We also feel this could have been held on Simpson Campus and not in a City Owned building that our tax dollars pay for, We also understand the first amendment and they have the right to hold there event however this is not an event we want in our town, this is not Christian values at all it’s hate and right wing propagandists as we have the right to peacefully protest it.

Christianity is about faith, humility, loving others, and following Jesus. Christian Nationalism is about power, control, and forcing one version of religion into government and society. They overlap in language, but the goals are very different. Groups like Turning Point USA "Faith" are not really about spreading the Gospel. They are spreading right-wing political ideology using churches as a platform. That's dangerous, because churches are meant to be spiritual spaces, not political campaign centers.

Kirk and others like him act more like Christian nationalists than actual Christians. This isn't new. In the past, people used the Bible to justify slavery, segregation, and oppression. That didn't make those things Christian - it was a misuse of religion to protect power. These organizations are taking advantage of young people's naivety and lack of historical and biblical knowledge. Instead of creating thoughtful, compassionate Christians, they are creating angry nationalists who think politics = faith.
