Getting a lecture about democracy from neocon grand wizard Robert Kagan is akin to being scolded on dinner etiquette by Jeffrey Dahmer and in both cases, one must be very wary of the source.
In another sign that things are looking mighty grim for Joe Biden, the overstuffed ideologue has lent his ideological clout to the left-wing and its efforts to demonize Christians in the runup to this year’s election.
Kagan, who is married to the blood-soaked former Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland, penned a demented screed for the Washington Post about the threat to democracy from Trump and “Christian nationalists” and went on MSNBC to claim that Trump is running on a “white supremacist” platform fueled by “Christian Nationalism” a that to the left, really means ALL people of the Christian faith.
The arch-neocon found a receptive ear in homosexual MSNBC pundit Jonathan Capehart over the weekend on his MSNBC show where he followed up his deranged Liberal Washington Post essay by dumbing it down for the Democrat propaganda network’s mouth-breathing viewers by inserting race into his argument.

“As you’ve been talking, you point out that Christian nationalism has been a powerful and often dominant force throughout our country’s history. How does Trump’s embrace and amplification of Christian nationalism compare to what we’ve seen in the past?” Capehart asked his guest.
“Well we’ve never seen a presidential nominee I would say certainly in the last 70 or 80 years right, run on such a frankly white supremacist platform,” Kagan stated. “He began it in 2012 when he first ran for the president by singling out Barack Obama and the birther conspiracy which was essentially saying that the first American black president wasn’t really an American.”
“He signaled to unhappy whites out there that he was their guy and he has been their guy ever since and right now there is a mutually dependent relationship between Trump and this core of white Christian supporters,” he said.
Why do people support Trump despite the risk he poses?

Using a lot of words to make his point that Americans can’t be trusted to vote for who they choose, Kagan’s piece argues that Christian nationalists are using Trump as a wrecking ball to tear down a “liberal system stacked against them.”
In his massive 6,000 + word rant, Kagan states: “Trump did not just stumble into the leadership of this movement of White rebellion. He summoned it. He made his debut as a presidential aspirant on an unabashed white supremacist platform, championing the birther conspiracy that America’s first Black president was not in fact an American. Riding that issue alone, he catapulted to the front of the Republican pack, according to polls in 2011, before bowing out to continue his hit show, “The Apprentice.” Whether his debut as a white supremacist was opportunism or sprang from conviction hardly matters — it certainly has not mattered to his followers.”
“The fact is, white supremacy has been his calling card, and millions have responded to it to the point where white nationalists have become the core of his movement. Many Christian nationalists already see him as a suffering Christ, and in this bizarre sense it is true that the prosecutions have ‘helped’ him: The more adversity he faces, the more court battles he must wage, the more allegations that are slung at him, the more devoted they are to him,” he wrote.
To leftists and neocons, God is the state, and “Christian nationalism” or a belief system that rights come from the Almighty and NOT the government is a threat to their hold on power and there is nothing that they fear more than a spiritual awakening in America.
It must be stopped in their view, thus the uptick in attacks on Christians in media and from state-worshipping Democrats like Rob Reiner and his ilk to demonize Christians and ultimately criminalize God himself, a dangerous competitor to the totalitarian state.
It’s worth noting that late last year, Kagan penned another lengthy piece for the Liberal Washington Post in which he likened Trump to a figure like Caesar or Hitler if he succeeds in returning to power, which some saw as a dog whistle that it was ok to take out the top opposition candidate.
By claiming ‘Trump will be like Hitler,’ neocons & Dem establishment rationalize their weaponizing of govt agencies, embolden those in power to further abuse their power, and may encourage a lone wolf to do what people say should have been done to Hitler before he took power.

“Trump has so far shown no inclination to reach out beyond his base, to Nikki Haley voters, to more moderate suburban Republicans, to those who are made uncomfortable by his statements and actions. He may show flexibility on the important issue of abortion to secure his own election, but since clinching the nomination, he has only hardened his Christian nationalist message,” whined Kagan, who along with fellow neocon Bill Kristol co-founded the infamous Project for a New American Century (PNAC) think tank.
“His ‘poisoning the blood’ campaign, his ‘dictator-for-a-day’ comments, his release of the Trump Bible, his claim that, upon taking office, he will create ‘a new federal task force’ to fight ‘anti-Christian bias to be led by a fully reformed Department of Justice,’ are all aimed directly at his white Christian nationalist base without much concern for how millions of other Republican voters feel about it. Christians are ‘under siege,’ he claims in hawking his Bible. “We must make America pray again,’” he wrote.
“If the American system of government fails this year, it will not be because the institutions established by the Founders failed. It will not be because of new technologies or flaws in the Constitution. No system of government can protect against a determined tyrant,” Kagan concluded.
