摘要

本文通过对支持特朗普的中国基督徒的知识分子和通俗写作的深入研究，对特朗普的受欢迎程度和美国华裔基督徒的基督教右翼议程进行历史分析。中国教会习惯性地不愿讨论政治，这造成了政治反思的真空，很快就被一些支持特朗普的牧师的政治议程所填补。这些牧师大多是第一代移民，他们带着中国家庭教会在强大的世俗国家迫害下坚持不懈的历史记忆，他们往往没有将这种继承下来的叙述重新置于美国的新环境中。他们想要在美国培养的精神模式，是建立在一种自我认知之上的，这种自我认知是受迫害的少数真理持守者，反对一种不祥的力量，这种力量曾经体现在共产党身上，现在则体现在他们所认为的美国自由主义文化机构身上。

United by Fear: The Rise of Trumpism Among First Generation Chinese Christian Immigrants

ABSTRACT Through close studies of pro-Trump Chinese Christians’ intellectual and popular writings, this paper presents a historical analysis that explains the popularity of Trump and the Christian Right agenda among Chinese American Christians. Chinese churches’ habitual reluctance to discuss politics had created a vacuum of political reflection quickly filled with the political agenda of a few pro-Trump pastors. Most of these pastors are first generation immigrants who carried with them the historical memory of Chinese house churches persevering under persecution from a powerful secular state, and they often did not re-contextualize this inherited narrative to new situations in America. The mode of spirituality they aimed to cultivate in America thrived upon the self-perception of being a persecuted minority of truth holders against an ominous force, embodied once by the Communist Party (CCP) and now by what they perceive as the American liberal cultural establishment.
