When Marjorie Taylor Green calls herself a Christian Nationalist does she know what that term means?

Remember when Trump was throwing around the term Nationalism and Nationalists? We had a few fluther threads about it. Some jellies tried to defend the word nationalism, and didn’t seem to understand that to most people that word means a blind loyalty to their country a la Hitler Nazi style. For me Nationalism is not being patriotic, it is being a robot aligned with the White Supremacists in the US.

Christian Nationalists believe America is a Christian nation and basically see Christians as superior and are fine using force, laws, even violence, for the country to conform.

Recently, I saw a video clip of Marjorie Taylor Green proudly saying she is a Christian Nationalist. Do people like her even realize how Christian Nationalists are actually defined and where the term comes from, and that she is on the fringe? Not just politicians, but average people who think using the term is ok and accepted? Is everyone using it actually meaning that they are pushing for Christianity by force in the US?

To be clear, Christian Nationalist is NOT the same as being a Christian. In fact in my opinion Christian Nationalism is the antithesis of Christianity and what I know to be the words of Christ.
