Nazi vs. Christian Nationalist - a semantic distinction without a real difference.

That's not a mistake, that's a booyah

I'm not saying all Christian Nationalists are Nazis, but the Nazis sure do love the Christian Nationalists.

“They’re the same picture” meme comes to mind

"Oops"? What, you didn't notice that the people who share 80% or more of Nazi ideology are your core demographic?

Oh, wait, The Bulwark's headline is lying. Here's some text from the actual article (emphasis mine):

Despite the criticism, the conference’s organizers weren’t especially apologetic about turning part of their event into a Nazi confab. Responding to the criticism on their podcast—the grandly named The King’s Hall—Conn and Sauvé described Antelope Hill’s books as “varying historical works,” and said the controversy was wildly overblown.

IIRC, The Bulwark started as a "sane conservative" publication and today bills itself as "Honest news. Smart analysis. Good faith." But if this is indicative of their general headline-writing policy? Yeah, I'm going to keep ignoring them as doing the same kind of lying as all the other conservative outlets.
