In this conversation with Tihomir Kukolja — a pastor who grew up under actual communist persecution in the former Yugoslavia — we expose the dangerous gap between real persecution and the loss of cultural privilege that MAGA Christianity has rebranded as suffering.

From Constantine to the Reformation to the American founding, history tells us exactly what happens when the church seizes political power: the persecuted become the persecutors. Every. Single. Time.

We trace the theological roots of Christian nationalism's persecution complex, examine how "loss of privilege" gets weaponized as martyrdom, and ask the question no one in the MAGA church wants to answer: if your faith requires state power to survive, is it really faith at all?
