During a recent episode of his "American Glory" program, radical right-wing pastor Dale Partridge advocated for the dismantling of the United States so that Christian nationalists can form a white ethnostate that will be ruled by a king.
Partridge, who recently called for white Christians to recolonize Africa, insisted that there is no chance that "America can return to the constitutional arrangements of the founding era" and therefore the only chance of avoiding a bloody civil war is for there to be "some degree of balkanization in the United States."
"I think the only form of government that possesses both the biblical legitimacy and the concentrated authority to enact these kind of sweeping structural changes that are necessary to restore America's Christian identity is a constitutional monarchy," Partridge said. "Because that's basically impossible in our current situation, I believe that we need some degree of balkanization in the United States."
"We need an honest recognition that a single sprawling republic that we have right now can no longer hold together a people who do not share the same general ancestry, the Christian faith, the culture, vision of what it means to have a good life," he continued. "If we could balkanize, I would love to see a constitutional monarchy. I'd love to see a 90 percent ethnostate. I'd love to see a new constitution that eliminates a lot of the stuff from the 14th, 15th, 16th, 19th Amendments."
The 14th Amendment grants equal rights to all American citizens, while the 15th Amendment prohibits denying people to right to vote on the basis of race. The 16th Amendment created the income tax, and the 19th Amendment guaranteed women the right to vote.
"I would frame all of our governing documents in far more explicitly Christian language," Partridge continued. "I would also require that any monarch appointed over a people share their ethnicity—that's important—and be able to demonstrate a credible evidence of regeneration; I don't know what that would look like. And I would probably call for a clear right of resistance clause against any monarch who openly abandons the Christian faith."
Partridge said that the "mission" for Christian nationalists is to seek to polarize the nation and "awaken Americans to the hard reality that long-term peace is impossible under the current demographics."
"We must show our fellow patriots, our fellow Americans, that [mass] deportations, balkanization, they're not actually radical ideas, they're actually moderate ideas," Partridge insisted. "They're realistic solutions because the radical idea would be civil war. And so it is a moderate thing to deport, mass deport. It is a moderate thing to balkanize instead of having the bloodshed of civil war. So, when people call you extreme for your position, say, 'No, having ICE put 100 million people out, that's not extreme. What's going to happen if we don't do that is extreme. When we start killing people in the streets because the tensions rise so much.' No, this is the government's duty is to create a moderate solution that eliminates the possibility of bloodshed, which would be mass deportations and some form of balkanization."
Partridge is closely aligned with virulently antisemitic, deeply misogynistic, manifestly racist, theocratic fascist Christian nationalist pastor Joel Webbon and hosts a weekly program on Webbon's NXR network.
