Turning Point USA's history of racism and white nationalist ties
https://www.mediamatters.org/charlie-kirk/turning-point-usas-history-racism-and-white-nationalist-ties
Nicht mal vormittag durch und ich hab schon wieder genug von Politik...
Hier, der Nachwuchs an Trumps, Musks, Thiels, Wiles, Pelosies, Homans und wie sie alle heissen.
Advocating climate science denial, “free markets and limited government”, and with numerous links to the fossil fuel industry and Donald Trump, Turning Point claims to have a presence on more than 1,300 college campuses and high schools, engaging in “over 500,000 face-to-face conversations with college students each semester.”
The scandal-hit group has been plagued by incidents of racism and allegations of illegal campaign spending since its launch, with its “professor watchlist” accused of stymying academic freedom.
Nonetheless, Turning Point USA’s (#TPUSA) founders are in town this week for a three-stop tour of the UK, making appearances in London, Nottingham and Brighton, where Sussex University Conservative Society is hosting an event.

Dominionist leaders attending the youth-focused
Turning Point USA #AmericaFest conference in Phoenix over the weekend
portrayed Donald Trump’s election as a "spiritual warfare victory",
and urged Christian-right activists to “occupy” more territory by building a bigger Republican majority in Congress.
The AmericaFest speaker lineup included Trump,
other MAGA politicians,
right-wing commentators like #Tucker #Carlson,
and dominionists like #Lance #Wallnau.
House Speaker Mike Johnson cancelled a planned appearance after becoming the target of MAGA rage over a bipartisan budget deal that was attacked by Elon Musk.
In recent years, #TPUSA founder #Charlie #Kirk has made a public shift from promoting a kind a snarky, irreverent libertarianism
to embracing an aggressive Christian nationalism that characterizes much of the MAGA movement today.
Broadcasting from AmericaFest’s media row on Thursday night was “FlashPoint,”
a show launched by televangelist #Kenneth #Copeland’s "Victory Channel" in the fall of 2020
that has been a platform for pro-Trump propaganda and prophesying.
One panelist was Pastor #Rob #McCoy, a spiritual mentor to Kirk, who told viewers that he had been at TPUSA’s headquarters on election night,
and that when Pennsylvania was called for Trump, Kirk started weeping and said, “All glory to God.”
A recurring theme from the show’s host #Gene #Bailey and his panelists was that Trump’s victory is no reason for the church to relax.
Wallnau said that conservative evangelical Christians are the key to keeping the political pendulum swinging to the right in the midterm elections two years from now
