What do you think about this Christian Nationalist's simple explanation of the movement?

If it's Jan Fugelsang, you pronounce it Yahn Fooglesung if Norwegian or Yann Fooglesang if Danish.
It means Johnny Birdsong.
1:59 I'd say, so far so good.
The Latino immigrant isn't against Catholic Christianity in the same way that some Sudanese or Algerian immigrants are against it in France.
Is he arguing that Christian Nationalists should oppose ICE? If so, nice.
3:17 You do admit that one of them is teach ye all nations — right?
A teacher is a culturally dominant force in his classroom.*
Jesus says the Apostles (and their successors) should have entire nations as classrooms. In such a way that ... baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. So, all or most citizens are supposed to be Christians. Not just give out the message and let any individual who will take it up (that's part of it), but go on and specifically target politicians (like targetting the Candace of Ethiopia by her Eunuch) and do other stuff intending for them to actually succeed in teaching all or most of the baptised to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you ...
Sounds like some degree of Christian nationalism is actually incumbent on the actual Christian Church (that being the Catholic one).
This doesn't mean necessarily all the Trump régime is currently doing is the exact right thing to do, but some things are in the right direction.
4:10 It's not all Jesus asked us to do, but clearly part of it.
Yes, there are lots of things one can and must do individually, not matter what the régime, but Matthew 28 clearly states wanting a Christian nation and therefore also government is a good and for much of the time necessary thing.
Obviously, once the world enters Apocalypse 13, it's no longer an option. Speaking of which, the restrainer, if you ask me, was the Roman Emperor as a monarch. Taken out of the way in 1918 (Nicholas II killed, Charles I abdicated, and some pronounce him as "Charles the Last" for that reason), and Russia finds Lenin and Hungary Bela Kún in power. And if Jesus doesn't, at least St. Paul does say:
only that he who now holdeth, do hold, until he be taken out of the way.
Perhaps it's been too late for Christian nationalism for 100 years and some. 16 Nov. 1918, but he left some room for others to continue resisting. Suggesting the time of withholding may not be over.
There is obviously a relation between a restrainer like that and what was in the ending centuries of the OT the Fourth Beast. So much, the Roman Emperor, if actually such (like Karl Franz Josef Ludwig Hubert Georg Otto Maria up to 1918) is too old to be part of the Endtimes Beasts. Wonder whether AEIOU will be true in a Christian sense or ... I'm sad to see the Austria I knew is not quite itself when I see headlines ...
4:49 That Christianity is the dominant cultural force doesn't make every Christian upper class or high cast and also doesn't degrade non-Christians to lower class or low caste.
It may involve more or less feeling at home within the society, but it would be true of all classes and ... a thing that shouldn't exist in a Christian nation ... castes.
Now, having Marxists as cultural force actually does depend on having Marxists as a favoured class. For instance, a class is favoured if having at the same time better access to becoming teacher and demanding equal access of others' children to the school. A very obvious example to me as a former teacher.
But Catholic bishops don't automatically** draft people into Sunday Mass and Confession just because the country is Catholic. And bishops are anyway much more restricted as a venue than teachers, especially in a country with twelve years of more or less imposed school attendance for most of the population.
I'm not sure if you've noticed, but Christian Nationalists are not just likelier to favour Christians as teachers, they are also likelier to favour homeschooling, meaning, it comes with less power to be a teacher.
I'm also not sure if you've noticed, but Christian Nationalists are not saying "ban Atheists from aborting" or "ban Christians from aborting" but more like, where they have the power for it, "ban all abortions" ... they are not shouting for Christian girls having more ways of getting out of motherhood or Christian parents' babies having better guarantees for not getting aborted.
5:53 "keeping us attached to the things around us"
The rich man didn't become an unbeliever just because he didn't follow Jesus.
Jesus didn't say all believers had to be disciples.
Nor did St. Peter:
Whilst it remained, did it not remain to thee? and after it was sold, was it not in thy power? Why hast thou conceived this thing in thy heart? Thou hast not lied to men, but to God
[Acts Of Apostles 5:4]
In other words, while overcoming attachment to personal belongings is virtuous, it is not obligatory on all Christians. Ananias and Sapphira would have been free to be baptised and Christians and share only some extras, if they had done so openly.
6:16 "transcend into the spiritual"
Sorry, sounds like Gnosticism to me.
We are, body and spirit, poverty or possessions, to become partakers of God's nature***, God's ways°. But we do not become pure spirits, and the bodies will resurrect.
* If he's good at his job or lucky or both. I wasn't.
** In Medieval Sweden absenting from Sunday Mass possibly, absenting from baptising your babies, certainly, got you fined. But this was not the case with Eamon DeValera's Ireland.
*** By infused grace.
° By matching our actions to grace.
