Is Lauren Boebert a Christian nationalist?

This isn't in the story but after Boebert said the church should direct the government, I asked a spox for the congresswoman whether this would effectively make non-Christians second-class citizens.

"I have to think about that," he said.

U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert’s pattern of pushing for a religious takeover of America, spreading falsehoods about the 2020 presidential election and warning of an impending judgment day amounts to Christian nationalism, religious, political and social experts say.

Those ideals threaten the rights of non-Christian — and typically non-white — Americans but also endanger the foundation of the country’s democratic process, those experts say. The far-right Western Slope congresswoman represents a high-profile and incendiary voice in the movement, which is infiltrating virtually every level of American government and its judiciary.

Boebert leaned on those talking points Friday — in her official capacity as a member of Congress — at the Truth & Liberty Coalition’s From Vision to Victory Conference in Woodland Park.

“It’s time for us to position ourselves and rise up and take our place in Christ and influence this nation as we were called to do,” Boebert, of Silt, told the crowd, which responded with applause.

“We know that we are in the last of the last days,” Boebert later added. “This is a time to know that you were called to be part of these last days. You get to have a role in ushering in the second coming of Jesus.”

Goes right along with Romney's comment about only corporations owning houses.

Yikes.

She’s not pretending to be stupid like so many of them do to gain the stupid vote, she’s the genuine article.

The link below is a somewhat lengthy but worthwhile read of a very
thorough and pretty shocking account of the Great Reset, Leftist
authoritarianism, and the goal of Global Totalitarian Government.
htt ps://imprimis.hillsdale.edu/what-is-the-great-reset/

It will come, but not yet. The article in the link fails to address
the spiritual aspect of all this Leftist threat and darkness.

The Left, now fully engaged in the Great Reset AKA Global Totalitarian
Government, is driven by the spirit of Antichrist because the ultimate
end of all this Leftist delusion and craziness whether these dazed and
confused Leftists realized it, is worldwide worship of Satan himself,
what Satan has always wanted .

This will happen, but not yet. The presence of the Spirit of the Lord
and believers all of which have great power over the spirit of
antichrist, will stop this nonsense now. There is still a world to be
swept with the gospel one last time.

Soon and suddenly, but not quite yet IMO, Jesus will take his
believers out of this world along with the Holy Spirit and then the
end will come. Note that when this utter unsustainable Satanic Leftist
plan violating every human instinct of life, freedom, and self
interest is implemented in the soon-coming tribulation, the
tribulation itself will only last seven years because by then almost
the entire world will be dead in the short span of seven years.

We see this at work now and is why socialism and totalitarianism is
always short lived. BTW, the Great Reset AKA Global Totalitarian
Government is really Satan’s counterfeit of the soon-coming true Great
Rest and Worldwide Rule of Peace of Jesus Christ the King of kings and
Lord of lords, which BTW will last 1000 years because man will finally
experience the peace he has always been looking for and needs.

...they would know that even Christ said he didn't know when he would return.

But wait! There's More!

He did prophesy about the signs of the end.....and we haven't hit them yet. Oh and those "signs" are just an early warning, when he returns after them, anyone's guess.

The odd thing is this, there will be the final two witnesses and the anti-Christ and his false prophet. How about that? Two on each side. And she is advocating for a theocracy, I'll just leave the point there.

Side note, she's probably never even so much as a chapter out of the Bible and probably thinks its one book written by God despite being a collection of books penned by man for inspirational purposes.
