of World War II and the Holocaust is framed as having infected the minds of conservative Christians, causing them to champion “losing with dignity,” and nefariously preventing them from properly seizing worldly political power for their own gain.
This is fascinating and stomach-wrenching stuff. Wolfe and his cohorts display in the comments you share an extraordinary ignorance of the history of intellectual thought and church history since the 18th century. It’s nonsense. Not sure how you debate fruitfully with folks with such outlandish claims and ignorance. I’m curious where you see these ideas gaining traction? Any particular ecclesial setting? Or just the Twitterverse?
What is CREC?
Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches. Doug Wilson's denomination.

This stuff is all over the CREC and in the reactionary fringes of the SBC.
