Chuck DarwinThis isn’t about J.D. <a href="https://c.im/tags/Vance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vance</a> hanging out with pro-Russian fascist podcasters who gleefully platform Holocaust deniers, -- although that’s definitely a thing. And it’s not specifically about the libertarian/authoritarian <a href="https://c.im/tags/Peter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Peter</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Thiel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Thiel</a> techbro creepers who basically created J.D. in a lab, without whom he’d literally be nothing. -- But both of those things are related to these things. This is about the <a href="https://c.im/tags/Christian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Christian</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/nationalists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nationalists</a> who find themselves in J.D. Vance’s orbit, and he in theirs — people who are literally prayer-gasming themselves right now at the idea of having one of their own freaks a heartbeat away from the presidency. To start off with, did y’all hear about the town hall Vance just did with <a href="https://c.im/tags/Lance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lance</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Wallnau" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wallnau</a>, one of the most <a href="https://c.im/tags/dangerous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dangerous</a> “Seven Mountains” Christian Nationalist <a href="https://c.im/tags/Dominionists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dominionists</a> in the country?Lance Wallnau is perhaps the foremost figure in what’s called the <a href="https://c.im/tags/New" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#New</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Apostolic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Apostolic</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Reformation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Reformation</a> movement, which teaches that Christians have a mandate from Heaven to exert dominion over what they call the seven “mountains” of American life — family, religion, education, media, entertainment, business, and government. There is no room for democracy in this movement, it’s authoritarian, and it craves a dictator.Wallnau is fucking bonkers. His movement is fucking bonkers. Wallnau believes people on the left are literal <a href="https://c.im/tags/demons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#demons</a>, that Kamala Harris has a “Jezebel Spirit,” and so much more.Oh, and of course, Wallnau and the New Apostolic Reformation believe Donald Trump is a modern-day King Cyrus, a pagan emperor being used by God to bring forth his kingdom on earth. Ayup. So it’s not surprising that Wallnau and his movement are deeply entwined with the “Stop the Steal” movement, which did what it did on January 6, 2021 at the U.S. Capitol.Wallnau has been doing something called the <a href="https://c.im/tags/Courage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Courage</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Tour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tour</a>. And sweet, kind, caring, moderate J.D. Vance was a special guest on that Courage Tour last weekend in Pennsylvania, though he was careful not to appear with Wallnau, and did his best to make the event seem as innocuous as possible.As it happens, Stephanie McCrummen published an article in The Atlantic this week called “The Christian Radicals Are Coming,” which is all about the tour’s stop in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.Half Pentecostal tent revival, half voter registration and mobilization event, the thousands who attended were treated to several days of the kind of radicalizing, violent rhetoric you usually hear in documentaries about, well, radicalized movements that turn violent.Wallnau told congregants about a scene from Gladiator featuring its main character Maximus, and asked the crowd if they were ready to be “activated in your Maximus anointing.” He told attendees he suspected they were “nobodies on earth who are somebodies in the spirit.” That’ll make ‘em feel special.Another speaker, a weirdo author named <a href="https://c.im/tags/Bill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bill</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Federer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Federer</a>, who seems to think he’s a historian, told them they were “important people,” and that “God has chosen you” for this moment in history. He cited a quote from Peter Thiel — hi, gay libertarian techbro Peter Thiel! — which said that “The political slogan of the antichrist is ‘peace and safety.’ ” (Which is funny because isn’t that what all Trump’s Nazi scaremongering about being women’s protector is?)Federer, jumping the shark completely, told the crowd that “Someday, you’re going to be dead” and in Heaven — specifically in Moses’s living room, some kind of celestial onesie party, I guess — and Moses will tell stories of all the hot shit he did and David will talk about that one time he fucked up Goliath, and then everybody will look at the MAGA Christians and ask them what they did. <a href="https://evanhurst.substack.com/p/lets-meet-jd-vances-creepy-christian" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://evanhurst.substack.com/p/lets-meet-jd-vances-creepy-christian</a>
