10. Progressive Christians are sane, Dominionists are not.

I have blamed Fox and Facebook for much of the craziness among Trump supporters, but the preachers these people listen to every Sunday are equally to blame for a lot of the nonsense that passes for evangelical Christianity today. And in many rural areas, Christian radio fills in for the Sunday preachers with their venom about liberals, women, LGBTQ, and immigrants and how the country is going to hell because of liberal ideas.

Republicans essentially own the media, including much of the mainstream media that rarely criticizes them. Republican voters thus only get educated about reality when they bother to do their own research, and most of them wouldn’t recognize a reliable resource if it smacked them in the face!

By the way, you were right about the Christian Nationalists I see on the SC. I think Thomas’s wife Ginny is one also. Gorsuch and Kavanaugh are harder to determine, though both seem willing to give special privileges to Christian religious groups.
