Christian Nationalism’s Airport Threat Just Got Real | Unholy Ground | Andra Watkins & Sam Osterhout

Sam Osterhout is joined by Andra Watkins on Unholy Ground to break down how white Christian nationalism uses the idea of “worldliness” to demonize outsiders, control followers, and justify extreme political action. Andra explains why threats to halt international flight processing in sanctuary cities should be understood as part of a larger authoritarian project: restricting movement, punishing blue cities, and reshaping America around dominionist theology. This conversation connects Christian nationalist language, Project 2025, airport closures, dissent, and the practical steps Americans should consider if they have international travel planned. Subscribe to Lincoln Square for more conversations with Sam Osterhout, Andra Watkins, and the voices warning about authoritarianism before it becomes impossible to ignore.
