AND

l Murder of Charlie Kirk and the events that happen to him are an extraordinary window to observe the North American internal policy and especially the current trends of the US ultra -right to imbricate religion with politics.

The same Wednesday, the day of the attack, at night, in Congress, at the minute of silence for Kirk followed an argument that screams between legislators, another indicator that partisan tensions remain high. Many analysts warn a party.

The homicide of the ultraconservative activist Charlie Kirk, during an outdoor debate, committed in OREM, Utah, enraged President Donald Trump and senior commanders of the current government. In a video message from the Oval office, he described Kirk’s death as a “dark moment for the United States.” He immediately lashed out and blamed the “radical left” of the attack. He warned that his government would find “each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity and other acts of political violence.”

Trump declares a cultural battle not only before the American left, but against any secular movement that departs from his ultraconservative position, called “Christian nationalism.” This is an ideological conglomerate of the extreme religious right that sustains the primacy of God and Christianity in the political, social and cultural life of the United States. Therefore, it opposes the Church-State separation and protects the country founded by Christians and on Christian principles. According to this sociordious ideology, North America is losing the faith and moving away from the churches, so it is an American denot. Therefore, the United States went and must be a Christian nation again. In this way, the enlightened roots of US democracy deny. Without faith or churches, the country is lost. Therefore, we must face the secularism, ideologies of the left wrapped in the Wokismdemographic logic and secularism.

In the lucrative tribute to Kirk, before more than 100,000 people, in the stadiums of Phoenix, Arizona, Trump called him “martyr of US freedoms”, which stressed that double political-religious aspect. The act stressed that double political-religious aspect of a tribute that followed millions of people on television or online. They compared Kirk with San Esteban, first Christian martyr, and cited the Bible; It seemed more a ceremony with religious dyes.

Charlie Kirk, successful activist in youth circles of ultra -right, founded at 18 years a movement of ultraconservative young people called Turning Point, something like crucial moment. He was leader and mobilized millions of youth votes in the campaigns in favor of Trump. Kirk was an evangelical Christian. The Christian congregation to which it belonged was the Calvary Chapel Association (Chapel of Calvary Association), a network of evangelical churches. His Christian nationalism sustains the absolute empire of God’s law on society. This must be ordered according to the divine laws and the will of biblical laws. The Christian National Movement is authoritarian and tax; It is fundamentalist, maintains white supremacy, Dominionism. This is the theology of domain that involves the penetration and supremacy of God in to) politics and power, b) education, c) The family, d) The media and F) Culture. Immediately from the murder, Trump’s government unleashes a witch hunt Against journalists, dissidents and citizens who offered a different opinion of the facts in the networks. Government’s pressure, worthy of old macartism, to suspend the Jimmy Kimmel program. Brendan Carr, president of the Communications Regulator, suggested to ABC that he had to say goodbye to the presenter and that, if not, the government would take action on the matter. “We can do this for good or bad,” he declared stalking.

Religious political observator is more diverse than we imagine. The example of the position of the widow of Charlie Kirk is enough; She was forgiving her husband’s murderer: “I forgive him because it is what Christ did. The answer to hate is not hating.” Forgiveness is a central teaching of Christianity that opens reconciliation. However, Donald Trump demarcated this position, expressing that he hates his enemies and wishes them best.

The American president says goodbye to Kirk as a martyr of democracy. Donald Trump’s tactical movement is clear: to take advantage of this misfortune to get a slit in his project. It does not go only for leftism, it intends to imbate religion and politics as an ideological basis that your administration is guarded. Domain theology, rather than a conspiracy ideology, is a fusion of several very different conservative Christian political theologies. Trump needs strong and powerful allies. Trump intends to agree on vigorous evangelical movements that accompany and legitimize his management.
