In the latest episode of Hawk's Droppings, Hawk guides the audience through a peculiar journey into the world of white Christian nationalism. It all started when a curious comment prompted the exploration of this strange concoction, likened to the worst smoothie ever – a blend of Jesus, right-wing politics, racism, sexism, homophobia, and bigotry, with a dash of supremacy for texture. Hawk questions whether believers genuinely embrace these ideas or if it's just a power trip, creating a psychological puzzle to unravel.

The narrative rewinds to the '70s and '80s, the birth era of the conservative Christian movement. Contrary to popular belief, it wasn't Roe v. Wade but the aftermath of the Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 that ignited this movement, primarily fueled by resistance to desegregation. As overt racism became socially unacceptable, the movement pivoted to abortion as its rallying cry. However, racism persisted, donning a different disguise. Fast-forward to the 2020s, and the perplexing mix of religion and politics leaves observers scratching their heads.

Engaging with Jeff Charlotte's book, "The Undertow," Hawk explores the slow civil war between right-wing politics and religion. The evolution of religion into delusion, division into distrust, and hatred into fantasies of violence is meticulously unveiled. This movement continues to evolve, now incorporating nationalism, asserting that the United States is divinely ordained as a white Christian nation. It's a mind-boggling journey, and as Hawk unravels the web, each revelation makes the narrative weirder.

Wrapping up part one, Hawk tantalizes with an intriguing tidbit about Jericho marches organized by Christian nationalist groups between the 2020 election and inauguration day. Drawing inspiration from Joshua 1:9, these events blend Old Testament vengeance vibes with eerie realism. Amidst this, Hawk hints at a new documentary by Rob Reiner called "God in Country," focusing on white Christian nationalism, promising a deeper dive in part two. Stay tuned for the continuation of this exploration into the strange world of white Christian nationalism.
