    Anyone who’s still a Republican is some combination of fool and monster.

      I’ve been reading a book about this that makes a very good case with data that they are Christian Nationalists or Christian nationalist accommodators.

      Which, oddly enough, shouldn’t be confused with actual Christians who read the Bible and go to church. They are different and they have different beliefs. That’s how stupid Christian Nationalists are, they’re not even Christian.

      Christian nationalism is a separate social construct, and they are, indeed, a combination of fools and monsters. Or monstrous fools.

      The book is short (165 pages) and dense; it’s called Taking America Back For God by Andrew L. Whitehead and Samuel L. Perry and it has been illuminating.
