Well this is a spot on analysis, nice work. The Christian knighthood wrapped up in warrior nationalism was made very explicit shortly after the US assassinated Iran’s General Soleimani back in Jan. 2020. A few days later Donald Trump Jr. posted on his Instagram account a photo of himself holding a custom AR-15 style rifle where the magazine was inserted into a medieval knight’s helmet adorned with the Jerusalem Cross. This cross is specific. White supremacy symbols are specific. It represents the European Christian Crusades to liberate Jerusalem from Islamic rule. Hence Soleimani. Inserted into the helmet was magazine clip which had a cartoon picture of Hillary Clinton behind bars (“Lock her up, lock her up). Marry these two symbols together & we get a hyper-militaristic populist movement that may or may not be also driven by a religious ideology. Clearly democracy and rule of law are not what is promoted. Really dangerous stuff considering all the conspiracies and misinformation/disinformation actively being promoted and amplified. Oh by the way that post received nearly 200,000 likes & at the time Donald Trump Jr had 5.2 million followers on his Instagram account. This is very far away from what the founders of our country were striving for.
