How Trump and Christian Nationalism Divided Phoenix Churches

Shortly before the 2024 election, a significant event unfolded at Dream City, a prominent megachurch in Phoenix. Attendees gathered for “Freedom Night in America,” an event organized by Turning Point USA and hosted by Charlie Kirk.

As conversations flowed, a middle-aged woman expressed her deep concern. She lowered her voice, clenched her fists, and stated that her biggest worry was a perceived threat: “Democrats are going after the kids.” This sentiment echoes broader fears circulating among certain groups as the election approaches.

The event highlighted a growing anxiety among constituents regarding educational policies and children’s welfare. Many attendees voiced similar concerns, reflecting a significant segment of the electorate mobilizing around these issues.

As the political landscape shifts, discussions at events like this may influence voter sentiment, shedding light on grassroots movements that could impact the election outcome.
