I would also add that related to the "objective morality" standard, anti-americans tend to be blue-pilled in the sense that they trust the "experts" in the establishment because they do not trust themselves to reason to an "objective truth" individually.

There's a lot to unpack here, but I agree with you in the main; it's ludicrous to me that we pick so many internecine fights, when the dragon is pretty clearly on the rampage. Da fuck is wrong with u people?

Will comment in more detail later. The only bone I have to pick right now is this: I don't think you will "burn in Hell forever" simply because your thought/language model doesn't include certain "buzz words." I don't think I'm alone in seeing that perspective as foolishness, either. You are my brother, in-or-out of Christ. Frankly, it's hard for me to understand how any Christian might see the situation any other way, outside of the usual tribal bullshit.

I don't really have strong feelings on this subject - I'm culturally Christian, believe in God, but am not exactly a regular churchgoer and have ... heterodox opinions on matters of religious dogma. But, I guess the counterpoint that Christian nationalists would make is that faith in Christ is crucial to knit people together and strengthen their spines sufficiently to stand strong and push back the darkness; and, that America having always been a Christian nation, Christianity is implicit in Americanism.

I'm not remotely convinced they're correct about that. Certainly the current state of the churches - Hagee simping for Israel, Methodists hanging the rainbow diversity flag, the Pope a card-carrying globalist - doesn't exactly inspire confidence.
