Well now... it's anti-christo-fascist time, because diversity, equity, and inclusion is... antifa? [1]

As the J6 committee appears to be holding one of its last hearings, the key elements of its theocratic, dominionist supporters are being revealed as connected to politicians like Doug Mastriano among other usual suspects. Another kind of splinter group, Negative48 has emerged at Trump rallies with similar apocalyptic purposes.
This week with the Select Committee will feature at least one clip from a Danish documentary on Roger Stone.
Later that day, as The Post previously reported, Stone seemed to welcome the prospect of clashes with left-wing activists. As an aide spoke of driving trucks into crowds of racial justice protesters, Stone said: “Once there’s no more election, there’s no reason why we can’t mix it up. These people are going to get what they’ve been asking for.”
“F--- the voting, let’s get right to the violence. Shoot to kill, see an antifa, shoot to kill. F--- ’em. Done with this bulls---.” Stone immediately followed this with: “I am of course only kidding. We renounce violence completely. We totally renounce violence. The left is the only ones who engage in violence.”
In another clip selected by the committee, Stone talked of violence after attending a rally for a Trump ally, Rep. Douglas A. Collins (R-Ga.), the day before the election.
“ ‘I’m the president. F--- you,’ ” Stone said, imagining Trump’s remarks. “ ‘You’re not stealing Florida, you’re not stealing Ohio. I’m challenging all of it, and the judges we’re going to are judges I appointed.’ ”
“It’s going to be really nasty,” Stone said at home on July 9, 2020, predicting that Democrats would try to steal the election. “If the electors show up at the electoral college, armed guards will throw them out,” he said, apparently referring to ceremonial meetings of electors in state capitals.
In one clip, previously reported by The Post, Stone told a staffer four months before the election that Trump should use the powers of his office to reject official results and secure victory in the courts with help from federal judges who owed him fealty.

“You can’t understand what happened today without wrestling with Christian Nationalism,” Andrew Whitehead, a sociologist at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, said..., adding that white evangelical movements have long at least tolerated far-right extremism, well before Mr. Trump. “They provided the political and theological underpinnings of this, and it has allowed anarchy to reign.”

x The man who directed the “salutes” & “As one!” battle cry during Doug Mastriano’s recent Pennsylvania rally is Lance Wallnau, an avowed Christian nationalist & apostle in the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR). By @jennycohn1 for @BucksCoBeacon #NAR 1/

Wallnau is one of the four Christian nationalist leaders on stage below who recited this bone chilling decree in July this year, as explained in my new piece. 2/ Unroll available on Thread Reader x

3/ Wallnau also supports America’s Black Robe Regiment (Regiment), which partnered with the Oathkeepers in 2021, as discussed in my new piece. Disgraced retired Lt. General Michael Flynn will help the Regiment commission new members during his NAR-sponsored tour in PA next month.

4/ Wallnau is an ally of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG). He interviewed her a few days before the Mastriano rally (where Wallnau spoke) and Trump rally (where MTG spoke).
5/ In Feb this year, MTG spoke at a conference hosted by Nick Fuentes, a rabid anti-Semite, white nationalist, & Christian nationalist. MTG’s intern, Milo Yiannopoulos, had arranged for MTG to attend. In Feb this year, MTG spoke at a conference hosted by Nick Fuentes, a rabid anti-Semite, white nationalist, & Christian nationalist.

"The group on the floor was an offshoot of the QAnon community called Negative48, a name that they say stands for the opposite of evil. They’ve become a fixture at Trump’s rallies this year. Numbering about 100."

“It was spontaneous, it was like the domino effect,” said McDaniel, who also attended Friday’s rally here in Wilmington, N.C., coming from her home in the Chicago area. She objected to news coverage that condemned the gesture, with some comparing it to a Nazi salute. “It was an amazing, amazing moment, when you have the unity that everybody is there, and not only in this small group that was on the floor, but other people were doing it,” she said.
The group on the floor was an offshoot of the QAnon community called Negative48, a name that they say stands for the opposite of evil. They’ve become a fixture at Trump’s rallies this year. Numbering about 100, they can be spotted by their lanyards sporting as many as 16 commemorative buttons from each rally they have attended. Or see them wrap their arms around each other to sway to Elvis Presley’s “Suspicious Minds” blasting over the loudspeakers. Or lining up to take selfies in front of the stage with their leader, a man in American flag pants named Michael Brian Protzman.
The FBI has warned that extremist movements such as QAnon — which loosely revolves around the baseless belief that the world is secretly run by Satan-worshipping child sex traffickers — are likely to motivate some people to criminal and violent acts. The ideology has already been implicated in multiple crimes, including several people arrested in the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and a recent murder in Michigan.
But the Negative48 group rejects such characterizations.
“Some people call QAnon a cult, but I like to spell it cult with a Q, Q-U-L-T, because it’s hard to find people that are on our same page,” said group member Kelly Heath from Georgia. “It’s a strange story. You’re not going to hear about it every day. It’s like saying that God’s coming, the world is changing, and we need it to change. There’s bad people that run the world, and they do bad things to kids, and it’s ugly.” Heath said the group included members who were themselves victims of sexual abuse as children. www.washingtonpost.com/…
