William Lindsey :toad:"He would have been exposed to versions of courses currently offered, such as one that explains how 'the World is in an era of serious warfare' and how 'the body of Christ must remember that Jesus has already won this war.' He may have heard the founder’s slogan that 'every Christian should pray at least one violent prayer a day.'”<a href="https://toad.social/tags/VanceBoelter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VanceBoelter</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/ChristianNationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChristianNationalism</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/violence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#violence</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/evangelicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#evangelicals</a> /22

William Lindsey :toad:"During his time at the school, Boelter would have been … taught to see the world as a great spiritual battleground between God and Satan, and to consider himself a kind of spiritual warrior. He would have been told that actual demonic forces can take hold of culture, political leaders, and entire territories, and thwart God’s kingdom."<a href="https://toad.social/tags/VanceBoelter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VanceBoelter</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/ChristianNationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChristianNationalism</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/violence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#violence</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/evangelicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#evangelicals</a> /21

William Lindsey :toad:"To some degree, the roots of Boelter’s beliefs can be traced to a Bible college he attended in Dallas called Christ for the Nations Institute. A school official confirmed to me that Boelter graduated in 1990 with a diploma in practical theology."~ Stephanie McCrummen<a href="https://toad.social/tags/VanceBoelter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VanceBoelter</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/ChristianNationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChristianNationalism</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/violence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#violence</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/evangelicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#evangelicals</a> /20<a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2025/06/vance-boelter-minnesota-shooting/683209/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2025/06/vance-boelter-minnesota-shooting/683209/</a>

William Lindsey :toad:"Our work ahead doesn’t just comprise seizing back the reins of government and reestablishing the rule of law and accountability. As Judge William Young, Sen.

William Lindsey :toad:"We have already reached the stage where they will mock rather than condemn a political assassination, all in pursuit of online clout and bragging rights among an increasingly desensitized and amoral base of voters. We were well on this road when Paul Pelosi was attacked by a hammer-wielding maniac, and all the right came back with was laughter and more false conspiracies."<a href="https://toad.social/tags/VanceBoelter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VanceBoelter</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/ChristianNationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChristianNationalism</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/violence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#violence</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/evangelicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#evangelicals</a> /18

William Lindsey :toad:"There’s been intense focus these past months on how the White House has exceeded its constitutional authority, and how Republicans have permitted a dangerous erosion of the rule of law.There’s been less attention, however, on a more overarching question: Do we still want to live in a moral society, governed by good people?~ Jay Kuo<a href="https://toad.social/tags/VanceBoelter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VanceBoelter</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/ChristianNationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChristianNationalism</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/violence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#violence</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/evangelicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#evangelicals</a> /17<a href="https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/my-duty-is-to-call-it-out" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/my-duty-is-to-call-it-out</a>

William Lindsey :toad:"Vance Boelter, the man accused of killing DFL House leader Melissa Hortman and her husband and shooting and injuring DFL Sen.

William Lindsey :toad:"In direct violation of the teachings and life of Jesus, the Hateful Faithful are cheering a vicious politician and regime.People see the rotten presidency and dysfunctional democracy.

William Lindsey :toad:"And we're seeing that in real time with them now associating with Donald Trump the most godless, like I would call him, if he was a biblical figure, I would say the pharaoh, the modern pharaoh, that they have attached their hopes and dreams to this man."<a href="https://toad.social/tags/VanceBoelter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VanceBoelter</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/ChristianNationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChristianNationalism</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/violence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#violence</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/evangelicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#evangelicals</a> /13

William Lindsey :toad:"Then it becomes very easy to rationalize the use of violence to repel this evil demonic force in order to save your country.

William Lindsey :toad:"Caravan, invaders, rapists, criminals, Haitians eating dogs and pets. Once you dehumanize them and call them, you know, and then you promote conspiracy theories like QAnon.

William Lindsey :toad:"Yeah, you feel you're under threat. You feel you're the victim. Right-wing media gives you a constant agreements narrative. There's always a new boogie person.

William Lindsey :toad:"And we can absolutely see that in the data. Those who are classified as authoritarian on those scales, those who classify as Christian nationalists on those scales are about three times as likely to say that they believe political violence may be necessary to save the country as those who score lower on those scales.

William Lindsey :toad:"But these are people that ultimately have to be eliminated, right, for God's will to be affected. He actually preached a sermon. This is something I think the mainstream media has reported on a little bit, but it hasn't come through as much as I'd like. ...When you've come to a place where you are utterly convinced that God is on your side for a political agenda, violence always follows."<a href="https://toad.social/tags/VanceBoelter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VanceBoelter</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/ChristianNationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChristianNationalism</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/violence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#violence</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/evangelicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#evangelicals</a> /8

William Lindsey :toad:"So it constructs a world in which your political opponents aren't just people that you disagree with. They are literally agents of Satan, right?

William Lindsey :toad:"[Vance Boelter] attended Christ for the Nations Institute in Dallas, which is a NAR, National New Apostolic Reformation-affiliated kind of school in that Pentecostal charismatic world.

William Lindsey :toad:"When you call people 'filth' or 'baby-killers', someone somewhere will start to believe they should be treated accordingly. ...American democracy is under attack from an authoritarian movement, and this movement derives its power partly from the rhetoric and politics that provokes division, hatred, and—wherever mental health conditions line up, as they inevitably must—violence."<a href="https://toad.social/tags/VanceBoelter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VanceBoelter</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/ChristianNationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChristianNationalism</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/violence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#violence</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/evangelicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#evangelicals</a> /5

William Lindsey :toad:"The story that many Americans like to tell themselves is that Christianity landed in America with the Pilgrims and hasn’t changed much since.
